Freeing The Female Orgasm

Sex. It is a human drive that exists to propagate the species. As such, it has a very huge importance to human existence. It is also natural, beautiful and wonderful. Like eating or drinking water, it is a biological urge that can be beneficial if we are responsible with our sexuality.

But, as a whole, there is so much unhealthy anti-spiritual, psychological crap tossed on top of sex that it can take joy out of it for many of us, especially women.

Sexual Double Standards

I was watching a commercial where Gene Simmons was walking across a lawn. As he strolls towards his home, various hot women hold up signs that read 200, 4379, 5006. The announcer pipes in, asking the question that I suppose, is on everybody's minds, "Just how many women has Gene slept with?"

As I watched, I briefly mused about what would happen if a woman starred in that very same commercial.

You guessed it.

There would be a firestorm of protest, and the girl would be called anything from a disgusting whore to a carrier of diseases. I often find it interesting that a man who sleeps with thousands of women is never looked at as a potential spreader of STD's--but if a woman has more than four partners, then men are whispering to their pals "Dude, you better wrap it, she's experienced."

Isn't it wholly possible that if a woman simply enjoys sex (not a crime) and is intelligent, that she could be taking due precautions just like Mr. Playah dude with 101 chicks under his belt? And if she is taking precautions and being responsible with her sexuality, why is she labeled at all?

Just what is with this fascination with men being able to have sex with tons of women anyway?

Concubine Syndrome

I think it all hearkens back to the days when men of power showcased it with the number of wives and concubines he could accrue. Although Christian marriage is currently monogamous, the bible indicates that great Israeli Kings, like David and Solomon, were said to have thousands of wives and concubines. These women were mere possessions, and if one of the "chosen" happened to be number 3,567 on the list and wasn't gotten to for years, well, tough.

Women could languish for years without the benefit of human touch, comfort or love, and if these emotionally and mentally abused attention starved beauties dared to find comfort in the arms of another, well, off with her head.

To an extent, I believe this antiquated paradigm still exists.

Society still views women as possessions to collect and a way to attain social status for a male. It doesn't matter if men have a "reputation", this only makes him the man! The thing I find most interesting is, that no matter how many ladies this dude may have in his "stable", he doesn't want them to have relations with other men.

Guys who say that they denounce such behavior quietly envy the guy, often wondering what the man's "secret" is. If given a chance, most men may indulge in the very same behavior, but don't for any number of reasons.

The Appeal of Virginity

On the other hand, a woman's virtue is all tied up in her vagina and its lack of penile insertion. It would appear that a woman who hasn't had sex is the height of capture for men. I find this funny since, once a man deflowers her, she won't be a "virgin" anymore. Also, at some point ALL women (unless they join a nunnery) are going to no longer be virgins. Mothers, daughters, sisters, preachers wives, humanitarians at some point, they have had or will have sex.

What is the big deal?

Sex is a natural progression of human evolution, why are we attributing "good" or "bad" to female sexuality?

Blame Freud

Let us now consider Freud's theory of penis envy. The theory claims that at some point in feminine sexual development, a girl realizes she doesn't have a penis and gets a little peeved about the fact. I believe this "erroneous theory" springs from ancient ideas that women were incapable of enjoying pleasurable sensations from sex.

Because women were supposedly unable to experience orgasms, the sensual escapism that could be had by boys was a thing to get jealous about. With this rationale in place, any woman who actually enjoyed sex was displaying a "masculine" trait, and was therefore, psychologically damaged.

What great minds like Freud never took into account is the differing physiological as well as psychological aspects of female sexuality. It wasn't that women couldn't enjoy sex, it just takes her a bit more to get to the finish line. If the 70 percent of women who have never had a orgasm via penetration sex is to be believed, men still don't understand the concept of taking time with their lover to get her there.

Humph, and men wonder why they have to beg for sex.

Takin' Shame Out The Game

To free human sexuality, we have to free it for women. Men are already freed in this realm. If men were able to give lend their counterparts a hand and give sexually responsible female props for her experience too, women won't feel so compelled to hide their enjoyment and men will benefit!

