I've seen various women on the Internet (mostly the manosphere/redpill blogs/here on PPD) say that orgasms aren't a requirement for them to classify sex as "good", and that they are perfectly capable of being sexually satisfied without having them. Likewise, I've seen men who say they bang women all the time without bothering to help them orgasm, or refuse do the things she says will make her orgasm because it "takes too long", and yet these women keep coming back for more. One tradcon guy I've spoken to on many occasions even said that giving women orgasms is "the way to betahood".

So...

Q4Women: Are your orgasms important for good sex? Is it possible to have a great session of sex if you don't cum at all that time? Given that vasocongestion (blue clit) occurs in women as well as men (blue balls) how do you deal with the discomfort of persisting arousal when you don't orgasm?

Q4Men: Are your orgasms important for good sex? Is it possible to have a great session of sex if you don't cum at all that time? Have you ever had a female partner who did not care about whether she came or not?

Me, personally? I wouldn't have sex if I didn't know for a fact I'd be having at least one orgasm. Sex isn't just about the orgasm, but it's a very big part of it and I wouldn't consider it good or even mediocre sex if both of us didn't cum. Plus, it hurts when you don't, so even more reason to make sure it happens.
