性高潮不代表一切
最後要說明的是，用縮短性行為的持續時間和將性行為變成有目標指向的苦差事，這種過分強調性高潮會剝奪男女性伴的許多性快樂。因而，性行為成了一項工作，另一種評定個人成敗的測試。於是，成功的結局，即性行為的“巔峰狀態”(而不是性行為本身)，變成了性行為主要關注的目標。換一句話說，操控全部注意力的，已不再是性行為的過程而是性行為的產物。不幸的是，這種對可能結果的狹隘執著容易減低當時的性快感。的確，這可能會嚴重地干擾當事者的性反應。其結果是，男方可能為了自己的性滿足過快地達到了性高潮，而女方可能根本就達不到任何的性高潮。

Orgasm is not everything
Finally, the overemphasis on orgasm robs men and women of much sexual pleasure by shortening the duration of their sexual intercourse and by turning it into a goal-oriented task. Thus, sex becomes work and, as such, still another testing ground for personal success or failure. At the same time, the successful finale, the "climax" of sexual intercourse, not the intercourse itself, becomes the major concern. In other words, it is no longer the process but the product which now commands all the attention. Unfortunately, this narrow fixation on the possible outcome tends to diminish the real pleasures of the moment. Indeed, it may seriously interfere with the sexual response. As a result, males may reach orgasm much too quickly for their own satisfaction, and women may not reach any orgasm at all.
