O For Orgasm

Orgasm Studies

Well....now that got your attention there is immense pressure to deliver, not to disappoint. Fortunately unlike The Yankees, I deliver best under pressure.

This is a core Asian Invasion issue really. Sex and wastage of fiscal resources, all wrapped into one. The irony will not be lost on you that I have come rather late for this debate. Been busy you see. Mind not on the job. Not really that interested. Felt a headache coming on.

It all started when a team including Annamarie Jagose, an associate professor of media studies, and curiously a writer of fiction, was given (euphemistically they say "granted") a cool hard $465,000 to study aspects of sex. Some of this money she was given will go to study orgasm, albeit the nastiest beast of all - the fake orgasm.

Without going into too many gory details because it's a family show, I believe women fake orgasm for two reasons:

1. They are inherently dishonest.
2. They have poor communications and relations with men.

You won't get this sort of precise fiscally restrained reasoning from Jagose, who seems to be of the persuasion of women that prefer the company of other women. As I have limited sadomasocistic tendencies, I have not extensively read Jagose's work, however based on the fact she appears to be a card carrying member of women who prefer the horizontal company of other women, I say why on earth is she being paid to comment about faking orgasms?

Indeed this woman appears to have created an entire career in writing about topics and lecturing on them that really do not mean a great deal to mankind. She has excelled merely in overcomplicating the simple act of fucking or making love and turning it into something that no one can really enjoy without having to think of every possible academic angle, and better still - paying her to study it.

Some things in life just need theory left at the door and instinct to take over.

I am a staunch advocate against faking orgasms and have never done so myself. All women who fake orgasm submit a great disservice to all other women. They are the enemy. Whereby a man cannot so simply fake their definitive ending of the act as there is usually substantive product at the end of the process, women have the power to end sexual intercourse whenever they like by pretending they are satisified with an orgasm. The male of the species then thinks by the unspoken signal that he has done a great job and so lets himself go and the act is prematurely ended.

Rather like students with the current politically unchallenging NCEA system, the worst part is that the man could be completely and utterly inadequate and he goes off in life happily thinking he is better than he is merely because the woman has responded with an apparent Academy Award winning performance of enjoyment and satisfaction. He then repeats his supporting act on the next female and so on....

This is why a great deal of the male youth of today think that sticking the old fellow in missionary and pumping 100 times at 100 beats per minute is acceptable. Women have pretended to orgasm on this just to get the man to stop because it's oh so bloody awful. This may just be the ultimate in betrayal between the sexes. It is why also a lesbian should never be paid any money to study faking orgasms. It's about as silly as Cactus Kate being paid to study monogamy for the alleged benefit of married women.

In fact, yes I suspect a conspiracy alot larger than Jagose being on the panel that gave out the money. Lesbian women are going to study fake orgasms in order to ruin sex for all men. Yes it's all a cunning plan. As a group in society due to their extensive bilateral knowledge of the 18 yard box, lesbians I suspect have absolutely no problem getting all attempts on target in the orgasm department. Possibly to the point where in the end it is all rather dull and so they shave their heads, grow hairs under their arms, rear goats and wear short sleeved Summit shirts in order to scare off all men and entertain themselves that they are some kind of master group in society because they know the secrets of the female orgasm. They are going to simply conclude like famine, disease, war and capitalism that faking orgasm is entirely the MAN'S fault.

Let me beat them to it with a simple explanation of the applied science of orgasm.

I watch porn. I will happily admit to it. I have watched a wide variety of the stuff, right up to gay male porn and not ONE porn sex scene I have seen I could confidently think as a woman I would gain a legitimate orgasm from should a man have performed such an act on myself. Most of it is quite laughable, including the foreplay and especially the dialogue of course. The orgasms that the female actors are faking are so hilarious that I sometimes think I am watching the Jerry Springer show than soft core porn because in real life it is just SO not like that.

So why do women fake orgasm?

Most women automatically assume a man knows precisely how to make them orgasm. Men don't and necessarily they shouldn't. If men watch too much porn (which you will be surprised at how many do) they will have absolutely no earthly clue. The younger they are the less idea they will have. The longer they have been married, the greater chance they would have forgotten anyway. The reason for this is that unlike same sex female couples that Jagose specialises in, men do not have the advantage of using the equipment themselves. If men could all be women for a day I am sure all this would change. But they can't. Poor buggers.

