What does orgasm mean to you?

Sarah Francis wrote in with a request for responses to the question “What does orgasm mean to you?” Sounds like an interesting project! To respond, email her at s.francis@2005.hull.ac.uk:
I’m studying the way female sexuality is represented in art for my long study at university. As it’s a Digital Art degree I’m also creating an installation of my own artwork about real female sexuality.
I’m looking for responses from women to the following question…
“What does orgasm mean to you?”
Responses need to be short - around 20 words. They can be about the physical, emotional, spiritual etc meanings.
The statements will be used as part of a massive mural which will be on display to the public and students at the University of Hull.
They won’t be attibuted to individuals. It would help loads if people could include with their responses how the would like to be known - i.e. “16 year old girl” “Female priest” “19 year old cat-lover” etc so that they’re not just comments, there’s a hint of a story behind them.
The reason I’m asking for help is because it would be so much more powerful if the responses came from all over the country, from many women, rather than just the women I know.
I really hope you can help with this. Feel free to pass on my email address! Subtext magazine have expressed interest in publishing my research and findings so it’s definitely a worthy thing!

Unobtainable - so far.
A goal that at times excites me with its promise, and at others depresses me by being seemingly not be 'for' me.
An aspiration.
The key to fullfillment.
A myth?

Hi..I am 56 and have been married 40 years. My husband is the love of my life but I have never had an orgasm when we
had intercourse. My first "cum" was when I was 36 and I did it myself watch
ing a lesbian porno. My clit is the key but it has to be touched right. I have taught my husband to lick me in the
right place and it is great but I still get
off better by myself
