Female Orgasm: Bias In The Science Of Evolution

50.) Male orgasm and ejaculation are not one and the same process, although in most men the two occur simultaneously. Orgasm refers specifically to the pleasurable, rhythmic muscular contractions in the pelvic region and the release of sexual tension. Ejaculation refers to the release of semen that usually accompanies orgasm. Orgasm without ejaculation is not uncommon in boys before puberty. It can also occur is the prostate is diseased or as a side effect of some medications.

The first chapter opened my eyes to diverse topics about human sexuality in general. My generation has sex almost emotionlessly because of the hookup scene that surrounds us in society. But we have sex until one of the partners has an orgasm. “Our concept of sex has become so male-defined that the single orgasm has become the gold standard for women’s sexual response, and orgasm is often considered “optional” despite many women’s ability have multiple orgasms (Chalker 23).” This concept of sex seems to be

However, sometimes the individual or couple may encounter problems in one or several areas of these events. According to Sewell (2005), sexual dysfunctions are characterized as impairment or a disturbance in one or more of the basic stages of the sexual response cycle. The four phases associated that can determine normality or a state of functioning is desire, arousal, orgasm and resolution (Sewell, 2005). When these phases are not interrupted the sexual response cycle varies from person to person and “even from time to time within persons” with no single, normal, or correct sexual response (Sewell, 2005). The first phase of the sexual response cycle, desire encompasses the want or libido to engage in sexual behavior. This phase is followed by arousal which progresses at varied rates between men and women with men progressing quicker than women. Women need foreplay and intimacy to become physically aroused. In this phase, physical signs of this are vaginal lubrication in women and penile erection in men, with accelerated breathing in both. Through physical touch and intercourse, arousal progress toward orgasm. The succession from the last phase of arousal to orgasm varies between men and women, while both experience muscle contractions, men are able to achieve this quicker with

Women’s’ heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate all continue to normal following an orgasm in both men and women. Both male and female may become relaxed and have a feeling of satisfaction. A major difference in men from women in this phase is that men enter a refractory period or a time when they are not responsive to further sexual stimulation. During this period the male cannot experience another orgasm or ejaculate. The amount of time that the refractory period lasts depends greatly on the age of the male. In young males the period may last only a few minutes, in males that are 50 or older the period may last from a few minutes to an entire day. Women do not experience this refractory period and can become quickly aroused again to the point of having repeated or multiple orgasms if they so desire and if they continue to receive sexual stimulation.

Recently, Jessica Boskoff was interviewed in the Perfect Palette. She shared her views on a number of interesting subjects. The interview lets her fans know more about her background and just what makes her such a fabulous designer in an industry that is filled with plenty of competition. Event planning and wedding design seem second nature to Jessica Boskoff. She is one of the new and most innovative designers around, according to Perfect Palette. She certainly has an amazing way of looking at design that captures the imagination.

Delightful Hands by Andrew Pace is a book that helps couples enhance their partners’ satisfaction during sex. The author concentrates on helping men with techniques that will help women have an orgasm or multiple orgasms due to having high libido. This book concentrates on women sexuality using pictures, thorough explanations and real-life stories to explain the different techniques that could please a woman sexually. There are also techniques women can use to aid in having an orgasm when their partner is pleasing them.

At times, some of the sexual problems for men or even women can be very discomforting that can make their lives somewhat complicated to attain a healthy relationship. “Men who experience lack of erections tend to consider themselves less masculine than other men (Thompson & Barnes, 2013, pg 432). Having erectile dysfunction or even premature ejaculation that last for a few seconds can decrease the sexual desire from their partner. “Twenty two percent of men have experienced the issue premature ejaculation” (Crooks & Bauer, 2014). Female’s haves several, but the most common that I’ve noticed in the readings were Female Orgasmic Disorder (FOD), which is a condition in women which can be repetitive inabilities and difficult to reach an orgasm