Sex is the ultimate in communication between the genders. It's alot easier biologically I am told for the woman to make the man excitable than the other way around. This has also been my practical experience, I have never had much of a problem operating the male instrument. It does not even need an instructional manual, the mechanics are pretty simple if he is not drug or alcohol impaired. If in doubt simply bite the male nipples. Therefore the onus really is on women to lead the dance somewhat and make the man 100% sure of what works for her, because like a really testing exam - answers will vary.

Being "good" in bed may not necessarily lead to a woman having an earth moving orgasm all the time. In fact some women can be sexually satisfied without orgasm. Again, so I am told. Women enjoy different things than men when performing sexual acts. The basics are though pretty much the same.

When I meet a man who is brilliantly talented in bed, I know it is for but one reason - he has had sex in the past with a woman who has communicated precisely what she likes and acted like a sex instructor and delivered him the best possible education around. Someone has treated him to something that porn, books and computers cannot. He has been instructed and is completely open to direction the first few times before he tries to ad lib on his own. Frequently when I am cheeky I ask about the identity of this new superhero of mine at the end of the act. In every instance the man has been able to identify the woman by name, rank and serial number. One woman in Auckland I have plenty to thank for if I ever meet her. She's been mentioned twice. She's either a complete and utter legend, a male friendly bisexual or......... a hooker. Her Directorial skills outperform James Cameron, Spielberg and Peter Jackson combined.

Quite simply rather than Jagose allowed to steal the half mill as it's all here on this blog and in Wikipedia anyway, the money would be better spent on an education campaign telling women to be more open about what they do like (left, right, down, harder, softer, longer...) so the poor chaps don't have to keep fumbling around in the dark trying to guess what puts a smile on her dial.

It's called being open and honest. No amount of money though seems to be able to successfully promote that most deep, complex and challenging of academic theories.

You women don't have the monopoly on sensitivity! Sometimes it is the man who has the communication skills and he is able to elicit (either verbally or non-verbally) what works for the woman....and, as you point out CK, some of this can then be generalised across all woman. I agree that you should never fake it (just tell us to stop...we were probably getting bored anyway) otherwise that which was so "successful" last time will be triumphantly repeated each and every time in the future. We blokes are masters of one trial learning :)

Whilst I don't have a huge wealth of experience to draw from, I have had discussions with like-minded people that the amount of noise a woman makes during sex is inversely proportional to intelligence.

Could this be the same root-cause as faking orgasms?

Maybe I need a grant of a few hundred thousand dollars to find out...

Superb piece of writing Kate. The woman who upskilled me when I was a lad had herself had a little dabble with the ladies. I've always thought it was an advantage that she knew her way around, so to speak.

I agree that the fake orgasm is more of a disservice to women than men. In me, it led to a 'who cares if she does come? I'd never really know anyway. Might as well just do what I like' attitude.

Naturally 'what I like' bears a great deal of resemblance to some hardcore porn, simply because that stuff targets the male market. Naturally not all of it, but that's what the fast-forward button is for - to skip over anal and facial scenes, and anything mmf (or more m's). You have to remember that as with Hollywood, porn movies try the shotgun effect, targetting demographics as wide as possible, so the fact that the woman has to do absolutely everything. Someone out there will like the anal scenes, probably Europeans :-)

And my ignorance has never been because I wouldn't listen or didn't want to know. It's because so many women just won't tell you anything about it, because they are terrified of hurting your feelings. There must be some pretty touchy guys out there.

Hmmm. My discussions with female partners leads me to suspect that your observations on male 'training' are pretty spot on. But there are exceptions. On more than one occasion I have been asked how I got my bedtime act together by impressed exes, some of whom were in the habit of having to train their lads up. My response: Porn. The trick was to use plain old commonsense when judging what may be useful (eg: slapping your weewee against her cheeks appears to have no intrinsic value with regard to her pleasure), and to watch for what precipitated the clear signs of obvious female pleasure that occasionally popped up. Of course, you could get another guy to watch the same porn and get entirely different results, I'm sure. But a dirty movie, a genuine desire to please and an eye for detail can go a long way.

Word up. Using porn as a sex guide just leads to trouble, mainly cos a lot of stuff is just done because it looks good on camera.

