The Importance of Pleasure Over Orgasm

Focusing on achieving orgasm can hinder the overall sexual experience, as pleasure should be the primary goal instead. The cultural emphasis on orgasm often causes anxiety that negatively impacts the ability to feel pleasure and the likelihood of achieving orgasm. Understanding the autonomic nervous system is crucial for enhancing orgasm; a relaxed parasympathetic state is necessary for full arousal. Techniques like Sensate Focus promote awareness of bodily sensations, allowing individuals to enjoy intimate moments without the pressure of reaching orgasm.
