Follow up on the meaning of orgasm

Subsequent to yesterday's post about Beautiful Agony and the questions the project raises about how young women apparently experience sexuality, I saw this review of two recent books on the 'pornofication' of society and how it got mixed up with feminism. (Pornified by Pamela Paul and Femal Chauvinist Pigs by Ariel Levy) I will not argue that pornofication is our contemporary version of Roman decadence, but at the very least we have to be aware that something gets lost: the idea that intimacy comes together with privacy and that sex comes together with love.
