In case four, Karen is in a new relationship and does not feel relaxed enough to climax in front of her partner so she has been faking orgasms. According to the article, “coming to power: women’s fake orgasm’s and best orgasm experiences illuminate the failures of (hetero)sex and the pleasures of connection.” Breanne Fahs claims, “The prevalence for women faking orgasm is remarkably high, with studies consistently showing that over half of women have faked orgasm, with many women faking consistently. One study showed that women faked orgasm during 20% of their encounters, with many women faking it far more often than that particularly with male partners while engaging in penile-vaginal intercourse. Clear gender differences exist in perceptions about faking orgasms, as most men reported that they do not know when women faked their orgasms” (975). There can be many reasons why a person would fake an orgasm such as, fear of hurting the partner’s feelings, physical exhaustion, wanting the sex to end, or avoidance of conflict with their partner. A way to overcome Karen’s obstacle would be to open up their sexual communication. Everyone is different when it comes to sexual satisfaction and it is important to communicate what the person’s likes or dislikes. “The notion of sexual agency has become of particular concern for sex researchers interested in women’s embodied sexual selves, as women who assert their sexual needs, refuse unwanted sex acts, proactively engage in what they

There has been much research directed towards unveiling the mysteries of the female orgasm. Statement number nine on “The Sexual Knowledge Survey” distributed by Nassau Community College states that, “there are two different types of biological orgasms in women: clitoral and vaginal”. Without any added research, I would automatically assume that to be correct because I believe that when a woman is stimulated in different areas in distinctive ways she will receive endless amounts of various types of responses leading to different types of orgasms. Faye Brennan submitted an article to “Women’s Health Magazine”, that not only supports my opinion but also describes in depth the differences between the various forms of an orgasm. According to Brennan,

Our views on women’s sexual pleasure especially female orgasm was a topic of misinformation for males to hold all the power in everything even in sexual intercourse so males can further establish their dominance and women to continue be subordinate. Then in 1968 Anne Koedt published “The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm” where she challenged the foundation of these thoughts and how the world thinks of the female orgasm. Yet the mass media and social norms today still depict males as the dominant person in a relationship and female are subordinate to them.

Today’s society is a sexual playing field. Celebrities on television and movies, models on the covers of magazines, and even politicians have become sexual legends in the map of American society. The issue of sex is publicly discussed, on media and otherwise, and as such, it has become, to a great degree, a measure of self-worth. Issues such as breast size, penis size, and sexual stamina have flooded the American public with the idea that one is defined by how sexually appealing s/he is.

Sex is an important part of most relationships. But, for many men, sex is a source of embarrassment or anxiety rather than pleasure.

Kaplan’s excitement and orgasm phases are similar to Masters and Johnson’s phases of excitement and orgasm. Masters and Johnson’s model begins with excitement, which is the initial sexual arousal phase. Changes that occur during this phase is erection of the penis, lubrication of the vagina, muscle tension, and an increase of heart rate and blood pressure. (Cosgrove & Ronk, 2014). These changes occur in both models.

Some men experience erectile dysfunction which is clearly a situation of lack of ability of getting an erection and sustaining it long adequate for sexual lovemaking. Erection begins with physical or intellectual stimulation wherein the blood flows to create stress and makes the male organ broaden.

A susceptible erection, erectile dysfunction or untimely ejaculation is often called sexual weak spot.

The role of the orgasm in heterosexual relationships is significant in having a satisfying malefemale relationship according to society’s expectations. By using the malefemale binary, as well as exploring the social construction of sex, we can see just how significant the role the orgasm plays in heterosexual relationships.

The female sexuality plays the very important role in both DRACULA and MAXIMUM GAGA. They both talk about the virginity and dissoluteness in female sexuality, but have different views about it. In DRACULA, only virginity is accepted; dissoluteness is completely intolerable. Stoker thinks virginity is very precious, and he want the readers know that women will be punished for being lascivious, so each female character has different ending in terms of their virginity. In MAXIMUM GAGA, Lara didn’t give an exact attitude about the virginity and dissoluteness in female sexuality; she thinks they can exist at the same time.

Sex. A lot of people have it, a lot of people want to have it, and it is generally considered a pretty great thing, but why are there so many taboos surrounding sex? Particularly, there seems to be a lot a taboos pertaining to women and their relationship with sex. Society has always been uncomfortable with women expressing their sexuality and often downplays women’s capacities for sexual pleasure. Our literature reflects this. Women in literature do not often express their sexuality openly, or if they do, they are vilified. If the women are not vilified, the book will often be banned (like several of the books we’ve read in class, like Mrs. Warren’s Profession and Chéri).
