In the culture of patriarchy PIV (penis in vagina) is considered sex for pleasure. It is not surprising: men who enjoy PIV have decided that this method will be sex for pleasure. PIV is completely focused on men since it starts with an erection and ends with an ejaculation. PIV has nothing to do with female pleasure or safety.

PIV could not have evolved as sex for pleasure. Firstly, PIV exposes a woman to the risk of pregnancy and, secondly, to the risk of sexually transmitted diseases. Sex for pleasure cannot be something dangerous; if the path to an orgasm led through threats to health and life, then women's survival rates would plummet. Women have a clitoris, which is located outside, and women can have sex without facing any threats.

Under patriarchy, women are more at risk of sexually transmitted diseases because PIV is virtually equated to sex, and women are constrained to engage in it. Penises destroy the natural protective environment of the vagina and make it vulnerable to any infection that the penis can introduce. And if we also consider the issue of male intimate hygiene, then the situation becomes more and more absurd since few men wash their genitals at least several times a day.

PIV can lead to unfortunate consequences for any woman at any time. For example, an ovarian follicular cyst develops asymptomatically. Many women do not even know that they have a cyst. In most cases, the cyst goes away within several menstrual cycles. However, if you have PIV sex, the cyst may burst, and its fluid will enter the abdominal cavity. In this case, the woman will need urgent resuscitation and surgical intervention. Also, there may be problems in the case of fistula development. During the first stages of a fistula's occurrence, a woman may not notice any symptoms, and PIV can lead to disastrous consequences.

It is necessary to separate sex for pleasure and PIV. Under patriarchy, sex or PIV is a ritual humiliation of a woman by a man, an establishment of power. The oppression of women cannot be rooted in human biology. This idea sounds absurd: allegedly, straight women cannot have sex without being oppressed. Heterosexual women should not abstain from sex to avoid humiliation. Heterosexual women need to give up PIV, not sex. PIV brings pleasure only to men as it is a patriarchal practice of humiliating a woman, impregnating and forcibly domesticating her.



Yes, there is a small percentage of women who may enjoy PIV, but this does not change the picture at all. For the absolute majority of women, PIV brings "pleasure" only in the following forms: constant fear of pregnancy, simulation of an orgasm, taking contraceptives that are harmful to health, and stimulation of the clitoris after a man has ejaculated. And this is if we do not start talking about the consequences of an unplanned pregnancy, abortions, and sexually transmitted diseases.

Regretfully, we must admit that under the conditions of patriarchy, not all women can refrain from sexual relationships with men. However, it is within the power of many women to refuse PIV. If you experience the need to have sexual intercourse with a man, you can receive pleasure with the help of a man's fingers, lips, and tongue. PIV is not necessary even for pregnancy; it is not a reproductive form of sex and cannot be obligatory for a woman. If PIV is pleasurable only for men, then why don't they practice it with each other, replacing the vagina with the anus?

Male sexuality is dull when compared to female sexuality. If a man cannot enjoy sex without ejaculation, then only reproductive sex can exist for him. Unlike women, who have a clitoris specially created by nature for the sake of female pleasure, it is not connected with the reproductive aspect in any way. A woman can have multiple orgasms, which a man is deprived of from birth. Only the clitoris can bring intense pleasure to the whole body since the clitoris is much more sensitive than the mutated clitoris - penis.

In conclusion, it is necessary to separate sex from PIV. The latter is extremely dangerous and undesirable for women, and besides, it is also useless. PIV is focused only on men, invented by men and elevated by them to an absolute. It is not sex or even hetero-sex that humiliates women, but PIV. In other words, PIV is a ritual for a man to gain power by suppressing a woman. The sexual nature of a man is poor; a man is not just not needed by a woman for pleasure - he is an obstacle to it.
