"The Elusive Orgasm"
Before I even started reading this article I was skeptical about what it would contain. "While my classmates traded copies of Sweet Valley High novels, I was pilfering paperback Harlequins from my Auntie's attic collection. I am not proud of that time. And as I look back, I realize how much damage was done in those formative years." This was the quote that caught my attention in the first paragraph, I was super confused why this would cause her problems later on. I think she put way to much pressure on herself to have an orgasm every time she had sex. As she got older you would think that she would think to herself oh those books I read when I was young is not real life. Sure it would be nice if all men were romantic, and sex was perfect but thats usually not the case. I was also super creeped out when she explained how she got herself to have an orgasm. No offense but I don't really want to read about her um experiences. But overall it was an interesting article. Can stereotypical fantasies about sex really influence your sex life forever?

I found this article so weird. I guess it's just hard to discuss and read these types of things. I totally thought it was weird how she was so open about it when it actually happened, like calling her mom and friends. I give her mad props I could never do that I would be so embarrassed.
ReplyDeleteAs a romantic novel reader, I have never had the delusion that a female will always have an orgasm during intercourse. It might be because sex is a more open topic nowadays than it was in the past.
