Orgasm
A signal describing how important orgasm is to someone’s sense of sexual satisfaction, completion, and reward.
What This Really Means
For some people orgasm is central; for others it’s optional or variable.
Over-focusing on orgasm can increase performance pressure, while under-valuing it can ignore legitimate needs.
Reporting should emphasize consent, pleasure diversity, and communication, and avoid making orgasm a “scorecard.”
Examples
Sex feels incomplete without orgasm
Satisfaction comes from closeness even without orgasm
A couple reduces pressure by widening pleasure goals while still honoring orgasm needs.
