Abstract
This paper examines physiologically orgasm in both males and females, the psychologically and physically benefits accorded the participants in sexual intercourse and orgasm and how the American work ethic forces society to view sex and orgasms as something to be "achieved" rather than in which to take great delight. The author points out that, while researching this topic, he has learned that sexual intercourse and orgasm, when experienced regularly, can serve to replace long, boring and strenuous workouts at the gym and, when engaging in a sexual relationship, it is most beneficial for the partners to communicate and try to enjoy the entire experience in and of itself. The paper relates that society focuses heavily on its goal that orgasm is achieved each time there is sex thereby neglecting all the wonderful feelings and excitement that is associated with orgasm.
From the Paper
"Today, in an era with the fabled multiple orgasm and general sexual liberation (although the U.S. military still has a don't ask don't tell policy), the trend is that sexual intercourse is the prized portion of the intimate relationship and everyone should work to attain orgasms. The following will examine how this belief system has even infiltrated the language of sex. The term foreplay including activities like kissing, hand-stimulation of the genitals, and mouth-to-genital stimulation indicates that they are not the real sex act. Foreplay implies they happen before the real deal, before in heterosexual orientation the penis penetrates the vagina. Hyde and DeLamater (2003) coined it perfectly in reference to the common phrase, "'achieving orgasm,' as if orgasm were something to be achieved like a promotion on the job." This is why I chose to research the topic of orgasm and society's perspective. Sex is something special - a biological and psychological requirement and should surpass the influences that burden our days. Once our work behaviors infiltrate the bedroom, it turns sexual intercourse into another work-related activity almost as if we should be punching in our time cards before having sex."

Abstract
This paper looks at the reports of women faking orgasms throughout history and their reasons for doing so. It examines an article by Laura Lewis, ?Why Women Fake Orgasm,? and then presents an argument against faking orgasms - from a feminist perspective and from an equal relationship perspective. The writer concludes that the worst result could be that a woman will feel obligated to continue doing so in the future, indefinitely perhaps, and never achieve the intimacy and joy that results from climaxing with their partner. Includes an outline.
From the Paper
"Why would any person, male or female, fake an orgasm? Throughout history, women have reported faking orgasms much more frequently than men. The reasons are varied, and include the desire to please their mate, self-consciousness at actually achieving orgasm, and the lack of knowledge related to how their ?plumbing? works. Most individuals have likely ?faked? an orgasm at least once in their life. There will always come a time when one just wants to get the process over with, please their partner, and catch a few zzz?s. However, the reality is this: Orgasms are wonderful. Yet for many inexplicable reasons, thousand upon thousands of women fake orgasms on a frequent basis. They do not fake orgasms on occasion only, but rather fake the majority of time rather than the minority."

Abstract
The paper looks at the way in which female desire and sexuality as a whole have been presented in the "Legend of Good Women". The paper explores the masochistic bases of female sexuality as a theme in Chaucer's "Legend of Good Women". Further questions arise in relation to the portrayal of female sexuality in Chaucer's work. The dissertation explores Chaucer's stance as presented in his piece, relates it to the (misogynist) medieval culture, and evaluates its reliability through a feminist-psychoanalytic reading of the text.
Paper Outline:
Introduction
Anatomy as Destiny: Acquiescence and/or Resistance
Pre-oedipal Stages of Development
Phallus
Taking up or Rejecting Gender Roles & Identities
'Women Desiren to have Sovereyntee'
Ambiguities in Female Sexuality
Silence, Secrecy & Suffering
When Sex is Synonymous to Danger & Fear
'Sex Trade'
The Weaker Sex?
Conclusion: Orgasmic Deaths - Masochism at its Peak
From the Paper
"The tension between sexual danger and sexual pleasure is a powerful one in women's lives. Sexuality is simultaneously a domain of restriction, repression, and danger as well as a domain of exploration, pleasure, and agency. To focus only on pleasure and gratification ignores the patriarchal structure in which women act, yet to speak only of sexual violence and oppression ignores women's experience with sexual agency and choice and unwittingly increases the sexual terror and despair in which women live. ... The juxtaposition of pleasure and danger ... [is] an ongoing subject in the lives of individual women who must weigh the pleasures of sexuality against its cost in their daily calculations, choices, and acts.' Entangled in this web of patriarchal constructs, the woman's taking steps towards the reconciliation of the polarities of Desire is not without pain. Not being able to come to terms with the ambivalent nature of her Desire, of Desire in itself, can be even more agonising. In fact, the assertion of female sexual Desire is itself equivalent to standing against patriarchal society and defying its norms; which is not an effortless act. On the other hand, curtailing one's Desire would be to impose restrictions upon oneself, which can often create tensions and anxiety; as Muriel Dimen puts it, 'constraint of desire leads directly to self-betrayal'. Does this suggest that pain and suffering are not inextricable from the woman's experience of negotiating sexuality? Or rather, are these the very elements that lead to fulfilment of female sexual Desire? If this is so, it will not be irrelevant to suggest that female sexuality is extensively based on masochistic tendencies of 'enjoying pain'.

