Problems of Orgasm - Absence of Orgasm

There are some men who have difficulty reaching orgasm in sexual intercourse, but the problem is much more common among women. While most men easily reach orgasm, many women find it difficult to achieve this simple goal. Some do reach it, even regularly, only after many years of intercourse. Others cannot reach it in vaginal intercourse, but have no problem when stimulated by hand. Still others eventually adjust to enjoying the excitement and plateau phases of their sexual response, thus finding their own version of sexual satisfaction. Still, many of these women can he helped by sex therapy. Indeed, some feminists have gone so far as to imply that every woman can potentially reach orgasm and therefore have generally spoken of "preorgasmic” women. However, this is unwise, because it puts an additional burden on some women, who remain anorgasmic after all. It is like calling the poor milkman Tevye "pre-rich". It is simply unfair. Some poor people do become rich, but not all.
