Why do women, then, not orgasm every time? And why is orgasm reachable
on a far more reliable basis by masturbation, oral sex, direct
stimulation rather than by male penetration and ejaculation? Seems that if
the orgasm was the attractive bit, them women would spend far more time
masturbating and engaging in other sexual practices rather than straight
intercourse.
