Discussion 9

It’s interesting how Koedt highlights that Freud’s studies are based on the male ego. “on his assumption of women’s inferiority to men.”. It prompted me to search up the question, “do women orgasm through vaginal penetration.” I read this, “Although some women experience orgasm with vaginal penetration during sex, most women are orgasmic only during stimulation of the clitoris. Differences in how women and men experience orgasms can lead to unrealistic expectations and a misinterpretation of the meaning of sexual response.”-mayo clinic. I did not ever think that some women wouldn’t be able to receive an orgasm through vaginal penetration, but I did know that one could obtain it through clitoris stimulation. I feel like it also highlights the narrative of why people think a woman should only be able to experience sex with a male and not a female. “The assumption that mature female orgasms are vaginal is evidence that sex has been defined as heterosexual and by what is pleasurable to men, not women.” This line stuck with me because many men do not take their time to please a female. I feel like it is effortless for a man to have an orgasm, and in many cases, men orgasm first. After that, the sex is finished. The overall understanding is that a woman orgasms strictly through vaginal penetration and is neglected any other need. Genuinely the idea of sex has been very much only bee defined under a heterosexual scope and a man’s perception.

    Victoria, I appreciate your outside source here because it brings more context to the discussion. I found it interesting to learn, from your post, that the assumption female organs are vaginal is why sex has been defined as heterosexual. That is an interesting idea to explore, as we see how society’s norms have been constructed into many ideas that are simply ingrained in our society’s beliefs. This is also why, as you have stated, men fail in pleasuring women during intercourse and leave them unsatisfied. For this exact reason, it is important that everyone gain knowledge on the subject and understand sexual interactions and the anatomy of the woman’s body.

    Hi Victoria,

    I agree with you that it is effortless for a man to have an orgasm, and in many cases, men orgasm first. I believe many men are also selfish in the bed as they only care about their own pleasure.