From the Paper
"In Sexual Behavior in the Human Male Kinsey and associates (1948) studied sex phenomena of human beings just as a biologist would study biological phenomena. He presented evidence from a scientist's point of view, void of moral bias or prejudice (p. vii). This report will present a summary and critique of the book. It is a report from a nine year case history study regarding all aspects of human sex behavior (pp. 3, 8). An attempt was made to obtain objective facts about sex through first-hand interviews of persons residing in the United States; approximately 12,000 subjects contributed to the study and around 6300 were male. The male data provided information for this publication (female data was to be presented in a future volume.
This volume began with a presentation of information regarding other studies and the concept of interviewing. The ..."

Abstract
This paper looks at what women want and at what men want when it comes to a sexual partner. It discusses how they go about obtaining the partners they find desirable and looks at the biological defense mechanisms in place to ensure that the right outcome is achieved. The paper first looks at how physical appearance and certain body types make both males and females more desirable to members of the opposite sex. It then examines why women are relatively less promiscuous than men and why the female orgasm is not linked to the exchange of genetic material in the same way that the male orgasm is.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Sexual Reproduction and Survival of the Fittest
Physical Appearance: What Men and Women Appear to Want - and How Physical Attractiveness Might Determine Personal Mating Selections and Behavior
The Behavioral Patterns of Men and Women vis-a-vis Sexuality (Relative Levels of Promiscuity)
The Function of Orgasm in Female/Male Sexual Behavior
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The female orgasm becomes important in all of this because an ovulating woman who is sexually aroused is in a position to have an orgasm that will facilitate the impregnation process. To wit, female orgasms shortly before or shortly after male ejaculation are associated with higher sperm retention whereas the absence of female orgasm greatly increases the likelihood that no impregnation will occur; in short, the female uterus appears more receptive to the male sperm than it would be otherwise (Baker & Bellis, 887-890). In the end, it may be put forward that the female orgasm is actually a defense mechanism for women that reduces the risk of pregnancy at the hands of men they may find tolerable but not altogether desirable; conversely, the male orgasm, to the extent it is always accompanied by ejaculation (and thus climax), can be viewed as a means by which pleasure and the male biological imperative are intertwined. As a result, physical gratification is a spur driving men towards the pursuit of sexual reproduction - and men, as noted, greatly increase their reproductive chances if they have sex with large numbers of women."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that successful copulation and reproduction has been propagated by the human species for millions of years. The writer points out that this process has been studied and researched for centuries to determine the physiological and psychological motivations behind procreation and sexual attraction. The field of evolutionary psychology has attempted to do so, and derives evidence from psychology, neuroscience, anthropology, comparative zoology, sociology, behavioral genetics, and many other fields. The writer discusses that through such studies, more insight may be gained as to sexual attraction, mate choices, and social decisions regarding sex and relationship between men and women. The writer maintains that there is no doubt that human beings will continue mating and reproducing, yet the whole process continues to have a mysterious aura surrounding it. The writer then concludes that although study after study has been conducted, the physiological and psychological motivations behind procreation and sexual attraction are still elusive.
Outline:
Introduction
Evolutionary Function of Orgasms
What Men and Women Find Attractive
Social vs. Sexual Attraction
Conclusion
From the Paper
"This modern day psychology of the human male is no doubt an offshoot from his male ancestors who were physiologically urged to over-reproduce to insure survival of the species.
"Women, on the other hand, do not appear to have such a physiological or psychological need to procreate with multiple males, as women do not compete with other female ova during sexual encounters. Therefore, short-term sexual partners for women may function only to evaluate possible long-term mates, and serve more of a social function whether than a sexual or reproductive one."

Abstract
Sexual arousal disorder is an impairment during any stage of the sexual response cycle (desire, arousal, orgasm, and resolution) that prevents an individual or couple from experiencing satisfaction during sexual activity. The paper details that the affected individuals may be interested in sexual intercourse, but experience difficulty becoming stimulated enough to complete the act. It looks at the treatment possible for this disorder.
From the Paper
"In women, alternative names for this type of disorder may include frigidity and female sexual dysfunction. This disorder refers to women who are indifferent or hostile to sexual intercourse, have no response to sexual advances or stimulation, or are unable to have an orgasm during intercourse. However, the clinical diagnosis usually refers to the chronic inability to lubricate enough to complete the sex act. When women are sexually aroused there is an increase in blood flow to the genital area, which helps prepare her body for intercourse. In addition, vaginal lubricants are secreted and tissue in the vaginal area becomes enlarged. For many women, occasional failure to become aroused is perfectly normal. If this failure occurs frequently and causes problems in relationships, it can be diagnosed as female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD). In FSAD, the body does not prepare for intercourse."