I emphasize sexually responsible because I think as with the eating of food, we can take our natural response too far one way. A person who eats too much food can become unhealthy and obese. A person who becomes hedonistic can potentially obtain diseases and spread them, guy or girl. They also become emotionally incapable of sustaining long term relationships over time. Believe me, I am not advocating promiscuous shenanigans of sex romp free for alls. In fact, I think sex is always better in the realm of committed relationships (one California study indicated that people who commit to long term monogamous relationships are physically healthier, and I quote "While men seem to benefit more from the calm a steady partner brings into their lives, there is evidence that both sexes enjoy quieter pain centers in the brain and increased cortisol production when in the company of a spouse"

Also, sex in a committed, LOVING relationship is best when people communicate, and feel comfortable in a GOOD way, which makes sex fun and increasingly enjoyable. My own experience in marriage has been that our sex gets more and more mind blowing and better with time.

Fellas, give the girls a break. If women could be taught the finer points of responsible sexuality, pleasuring men and finding pleasure for themselves, sex will be spiritual, adventurous and fun for all!

Sugarcoat I agree with you completely. - More than a year ago
jasonw Whew, a lot to talk about here.One I agree with your points, responsible women should not be labeled, men do the same thing. Two, virgins are cool because they are often more loyal and treat you better. You don't have to worry about some other guys mistakes and the baggage he has left with her. Three, part of the fascination with men who have a lot of women, is that WOMEN like it (at least as far as intial attraction). Having women after you indicates, value, mystery and possible challenge. - More than a year ago
A-R-Norman I agree with what you said Jason, but only to an extent. Most of the men I know who had virgins worry that the girl will soon grow curious and leave--and in most instances--they did...Also--I wasn't a virgin when I met my man and I am extremely loyal... - More than a year ago
Lancealott I like the points you made A-R-Norman, Also Jason the points you made aren't really that good one just because they virgin doesn't mean they be more loyal and not all women like men that's had a big chuck of girls in the sex world maybe its because I am a Leo but I believe the fewer the partners the better long term relationships are the best thing ever because it takes love and commitment to do it not some random sex which you won't even remember his/her name in the morning - More than a year ago
Virtuales Well women ! we give you respect !
that's why you shouldn't do like us !
we look at you as godesses at some points; so you should act like a Godess ! - More than a year ago
jasonw A R,yeah you are right a virgin may seek greener grass on the other side.I say let her (or tell her you want to date other people for a long while to make very sure this is what you both want),and if she comes back there you go,if not then it wouldn't have worked out long term anyway.I say take your time and give the person freedom to make thier own choices and do what they really want.Not saying experienced woman can't do this or do it even better,I was just explaining some of the virgin appeal - More than a year ago
GoodManDave This is a catch 22 here. "Guys who say that they denounce such behavior quietly envy the guy, often wondering what the man's "secret" is..." So if a man denies it, he's a liar, even if how he feels is true.

Perhaps it may go as far as: "Wow,he's really popular and confident. I wish I had that." Sure. Those of us that are ugly or unpopular, man or woman, would want to feel attractive.

As far as "man whoring" goes, I think it's pretty low, and I don't envy them for the sex they get.

