I think everyone has had interesting and valid points. I've been wondering though, do you think there is a connection with the ability to or ease of orgasm and the weight of priority a woman places on sex?

The stats say (I don't know how accurate these are) that only 30% of woman can orgasm during sex, and that another 30% have never orgasmed at all. Logically (to me anyway) that women who fall into these categories would not see sex in the same light as a woman who does usually orgasm. Also, as most men rarely don't orgasm during sex is this why it's normally seen as more important by them? The energy required is worth the payoff, and so they find the energy. Sure, sex can be pleasurable without orgasm but it's a different kind of pleasure iykwim.

I know personally, that the reason why sex is most probably so important to me is because I rarely don't orgasm and I usually get to ride that train more than once (sorry, I know TMI), however, if that wasn't the case I'm fairly confident I would have a different view on the importance of sex in the relationship. If orgasm was hard work, or non-existant my ability to "get in the mood" would be directly affected in kind.

Thoughts?
Not really sure, it's an interesting theory. BUT I can honestly say, I have never had an issue on that front, so it is definitely not the reason I go through periods of not wanting sex. My reasons are more likely to be phyisical pain, complete exhaustion, wanting my body to myself (big one when I have a small baby and am breastfeeding all the time) or I am angry at DH about something.
