Myth Regarding Female Orgasm
I may not be a great actress but I’ve become the greatest at screen orgasms. Ten seconds of heavy breathing, roll your head from side to side, simulate a slight asthma attack and die a little. - Candice Bergen
As happening as orgasm is, so is the myth surrounding the female orgasm.
In their quest for the best orgasmic experience, owing to all the hype surrounding the topic, many women are of the belief that if they do not reach an orgasm, there must be something so terribly wrong with them. What many do not know is, achieving an orgasm by other means, not necessarily through intercourse, is a normal part of female sexuality.
Often, there could be underlying medical problems especially if a woman was once able to reach an orgasm, which is eluding her presently. Medication side effects could also be one reason for orgasmic disorders. Further, women who do not reach an orgasm may not be aware of their own bodies.
Men often blame their skill if they cannot help their women achieve an orgasm. Reportedly, the two main reasons why female orgasm is elusive during partner sex (heterosexual) are—the man is not patient enough to wait for the woman “to cum” and the woman is either not aware of her own pleasure zones or doesn’t prompt the man enough. Though communication, closeness, and foreplay are key ingredients for a mind-blowing orgasm, ultimately, a woman is responsible for her own sexual pleasure.
Finally, healthy sex is not just about having an orgasm. Closeness, comfort and caress are vital for a healthy sexual relationship. Orgasm is ‘good-to-have’ rather than a ‘must-have’ for great sex.
