Why do women accept intercourse when it does so little for them? Women focus on rewards in the wider relationship including affectionate companionship, a subsidised lifestyle and support for family. But equally most women clearly never masturbate to orgasm and so they have no idea what arousal and orgasm feel like. They accept intercourse because it involves very little effort on their part . Women are almost unaware of the genital contact due to the total lack of sensitivity of the vagina.