An example would be that some women experience orgasms through sexual fantasy or in an erotic dream. The second issue is although an induvial with SCI doesn’t have any sensation in the area below the waist, there are various erogenous zones in their upper body they can focus on. The third issue, is that orgasms have generally been defined by nondisabled people in their observations of other nondisabled people. Society defines that by; women experiencing orgasms the climactic sexual moment during clitoral, vaginal or anal stimulation; basically if your body doesn't let you do any or all of these things, apparently you can't have an orgasm. However, this is not true, orgasms are nothing more (or less) than a total body experience of intense pleasure; often preceded by a buildup of intense sexual and bodily tension, followed by a completely relaxing sensation in your body and/or

They hate to rush the orgasm – unfortunately, these days sex has become more of a physical thing for most men. There is not so much pleasure and passion involved into the act. Men are eager to simply get it over with. And while for men this is a normal concept, women are not very fond of it. Once they start to see sex as a physical act and not an emotional one , their desire and passion goes away. So they appeal to faking their orgasm.

The ethnicity of the women were not included in the article. I believe this is a representative sample because most women’s bodies function the same way. The conclusions were based on results that were gathered through various pelvic ultrasound tests that were performed before sexual arousal, during sexual arousal, and after orgasm. All women had similar results of a quickly filling bladder during arousal and a complete emptiness of the bladder during or after orgasm. The liquid that was discharged had a similar composition of that of the urine samples that were taken before the study when the women were asked to empty their bladder. It is concluded that “squirting” is essentially an involuntary expulsion of urine during or after an

Based on a study by Erin Cooper of Temple University, approximately 60 percent of women have faked an orgasm during intercourse or oral sex (Livescience.com, 2011). Cooper’s results showed a majority of the women surveyed said they faked it due to their own fear of intimacy; they also reported faking orgasm, because they felt insecure about their sexual functioning, or because they want to get it over with (Livescience.com, 2011). Faking orgasms while in a relationship often damages the relationship in and out of the bedroom.

The author made references to several types of research on this topic, and many researchers have exposed their findings of the female ejaculation. For instance, in 1966, two researchers named Masters and Johnson specified they did not find any ejaculators amongst their female participants. Later on, by examining the data from 1000 women in their sex therapy programs. Masters and Johnson concluded that only a few of these women reported an emission of fluid at the moment of orgasm. It was then indicated that these cases could be clarified by urinary stress incontinence and recommended Kegel exercises or urinary surgery.

In 1997 Whipple and Brash-McGreer proposed a circular sexual response pattern for women. It comprises four stages (see Figure 2): seduction (encompassing desire), sensations (excitement and plateau), surrender (orgasm), and reflection (resolution). This model demonstrates that pleasant and satisfying sexual experiences may have a reinforcing effect on the woman, leading to the seduction phase of the next sexual experience. If, during reflection, the sexual experience was not satisfactory, she may not have a desire to repeat the experience. (Whipple et al , 1997)

In case four, Karen is in a new relationship and does not feel relaxed enough to climax in front of her partner so she has been faking orgasms. According to the article, “coming to power: women’s fake orgasm’s and best orgasm experiences illuminate the failures of (hetero)sex and the pleasures of connection.” Breanne Fahs claims, “The prevalence for women faking orgasm is remarkably high, with studies consistently showing that over half of women have faked orgasm, with many women faking consistently. One study showed that women faked orgasm during 20% of their encounters, with many women faking it far more often than that particularly with male partners while engaging in penile-vaginal intercourse. Clear gender differences exist in perceptions about faking orgasms, as most men reported that they do not know when women faked their orgasms” (975). There can be many reasons why a person would fake an orgasm such as, fear of hurting the partner’s feelings, physical exhaustion, wanting the sex to end, or avoidance of conflict with their partner. A way to overcome Karen’s obstacle would be to open up their sexual communication. Everyone is different when it comes to sexual satisfaction and it is important to communicate what the person’s likes or dislikes. “The notion of sexual agency has become of particular concern for sex researchers interested in women’s embodied sexual selves, as women who assert their sexual needs, refuse unwanted sex acts, proactively engage in what they
