Orgasm

This class we discussed the orgasm for the female and the male. I found it difficult to do the class activity because I have never heard a guy's explanation of what an orgasm feels like for them. I learned that guys don't just see it as an addiction; rather they feel other emotions and feelings are attached to sharing an orgasm with their partners. In most experiences that I’ve heard from friends, the males are selfish and only seek to have themselves orgasm, which I feel is extremely rude. I thought that only women were comfortable with sharing the emotional side and descriptive feelings involved with the lead up to, and orgasm itself. I have noticed through many of my past relationships’ that I become emotionally attached way quicker than they guys and I feel like that is almost a common trait in many female- male relationships. I think this has a lot to do with what happens in the bedroom, women feel they shouldn't be selfish and should do everything they can to satisfy the male. In reality, it should be a 50/50 split job. We should be getting satisfied just as much if not more than your partner. I think this is where an orgasm for a woman can be stressful because we feel we need to almost ask a man to help us, when in the perfect world they would just offer! 

In class we went over the 4 stages in the sexual response cycle which were 1) Excitement- arousal, foreplay 2) Plateau- physical components are stimulated 3) Orgasmic- sever muscle contractions of genitals, producing pleasure 4) Resolution- cool down.

I found this class very thought provoking because it solidified my thoughts about the orgasm from the females perspective and it changed my ideal perspective the man had on orgasm. It clarified that both male and female can explain an orgasm along the same emotionally attached lines.
