Men:
share blame; improve sexual abilities

Society
says women should satisfy men sexually
and fulfill their fantasies.
Headlines, such as “Learn how to please your man in bed,” teach
women that satisfying men is their only goal. Additionally, society teaches
men they are the ultimate beings, who can sexually satisfy a woman.
But what if a woman has intercourse with a man but does not experience an orgasm?
What if he just does not fulfill her sexual needs and desires?
According to an Associated Press article, a recent study found certain genes
might cause women not to orgasm. It showed 2 percent of men don’t orgasm,
compared to 12 to 15 percent of women who don’t.
Additionally, it stated “more women were able to orgasm during masturbation,
with 34 percent always reaching orgasm.”
So if researchers and scientists discover the gene causing women to not experience
orgasms, it stated, “It could potentially pave the way for future therapies
to treat women who cannot reach orgasm.”
The article was shocking because the research did not consider one major reason
why women may not experience orgasms: men are not satisfying women sexually.
Maybe men are not doing something right.
It’s acceptable for a man not to experience orgasm to a certain extent.
But if a woman does not, it is considered like a disease and the woman is in
desperate need for treatment.
In 1971, Ann Koedt, a woman activist, wrote “The Myth of the Vaginal
Orgasm,” which discussed how women who failed to experience orgasm were
considered “frigid” and were recommended to psychiatrists for treatment.
It seems that belief still continues in present day.
Men should admit they cannot satisfy every woman sexually, instead of blaming
it on women’s genetics. Women should stop faking orgasms and say what
they really want from their partners and have their sexual desires and fantasies
fulfilled. Sex is a beautiful thing when they’both can enjoy it.