A-R-Norman Again--loving the guys here--well thought our replies! Dave, I suppose I have just met men who seem to say guys like that are jerks, but also are pissed that they can't get women like the playah guy can( my own hubby had this issue)... - More than a year ago
A-R-Norman As for owmen being goddesses--well, If you put a woman on a pedestal, she will surely fall off. - More than a year ago
Diggo Well first off, as a senior in my psychology major and future Neuropsychologist, I have to make a little criticism :) Freud was a great mind, but also a very misled mind. He contributed greatly to the field of psychology, but that was back in the early 1900's. Such ideas are outdated and looked down on. So, then we might ask, has Freud's misconception of women held sway on society? It did for a short while, but it quickly faded. Psychology champions women more than most other careers on earth. - More than a year ago
Diggo "I often find it interesting that a man who sleeps with thousands of women is never looked at as a potential spreader of STD's--but if a woman has more than four partners, then men are whispering to their pals "Dude, you better wrap it, she's experienced"
Also, I disagree with this comment. I am a guy, and see guys such as that as slime balls. I admit, I have a spiritual upbringing, but if having multiple partners is evolutionary and not a sin, than where do we draw the line for wholesome living - More than a year ago
Diggo I think the warcry of "Sexual Freedom" is just a cop-out for loose sex. Your article echoes of more serious cracks in societal foundations, and begs many questions of humanity, religion, psychology, etc. So my opinion, while disagreeing with yours in many instances, is just that; an opinion. I think it's wrong to say "well if guys are so accepted as being sexually free, shouldn't it apply to women?" Two wrongs don't make a right. And I think it's not as black and white as you put it. - More than a year ago
Diggo Final comment. Unfortunately, if you haven't noticed, the media is doing a fine job of portraying women as sex objects, resulting in the decay of morals, male and female. The sad thing is, many women (and men) accept the media at face value, believing the message being portrayed, because many celebrities promote the message (many who are women!)
I will agree with this; men need to do better, but so do women. People seem to think that dignity, self-respect, virtue, are all outdated. It's sad. - More than a year ago
A-R-Norman I emphasize sexually responsible because I think as with the eating of food, we can take our natural response too far one way. A person who eats too much food can become unhealthy and obese...They also become emotionally incapable of sustaining long term relationships over time." You obviously didn't read this part of my post. I am hardly advocating immoral sexual behavior--I am advocating a healthy respect for the natural, female sex drive. - More than a year ago
A-R-Norman "Also, sex in a committed, LOVING relationship is best when people communicate, and feel comfortable in a GOOD way, which makes sex fun and increasingly enjoyable. My own experience in marriage has been that our sex gets more and more mind blowing and better with time." I also said this in the above post--I believe that sex is more spiritual and within the confines of a marriage or long term committed relationship -- again you did not read my whole post... - More than a year ago
brwneyedgirl I agree. double standards for men and women aren't cool. but its our society. I heard it takes about 150 years to change the views that people have set in their minds. I mean 150 years ago, if you were gay, that was NOT cool. but its more accepted today. so hopefully the whole # thing with guys and girls will change.
as for the whole "virgin" thing...... - 9 months ago
brwneyedgirl , I have two totally mixed opinions on that.
im a virgin and not afraid to say it, but I don't broadcast it, but some guys find it "attractive" or totally weird.
i mean, I started something with this guy in university and when he found out I was a virgin he fled. and that was the end of that relationship...
oh well... - 9 months ago
Techan While you sound very well spoken, and have some decent points, I think they are also very much clouded with bias. Your arguments are not very objective and betray a bit of prejudice that most likely is leaning towards grouping men and woman innto the stereotypical categories of your own experience. - 9 months ago
A-R-Norman Techan, I always love a well thought out counterargument--my rebuttal: prevailing media and literature of the contempoary kind is filled with the ideals I spoke of. If this was merely about my own experiences, how could this be the case. Until we acknowledge this issue, women will forever be afraid to express their sexuality which. Judging by statistics that estimate over 60 percent of ladies have a sexual dysfuntion of some kind related to this fear, this topic's time has come. - 8 months ago
Techan Oh and one other thing. In regards to your comment about the gene simmons commercal. I'm pretty sure, that both men and women agree that gene simmons is a nasty man whore who is riddled with STD's. It's mostly just the fame factor that make him at all attractive. If a woman were in that same situation I'm pretty sure that the situation wouldn't be much different. I think people might think a little more harshly of it depending on who she was, but your scenario is a bit of an exaggeration. - 8 months ago
A-R-Norman Techan are we even on the same planet--since when would a woman be looked at kindly for sleeping with thousands of men? I have never in my near 40 years seen that--if you have please point it out... - 8 months ago
A-R-Norman Also--the response about "you better wrap" it was applied to a girl I knew who was not even nearly as promiscuous as Gene Simmons. I was in a group of guys who pointed out this girl and laughingly called her "double wrap" because she was promiscuous--I have never heard a guy being called "double wrap" for being sexual... - 8 months ago
TheBattMan False information. Gene Simmons never slept with thousands of women.

He just had sex with them :) - 8 months ago
A-R-Norman The Battman--very cute LOL--this leads em to another question--do guys like to cuddle--I tend to think some do but may be afraid to say so...

Anyway--thanks for bringing some levity to yon situation my friend! :-) - 7 months ago
the-love-guru Another well written article. So true. And I remembered taking a cultural anthropology class that covered how some cultures still practice female "circumcision" (mutilation) or sewing them up, so they can appeal to their husbands. Their society is taking away the one thing in their life that could bring them pleasure. That would NEVER happen to men. Makes me sad and angry at the same time. Women STILL aren't being held as high as men. - 5 months ago
danielm2009uk A great article, but like most it is very one sided. It is the usual guys always being in the wrong and women suffering where today it is going completely the other way. There is no balance between the two and that is what is needed. I have felt so angry inside about this world (and no I am not a sexist) and the way men and women exist. It makes me feel useless. - 3 months ago
