In looking at the history of the female sexuality, the whole idea that a vaginal orgasm is superior to a clitoral one stems back to good ol' Sigmund Freud who decided that clitoral orgasms were "infantile." Of course the interesting thing is that for most women, it is easier to have a clitoral orgasm than a vaginal one. And since men of the day did not try (and in some cases didn't even know) to encourage a woman's sexual pleasure, we had generations of sexually frustrated women. Just one more way our patriarchal society tried to control women. Interestingly enough, the prescribed treatment for hysteria (a commonly diagnosed women's psychological disorder) was for the doctor to use a vibrator type device on her. No wonder women got a reputation of running to the doctor all the time!
An excellent movie to see regarding misguided sexual beliefs is "Kinsey". It's very interesting, albeit quite sad.
I'm just still confused as to why so many conservatives have been, or are now, so concerned about womens' sexuality throughout history and around the world.
I am honestly bending to the idea that many men cannot grasp the concept that if women are sexual they won't imitate men in regards to adultery. Although, now it appears that adultery is pretty evenly split between the sexes historically it was definitely a man's arena.
Speaking of sex (I find that it can be a zesty enterprise) and movies with sexual content, have you seen The Big Lebowski yet? If not perhaps the following dialogue will entice you, although it's much funnier in the actual flick.
Maude Lebowski: Does the female form make you uncomfortable, Mr. Lebowski?
The Dude: Uh, is that what this is a picture of?
Maude Lebowski: In a sense, yes. My art has been commended as being strongly vaginal which bothers some men. The word itself makes some men uncomfortable. Vagina.
The Dude: Oh yeah?
Maude Lebowski: Yes, they don't like hearing it and find it difficult to say whereas without batting an eye a man will refer to his dick or his rod or his Johnson.
The Dude: Johnson?
Maude Lebowski: Do you like sex, Mr. Lebowski?
The Dude: 'Scuse me?
Maude Lebowski: Sex. The physical act of love. Coitus. Do you like it?
The Dude: I was talking about my rug.
Maude Lebowski: You're not interested in sex?
The Dude: You mean coitus?
Maude Lebowski: Uli Kunkol? Her co-star in the beaver picture?
The Dude: Beaver? Uhhhh, you mean vagina...? I mean, you know the guy?
Nihilist: We believe in nothing, Lebowski. Nothing. And tomorrow we come back and we cut off your chonson.
The Dude: Excuse me?
Nihilist: I said
[shouting]
Nihilist: We'll cut off your johnson!
Nihilist #2: Just think about that, Lebowski.
Nihilist: Yeah, your wiggly penis, Lebowski.
Nihilist #3: Yeah and maybe we stomp on it and squoosh it, Lebowski.
I think Maude is right, most men do seem to have a hard time saying vagina.
Ok, I'll watch the damn film since it's on Netflix instant play! It better be awesome and totally filled with feminist undertones. If it isn't I'm sure I'll still find some. 
I think that one of the reasons we are seeing a more even split on the adultery dept. is women can actually have sex without getting pregnant. Personally, if one's spouse (or significant other) isn't the one anymore, do the decent thing and either get some help or end it before you go looking elswhere.
That was always the great underlying problem with birth control for the religious people and the sexists, wasn't it?
I think we are seeing more and more people stuck in undesirable marriages because they simply cannot afford to split up.
Roll in the internet where you get to know people from all different walks of life and you lose the old standard where couples were basically restricted to being raised, living and accepting the small communities they were born into. Now, you have spouses who can compare other marriages to theirs without talking to a neighbor and worrying about it becoming a scandalous rumor.
Very true. As for the staying together due to money (or lack of). I have two families I work with right now in that predicament. It is absolutely hell on the kids, even with the parents trying to be civil. Kids have emotional radar when it comes to the family and they know Mom and Dad don't love each other anymore.
