Introduction: The Big O - Demystifying Orgasm

For something that takes up such a small portion of our time, the orgasm occupies a disproportionately large part of our consciousness. From the first blush of adolescent curiosity to the pursuit of sexual satisfaction in adulthood, the experience of orgasm – often simply referred to as 'the big O' – is a topic that continues to both mystify and intrigue us.

In this book, we will embark on a fascinating exploration of the orgasm, from its representation in ancient literature to its study in modern science. You'll discover how cultures of the past perceived and contextualized orgasm, highlighting the roles and views of the Greeks, Romans, and people during the medieval era. The discussion will then progress into how sex and orgasm have been weaponized in certain societal contexts, causing a shift in power dynamics and influencing gender relations.

As we delve into the anatomical and physiological perspectives, you'll understand why the orgasm is not merely a physical act but a complex interplay of multiple systems in the body. The chapters that follow will separately discuss the male and female orgasms, unraveling the physiological journey to the peak of pleasure and exploring the so-called 'big O mystery.'

We will further address a critical issue in contemporary sexual relationships – the orgasm gap. This section aims to shed light on gender disparities in sexual pleasure and how sociocultural factors play a significant role in this dynamic.

Then we transition to an empowering section titled 'Unlocking Pleasure: The Art of Orgasm.' Here we'll explore techniques and tips for enhancing pleasure, discussing everything from self-discovery through masturbation to experimenting with positions, toys, and kinks.

The book will also emphasize the importance of communication and consent as keys to achieving mutual orgasm. A comprehensive discourse on overcoming orgasmic challenges such as anorgasmia and premature ejaculation will help you navigate the often rocky road to sexual satisfaction.

Finally, our appendices offer a glossary of related terms and a set of resources for further reading and support, to deepen your understanding of orgasm and sexual health.

Sexual pleasure and the pursuit of orgasm are integral components of human existence. This book seeks to expand your understanding of this universal human experience, fostering a healthy, informed relationship with your sexuality. Whether you are a curious beginner or a seasoned explorer in the realm of sexual pleasure, there's something to be learned, unlearned, and relearned in the following pages. Let the journey begin.

Orgasm in Ancient Literature - Unveiling Attitudes of the Greeks and Romans

Ancient societies viewed orgasm and sexual pleasure in ways that were often significantly different from our own. This chapter will delve into how orgasms were perceived and portrayed in ancient Greek and Roman literature.

3.1: Greece - Embracing the Pleasure

The ancient Greeks regarded orgasm, often achieved through masturbation, as a normal and healthy substitute for other forms of sexual pleasure. This perspective primarily comes from the surviving works of ancient Greek comedy and pottery. The plays of Aristophanes, a famous Greek playwright, frequently reference masturbation, providing us with a window into the ancient Greek views on the subject. Ancient Greek pottery, too, often depicts satyrs, half-human half-beast creatures in Greek mythology, engaging in the act of masturbation​¹​.

One of the most notable mentions of orgasm in ancient Greek literature is the tale of the philosopher Diogenes of Sinope. According to the Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers by Diogenes Laërtius, Diogenes of Sinope, a Cynic philosopher, often masturbated in public, which was considered scandalous. When people confronted him over this, he would retort, If only it were as easy to banish hunger by rubbing my belly. Diogenes, jokingly, credited the god Hermes with the invention of masturbation: Hermes allegedly took pity on his son Pan, who was pining for Echo but unable to seduce her, and taught him the trick of masturbation to relieve his suffering. Pan, in turn, taught the habit to young shepherds​¹​.

3.2: Rome - A Less Discussed Topic

While the Greeks embraced and openly discussed orgasm and masturbation, our sources for ancient Roman sexuality are less forthcoming. The poet Martial considered masturbation an inferior form of sexual release resorted to by slaves. Aulus Gellius, a Latin writer of the second century A.D., used a fragment from Empedocles to symbolically discourage men from excess in venery (or, excessive sexual indulgence). Nonetheless, masturbation, while infrequently mentioned, was a recurring theme in Latin satire, as seen in one of the
