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.
