By I am sure we all agree we mean the convulsive, rhythmic contractions of the pelvic musculature commonly accompanied by the highest peak of pleasurable feeling as a climax to sexual stimulation. This usually results from petting, caressing, and manual or penile stimulation of the vulva, clitoris, and vagina. Orgasm can certainly be induced by manual stimulation, with no stimulation whatever. Dr. Albert Ellis (1953) is the staunch proponent of the proposition that a clitoral is all that is necessary and that the vaginal orgasm is a myth. As a physiological experience, the results are the same whether results from penile-vaginal intercourse or clitoral stimulation alone. Masters and Johnson (1966) have demonstrated this clearly enough. A prostitute built up a marked degree of pelvic congestion involving the labia, walls, uterus broad ligaments, tubes, and ovaries during a six-hour period of work. This congestion continued for six more hours, so long as nothing further was done. When allowed to reach by manual stimulation, within ten minutes the congestion of the pelvic organs had completely subsided. Love, affection, physical attraction are not necessary. Mere mechanical stimulation is ordinarily enough to bring about a clitoral orgasm. Where a young woman has never reached in intercourse with her husband, it is possible to bring it about with an electric vibrator in the impersonal atmosphere of a doctor's office. It is commonly a most educational experience. One young woman remarked, You mean to tell me that that is what a man feels every time he has intercourse? Another said, That gives me a whole new idea about going to bed. Another remarked, I'm certainly glad you did that. Now I know what I am looking for. It is a therapeutic, curative procedure. Once the nerve pathway leading to has been opened it can be developed to the point of occurring in intercourse. Does penile stimulation in the vagina contribute anything which might be considered significant? If so, how and why? It is conceivable
