Women and masturbation: We’ve come a long way, maybe?

Are women entitled to orgasms? Are orgasms important?

  1. I'll take one for the team and break the ice on this one.

    Well this article was definitely interesting to read and found out some interesting facts. The fact about only "30 percent of women “almost always” or “always” achieve orgasm" was pretty shocking, yet not, compared to men's 75% (not shocking at all). Not to deviate from the word orgasm but I believe women are entitled to the same things men are, and if that means being 100% satisfied (or i guess 75%) then they should have that entitlement. The fact stated about orgasms being "stress-reducers for many women", I feel if any woman wants to get her stress out by performing this activity, you go girl. We all got to alleviate our stress one way or another. I will also say being satisfied in any aspect of life is important, speaking about relationships, sex, orgasms, or not.

  2. I wasn't entirely surprised by this article, because I've heard statistics worse than this before about the number of women who actually achieve an orgasm during sex. However, that is not to say that it's ok. Why should a man be any more entitled to an orgasm than a woman? Sex is a two-way street, and is supposed to be just a pleasureful for the woman. And if sex is important to you (which it is to most people), then yes, orgasms should definitely be important too. Sex is used for a release, for pleasure, for stress reduction. And what is any of that with out an orgasm?

  3. I agree with the article to a degree. I believe that women should be entitled to orgasms because its a form of stress relief. I also think its beneficial for women to explore themselves physically to know what feels good to them as far as satisfaction. When a woman knows how to satisfy herself then she could direct/teach her partner how to satisfy her needs. I don't agree with however the statistic as far as only "30 percent of women...achieve orgasms" because I believe there is some information lacking as far as the statistic. It doesn't clarify if women know what an orgasm feels like or what it is. Most women don't even know what an orgasm is especially since only 30 percent have actually had an orgasm. Its almost like when a woman is pregnant for the first time and she has contractions...how do they know what it is since they have never had them before? Unless they are in a hospital bed and the machine tells them. Plus each woman is different so every orgasm is going to be a different experience to them.
