Everybody wants to have an orgasm while having sex. But what really is an orgasm anyway? Well, according to Webster’s dictionary, it’s either of these following definitions:
1.The highest point of sexual excitement, characterized by strong feelings of pleasure and marked normally by ejaculation of semen by the male and by vaginal contractions in the female. Also called climax.
2.A similar point of intensity of emotional excitement.
Let’s Figure it Out...So what exactly does one get from these definitions? Does it mean that an orgasm is a purely physical response? That it’s an emotional high? Or that it’s a climax, which intertwines both of these things? Millions of doctors, researchers, and lay-people have tried to come up with an answer to this question, but no single answer has been universally agreed upon.
The idea that sex is 99 percent mental has grown to be more accepted in the past few years. Sexually frustrated women are mainly to thank for this. As we all know, a woman’s orgasm isn’t as quantifiable as a man’s is. Some women have reported that they don’t even know when they have one, if they’ve ever had one. But the question seems to boil down to this: how does one measure a “sure-fire” orgasm? This problem has caused sex researchers to look to the mind for answers.
Persons with disabilities can attest to the idea that sex is a purely mental experience. Spinal cord injured individuals and others with limited sensation have been forced to look to their brains for sexual pleasure since their genitals no longer provide enough satisfaction.

For the "women" who claim they do not know if they have had an orgasm or what it feels like... Dump the "man" and date a women. I am gay and have NEVER heard of a female or male friend with an orgasm issue. Give it up STRAIGHT girls -- and second of all, buy a vibrator and do not forget to plug it in! You do not need a companion to get off. This is the 21st century.

Ok, I GET IT! Mental orgasms, tantric sex...I'm a Man w/SCI; my injury pretty much ended my marriage, so I'm also NOT IN LOVE; have not had any intimate contact w/a Woman in 7yrs. I can't masturbate either. Sure, the same things turn me on--IN MY MIND--but that doesn't transmit to the rest of my body. I want TO FEEL THE PHYSICAL RELEASE that one experiences during an orgasm. THAT is what I used to enjoy; that is what helped me to pysically, as well as mentally, relax.
I'm not at all interested in 'being in love' anymore. Does that mean I won't be able to have a satisfying sexual experience?
