I feel that the documentary "Orgasm Inc." can be related to many of the topics we have already disscussed in class. One related topic is the unrealistic depictions in the media. Movies and tv shows create new "norms" for sex, overexagerating and glamorizing it to the point that people have high, unrealistic standards for their own experiences. When their experiences do not always fit these impossible standards, they feel there is something wrong with them and they must purchase something fix them.
"Orgasm Inc." also touches on the topic of the overmedication of the female body. Much like "The Buissness of Being Born", normal female body functions are being depicted as medical problems that therefore need medical solutions. By labeling Female Sexual Disfunction as a disease, women feel that they need medical intervention when really their issues can be solved through other means.
