Yes, exactly! To me these articles and discussions really undermine how important it is to discuss what you and your sex partner want from sex — I can't believe everyone is just jumping all over women who don't prioritize orgasms.

I find it really frustrating when people invalidate the idea that sex without orgasm can be genuinely enjoyable. The best sex I've ever had was orgasm-less. Some people actually just are more interested in intimacy and all that shit. Everyone is different.
I find the responses to this article both depressing and infuriating. An orgasm is not the blue ribbon of The Feminist Sex Experience (TM). Jesus fucking Christ, people. I thought we were feminists? I didn't think that this included making asinine statements about how women who don't prioritize orgasms during sex are…
I've just heard it so many times before—that I must be lying about my lived experiences of having a perfectly satisfying sex life for all 14 years since losing my virginity despite never really orgasming from sex. It bugs me.
Oh great, another article which makes women who can't orgasm at all - whether for physical, emotional, or medication-induced reasons - feel like they are inadequate.
Oh look another person who thinks my sex life is really secretly "frustrating and depressing" and I'm just kidding myself when I claim I am happy and satisfied. Surely I have never encountered one of you before! (eyeroll)
I was so distressed for so long because what I thought was my body finally starting to become physically aroused was the actual orgasm. I thought I was broken, unable to have this apparent greatest thing a human being can have. When I did find out all this time I was having orgasms, but they simply suck? Cue…
For the first time in my life, I'm dating a guy who legitimately doesn't care if he gets off. He's also, like many women, not committed to getting off every time. Which isn't to say we don't have great sex, we always do, but it's measured more in intimacy and general pleasure than how many orgasms you had. It's...…
I have a sexual trauma history, and have never been able to orgasm easily, if at all. For most of my life, I felt somewhat obligated to have an orgasm during sex, so the other person would feel good about themselves. It has made sex a very anxiety-producing event. But not long ago, I discussed with my partner the idea…
Orgasms are great but I don't need to have one every time; sometimes they happen, sometimes they don't. It's always really nice to have a partner that's interested in my pleasure, and wants me to orgasm. However, there is nothing that will keep me further from it than what I like to call "goal oriented" sex.
I started going gray considerably younger than Kate did, and I find it both amusing and a little sad that people are surprised that a woman her age might have a few gray hairs. Dye covers a lot of things.
Someone I had dated for only 4 months once resentfully accused me of loving my cat more than him. I rolled my eyes and said "Of course I do. She has been with me for ten years." Then I decided he had emotional problems if he didn't understand 4 months did not give him the right to usurp my cat in my affections and…
MY CATS LOVE ME. I DON'T NEED ANYONE ELSE.
I also ride in Chicago and think it may be the U.S. capital of cyclists all in black riding the wrong way down one ways at night on brakeless fixies without lights while drunkenly texting.
Considering all the disgusting things we find out about commercial pet food, it's probably just people trying to do what they can to not feed toxic sludge to their pets.
400% sure she just directly quoted Andrea Gibson. Which is cool, because I love Andrea Gibson, but I feel like she ought to at least be acknowledged? Hell, there's a whole 4 lines ripped directly from a poem called Andrew.
The first season was fun.
There's actually a lot more going on here than the article says. The main metabolic problem in obesity is that adipocytes (fat cells) actually swell to the point where they exceed the diffusion radius of the surrounding capillaries, and so they become hypoxic (not enough oxygen). Mitochondria need oxygen to generate…
I'll just say asking people to "guess" where you are from when they ask you that question always seems to me to be a little rude and condescending. Either they already have some sort of idea of where you're from but don't want to assume, or they just don't know and are interested in the answer. Southerners in general…
