Who to blame?
In the movie Orgasm we watched last class it seemed that the pharmaceutical companies were trying to put all the blame of sexual "dysfunction" on women. They only touched on the subject of sex being a unique experience for everyone. It takes two people to have it and if they are not on the same page non-equal pleasure will occur. Maybe its because women have been seen as below men but I find it hard to believe that no one even interviewed the males in the females lives in the movie, especially the woman who got the spinal surgery. Wouldn't her husband having something to say about it, or maybe he was too embarrassed to be interviewed? Either way I feel like as a society we still have the feeling that men can do no wrong. If a woman is having problems getting pleasured then it must be her fault not the man's. The companies, also the world, seems to always want to find a simple and quick fix to all their problems. When in reality anything worth it takes time. As the woman said at the end of the movie "I'm normal!" She realized that not having everything be perfect, like what she sees in the movies, is normal. More people need to see life like that and stop thinking that drugs will help every little problem. Because usually if a drug can fix one problem then the side effects create ten more.
