Orgasm Inc.

This documentary was a lot different then I expected. I had absolutely no knowledge of anything relating to the sexual dysfunction of women, and to be perfectly honest I didn’t know it really existed. That sounds so terrible but it’s the truth and I think that speaks to the lack of attention and respect that this subject really deserves. Having to watch these women struggle with not being able to orgasm and attempting to correct this by taking such drastic measures was insane. One woman opted to have a surgery that placed a metal chord in her spine that was supposed to vibrate in order to cause sexual stimulation. Seeing this made me realize how easy it is to be a man sometimes. While both sexes can experience sexual dysfunction its pretty evident for males when this occurs. Since women don’t possess this particular type of anatomy they are often left confused as to what’s actually wrong. This then causes women to blame themselves and feel as though they’re broken or dysfunctional. I just think a more conscious effort towards helping women with sexual dysfunction so they know that just like men that its okay and can be treated. Overall this documentary connected with me on a level that I wasn’t expecting when we first turned it on.
