Women and Orgasm
Everyone can
orgasm, but not
everyone does.
Orgasms vary from person to person - there is no 'natural' or typical orgasm;
some women need direct clitoral stimulation (touching of the clitoris) during
sex in order to have an orgasm, others don't.
The orgasm is not the most important part of
sex, it is an important part.
Not every sexual encounter - masturbatory or
with a partner - has to climax with an orgasm.
'Coming together' is not as common as sexual
'gossip' would have us believe - most partners have mutual orgasms only
occasionally, some couples never do.
In their youth, a majority of women find
reaching orgasm hard - as they get older and become more sexually experienced,
it becomes easier. Sexual intercourse alone, that is, penetration of a woman's
vagina by a man's penis, may be sufficient to bring the man to climax. But it
very often is not enough to make a woman reach orgasm - in fact it is very
common for a woman not to have an orgasm if her only sexual stimulation is
intercourse.
An orgasm is much more likely to eventuate if
both partners are relaxed and happy about having sex together, are 'turned-on'
by each other and are able to arouse and excite each other in ways that are
mutually satisfying.
The inability to experience an orgasm is a
common sexual problem, especially so with women. Roughly 1 in 10 women (and
this could be a conservative estimate) report never having an orgasm but in
most cases the problem can be overcome.
