Women vs. men – who has better orgasms?

I remember reading I Will Fear No Evil by Heinlen as a teen and being totally fascinated by his description of female orgasms being so much more intense than males. It put that idea in my head to the extent that every great once in a while I’ll have a dream about that and I’m convinced that book put that there.

I guess there wasn’t much evidence presented by guys with a decent understanding of the female sexual response then… IME it’s no comparison.

I’d choose to be female tomorrow in a fucking heartbeat.

I saw the Vagina Monologues over 20 years ago and this line still drives me nuts. Handguns often are semiautomatic. So are rifles and shotguns. They all are also just as likely to not be semi automatic. There’s no relation between the two. It’s like saying “who needs a compact car when you have a manual transmission?”

I don’t want to be the type bothered by such little things. But words count.

I like it for its intended message but yeah, that line is a frustrating missed opportunity if you know even a smidgen about firearms. A much more accurate analogy would have been: ‘Who needs a musket when you have a semiautomatic?’.

I didn’t mean to, either, but the simple fact of the matter is that for many years (including those when Real World started) I didn’t have cable at all, and for a couple of years there I didn’t have a TV. When I finally did sign up for cable (or FIOS, whatever) I didn’t take the package that included MTV in it.

I left for college in '88 and that’s around the time that MTV quit showing The Cutting Edge. A year or so after that I began listening to jazz, which gradually became most of my ear diet, and there was very little left on MTV to interest me.

I just can’t imagine a feeling that intense being sustained for 30 minutes.

Fainting seems like a probable outcome :slight_smile:

Women, obviously. Sorry men, but we’ve got to win something. I’ll take my multiple orgasms over having a male body. Not that I wouldn’t like to try it for a day, but I’ll keep what I’ve got.

If any women would like to help me collect empirical data to settle this question, my address is 742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield, USA.

Or you could come to my address instead: 1060 West Addison.

All I know is that the answer is “not me”.

I don’t get what people like about orgasms. Sure, there’s an empirical feeling of pleasure, but when it happens it dramatically reduces the state of being turned on, which is a sustainable state in which anxiety is significantly reduced.

God, it’s almost like you people don’t experience anhedonia and don’t use arousal as a form of self-medication!

Am I the only one who uses sexual fantasies to help me go to sleep?

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!

(2nd attempt – I thought I’d posted this in the wrong thread)

I remember seeing this in 7th grade – skip ahead to 7 min 00 sec; I don’t think there’s a way to link directly to that point.

I don’t think I got it (i.e. knew what an orgasm was) until seeing a re-run several months later.

Which state?

It’s a bit of a mystery, yes, but if you look at the clues, you’ll figure it out.

A note on the lesbians have longer sex issue: Having sex for longer doesn’t mean you are having better orgasms. For many, it probably means taking more time to get to orgasms. That might be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your temperament and your mood.
