Is It Normal If I Can't Have a Vaginal Orgasm? The problematic notion that vaginal orgasm is the norm for assigned women's experience of sexual pleasure can be traced back to Sigmund Freud, at least in part.
Freud believed that orgasming from vaginal stimulation alone (i.e. having a vaginal orgasm) was more mature than orgasming from clitoral stimulation. He believed this because he thought that the clitoris was a male organ, due to its structural similarity to a penis. Needing or wanting to stimulate these "male" parts for pleasure made women less feminine, and thus less mature. Today, we know that Freud's beliefs about women's sexual pleasure were based on flawed reasoning and heterosexist assumptions. Types of Orgasms and How to Achieve Them.

But in his attempt to counter the reductionism that frames human sexuality as a mere physiological phenomenon driven solely by our evolutionary biology, de Botton overcompensates by reducing in the opposite direction, negating the complex interplay of brain and biology, psychology and physiology, that propels the human sexual experience. That’s precisely what Naomi Wolf, author of the 1991 cultural classic The Beauty Myth, examines in Vagina: A New Biography (public library) — a fascinating exploration of the science behind the vastly misunderstood mind-body connection between brain and genitalia, consciousness and sexuality, the poetic and the scientific. 2 Full Energy Orgasm Videos.
