The Male and Female Orgasm

     We participated in an activity today where we read a description that someone had made about the human orgasm and we had had to try to decipher whether it was said by a male or a female. While filling out the short worksheet, there were a few that I thought I got right, but for the most part it seemed that all the descriptions could come from a male or a female. I ended up answering five of the eleven correctly, but to be honest I am quite sure that was due to the 50/50 chance I had to get any one of them right. I find it very interesting that the descriptions from males and females are so similar, what with the different anatomy and cycles. It made me slightly question my personal ideas about sex and gender. I have always viewed men and women’s sexual experiences as two very different things. This probably stems from my original sex education, back in grade school when my class was split into girls and boys to learn about sex. The reality is that both sexes experience sex nearly the same way, and I wonder if education should be adjusted accordingly.
