Orgasm Inc. Page #4

Yay!

I get up at 6:
30 evey morning

and I work until 9:OO evey night

all for the bettering of

Female Sexual Dysfunction.

We gotta go.

It's time.

It's show time.

At the last minute

a senior executive

banned my camera

from the meeting.

I managed to attend anyway

and discovered that Alista

was not doing nearly

as well as they'd hoped.

It was interesting what

we found in this study

was that even when you

gave patients placebo,

when you showed

them visual stimulation

So you basically discovered

women like porn.

Yeah, so, so porn works.

Porn works.

It's not, you know, the panacea

for solving all your sexual troubles

but it does elicit

sexual responses.

Despite the high success rate

with the placebo

and the plain fact

that porn works,

Vivus decided to continue

their clinical trials of Alista.

You can ask questions

of patients

that are vey simple questions

on the surface of things,

but small changes in

how you ask a question,

can lead to sometimes

vey significant changes

in the answers that

you get to a question.

It's just that improvement is

different than enhancement.

And, and there is

a little difference.

We knew there might be

some sort of a small difference

but that looks like

a big difference.

The data never lies.

Back in North Carolina,

Dr. Meloy was wrapping up

the clinical trial

of the Orgasmatron.

I'm waiting for my second visit

with Dr. Meloy.

It's not working

for me vey well

and if you want

to come closer,

I'll demonstrate for you.

It's working in

this leg watch.

I said I'm not much good unless

you like to be kicked in the behind.

I had a feeling they were

going to take it out today.

Were you able

to get close?

Uh-uh.

Not even.

And I tried evey position

you can imagine on that.

I'm disappointed.

In your clinical trial

how many women

did the Orgasmatron

work on?

We've, ah, succeeded

in stimulating eight out of nine,

but we've not been able to

maintain the electrode in but six,

and of those six

it's worked in four.

We're able to stimulate 91 O/o

of the women, 1 O out of 11.

But at this point

I just give up.

I mean it's okay.

I accept myself

the way I am.

There are lots of ways

to achieve orgasm

other than just to have

sexual intercourse.

And...

Can I just ask

you a question?

Can you achieve orgasm

through other means?

Yes, I can.

Yes, I can.

So I'm not

without orgasms.

I can have orgasms but it's

just not the normal situation

where two people

get together

and they have sexual intercourse

and each has an orgasm.

And that's what I say,

maybe that's not real.

Maybe that's just what

the movies tell us is real.

Exactly.

Most women would

not have orgasms

from the kind of sex

you see in the movies.

Seventy percent

of us need

direct clitoral stimulation

in order to climax.

So that's what

you were hoping,

that this device would allow you

to have orgasms during sex?

Yes, during sexual

intercourse,

and just, again, in what

I think is a normal way.

But you have absolutely

washed that out of my mind.

I no longer know

what's normal.

So that's wonderful because

that's a brand new start.

Charletta was enrolled

in a clinical trial

for women with FSD despite

the fact that she was healthy.

To heck with that

disease stuff.

How many women risk

being taken advantage of

because of a lack of

comprehensive sex education?

What about sex education

in America?

Seems to me there's an

interesting double standard there.

Vey soon we'll see

some sort of orgasm pill

or orgasm nasal spray

and we're teaching people

abstinence only

in our schools.

Did any of you get abstinence

only sex ed training?

You did.

Well, it was... the woman

who was teaching the class

first of all divided the guys

up in one room

and the girls

in the other.

She was about 80 years old,

vey, vey traditional and was like,

"Sex is bad so don't have it

until you're married".

Our health teacher evey time

she told us about

another form of contraception

or STD prevention,

she would just say,

"Well, you don't need to know this

because you're not having

sex till you're married,

and then when

you are married

you're not allowed to

use birth control anyway.

Because if you

use contraception

while you're married,

you'll go to hell. "

Do you think that

affected you at all?

Oh no,

not at all.

I...

I was going to college

and my godfather

had a talk with me

saying, you know,

"Wait until you finish college,

after college,

then go ahead

and have sex. "

But my same godfather had

a conversation with my brother

and said, "Have as much sex

as you can possibly in college. "

So what would you

all say has been

your primay source for sex

education or information?

Peers.

Peers.

Peers?

So your peers have

shaped you the most

and given you the most

information?

Yeah.

Women come into Good Vibrations,

now, not just young women,

older women, women

the age of their mothers,

women the age of

their grandmothers,

and they're not sure

where their clitoris is.

How are those women,

who can't find the parts of their body

that might help them

feel the best,

supposed to

function sexually?

Is a drug going

to help them?

Maybe if has a map of

the clitoris on the box.

I hope nobody

steals my idea.

I'm Dr. Carol Queen,

and I'm the curator of the vibrators.

One of the reason I love

these antique vibrators

is because my first vibrator

was an antique vibrator,

a Stimulax Junior,

vey much like this one.

And I read in a women's magazine

in about 1973 about vibrators,

and thought,

isn't that what

my parents have

in the hall closet?

I ran down.

I dug it out and then I snuck it

back up to my room.

I turned it on.

It was my vey

first orgasm.

After that I was not going

to put the thing back

and sory to say

that my parents

never asked me

for it back.

So clearly, I was getting a lot more

out of it than they ever did.

The reason we have

vibrators today

is because over

a hundred years ago,

in the late 19th centuy,

doctors were using vibrators

to treat a disease in women

called hysteria.

When a woman who

had hysterical symptoms

would go and see

her doctor,

and her doctor would

apply vibration,

and she would have a hysterical

paroysm of relief,

something that today

we would call an orgasm.

And by the end of

the 19th centuy,

some sources estimated

that three quarters

of women suffered

from hysteria.

Those of them who

could afford to do so

went to their doctors

on a weekly,

sometimes more

frequent basis,

and it was

a big business.

We no longer call hysteria

a disease at all

and what it probably was

was a combination of stress,

and women's hard work

plus sexual deprivation

and inability to get all the way

through sexual response cycle.

In a lot of ways,

female sexual dysfunction

is the hysteria

of this centuy.

It's a new way of putting a lens

on women's sexual experience

from a distinctly
