Are relationships possible without sexual satiation between partners? Sure. Are ALL relationships happy without it? I doubt it seriously.
How far do men go to insure their quality of life in the way of sexual activity?
You gotta be kiddin' me, right?
Erectile Dysfunction (click at entry to title)
...Erectile dysfunction, or ED, can be a total inability to achieve erection, an inconsistent ability to do so, or a tendency to sustain only brief erections. These variations make defining ED and estimating its incidence difficult. Estimates range from 15 million to 30 million, depending on the definition used. According to the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS), for every 1,000 men in the United States, 7.7 physician office visits were made for ED in 1985. By 1999, that rate had nearly tripled to 22.3. The increase happened gradually, presumably as treatments such as vacuum devices and injectable drugs became more widely available and discussing erectile function became accepted. Perhaps the most publicized advance was the introduction of the oral drug sildenafil citrate (Viagra) in March 1998. NAMCS data on new drugs show an estimated 2.6 million mentions of Viagra at physician office visits in 1999, and one-third of those mentions occurred during visits for a diagnosis other than ED....
Freud once said, women would have to be content with a vaginal orgasm. He didn't fathom any way of enticing women to satiation. It was generational. It was due to the 'fear' of multiple and oppressing repeated pregnancies. It was a darn shame.
I was once handed an article entitled, "Orgasms Made Easy." Not certain of the date, but, I believed it appeared May of 2006. Where was this article taken from? Penthouse (click here). Page 97. Evidently, men want women partners that are engaged, willing and happy. Sexually happy. Not necessarily enthralled with a burgeoning pregnancy so much as the frolic and the fun.
The article stated, "It takes me about 20 minutes--is that a long time?" (Her partner) I just shrugged. The truth is, every woman is different and there are many factors that affect the ability to reach the big O...sleep...feeling connected to their partner...stress."
Women need to understand their pleasure centers and act on them when 'the moment is right.' Viva la differance !