It might be an urban legend, but there's the tale of the young man who ejaculated on his horrified girlfriend's face because he thought that's what you did in proper grown-up sexy sex.

Nice Post.

I'm of the same ilk as RH. "How did you know what I like!?" some say. Well after careful observation on a few live, heavily breathing specimens, it's not exactly rocket science. I second the importance of the communication factor, with a healthy dose of "You ring your bell, and I'll ring it again" where helpful.

Also, most of the "instructional materials" mentioned above are a bit heavy on the tending of a fire by stoking alone.

I should have added that the teeth should be used g.e.n.t.l.y.

Not one to give away too many secrets but teeth can be used in highly arousing ways. But always g.e.n.t.l.y.

"specifically my" is frightening me though...I am currently not getting any action so cannot specifically be referring to anyone. Are you sure you have the right blogger? Or am I so fucking great in bed that I am having sex with men without actually showing up?

Not that I've ever had an experience with the female O, I can only conclude that this pertinent advice. Its the same with man on man action: blowjobs will only be wet wastes of time until you tell the operator on the other end to do it right.

hmmmm as a card carrying gender indifferent I would say that the male of the species needs to be taught that female orgasm (like the male) is a muscle spasm.....and should learn to feel that muscular response,then they can identify the fakers themselves. That does of course rely upon the male being able to do 2 things at once.....need i say more

Clearly I don't read your blog sufficiently often anymore.

I didn't get more than half-way through this piece. What would be a much more useful study is the clear correlation between guys who don't give a shit whether a chick peaks or not, and whether she achieves orgasm.

The brow-beating non-lesbo feminazis have been hell-bent on convincing the world that the purpose of the penis is to give pleasure to chicks.

Question: How come man-hating lesbos use strap-ons?

in response to insolent prick
1. cos they don't go soft
2. you can wash them and know they're clean.
3. you can tuck them away in a drawer till next time and they don't moan
4.they don't grunt and fall asleep
5.they don't need a performance appraisal
6.they can always perform
7.they come in such pretty colours
8. it's men they hate, not penetration
9. they don't have an ego

oooh I could keep going all day

Wendy,

That was a rhetorical question. And none of them are particularly good reasons.

How many successful full-time lesbos are there outside of New Zealand politics, anyhow?

Congratulations on your great article. Without being critical I'd like to make two points. Firstly concerning your sentence 'men do not have the advantage of using the equipment themselves. If men could all be women for a day I am sure all this would change. But they can't. Poor buggers.', but they can, and they do. It's all in the word you chose to pity them, a great number of straight men love to be fucked, buggered in other words. Ask any experienced gay guy and he'll tell you the same. They love it.
Secondly, when a woman like you can be so open and funny about her sexual experiences isn't it time we gave up this them and us, homo/ straight crap. We're all sexual beings, and liberation is beginning to allow us to express ourselves much more freely, so what's with lables, that's the past.
Good on ya, more please.

Yeah, I dunno I got my girlfriend to come last night by going down on her in the regular fashion but couldn't repeat the performance this morning using identical technique. I thought perhaps I lacked the finesse that an espresso induced awareness might have provided but she told me it was just cos she was pissed last night and that made it easier.
Alcohol is a social lubricant in more ways than one it would seem.

Actually, there are very few straight guys I've met who DIDN'T enjoy anal stimulation - one of the most sensitive and pleasurable spots on a male is the prostate, (perhaps inconveniently) situated a couple of inches up the bum. If it feels great, what's the problem?

I can't see one. It certainly doesn't make them bisexual or gay - it makes them receptive to additional sexual pleasure which you, dear sir, are almost certainly missing out on. Sucks to be you.

Good luck with that homophobia, eh?

Amanda,

Not homophobic in any way, but surely sexual arousal, and or enjoyment, are equal parts physical and mental?

ie: I just dont want anyone touching my anus, thanks all the same, and I dont care whether it is one of the most sensitive parts of the body, it just isn't sexy for me.
Surely it's a little unfair to say that not wanting to be penetrated is homophobic, rather than the more likely explanation of simply a symptom of being a hetero male...

Back to the subject of female orgasm, and or faking it: another relevant part of the mental/physical equation is that when my partner is obviously enjoying sex, I am going to enjoy it a lot more too.
