OrpheusAgonistes -> RE: How important is your partners’ orgasm? (5/16/2010 11:55:16 AM)

Let me preface this by saying that, generally, I find it very nearly unbearably frustrating not to have an orgasm. I want pleasure, and I hate not getting what I want. That said, it's still more important to me (in any relationship) that my partner have an orgasm than it is that I have one. This is true for three reasons (things are always true, for recovering philosophy students, for three reasons): 1) I have an enormous ego and it's more important to me to be a good lover than it is to have an orgasm myself. Years later, when the woman is sitting in a cafe with her new boyfriend, comparing him unfavorably to me, she won't be thinking "I miss Orpheus Agonistes--that selfish son of a bitch came every time," she will be thinking "I miss Orpheus Agonistes. Though he was a selfish son of a bitch, he also made me come pretty much every time." 2) I get pleasure from giving pleasure to people I care about. This is why I sometimes go over the top on gifts/dinners/etc. I just really like seeing good people happy. Good people are seldom happier than when having an orgasm. 3) I feel a kind of sense of grim Calvinist duty to give orgasms to the less fortunate. That's why, if nothing else is effective, I'm perfectly prepared to just dig in and really go at it with a bleak, Protestant work ethic and a dogged conviction that, being favored by God, the ability to provide an orgasm (and prosper in mercantilism, produce a bountiful barley crop, steer a whaling boat through the summer storms) is a predetermined inevitability. The third point may have been spurious. Only my analyst and I know for certain.
