In Search of the Elusive Orgasm responds

As an avid reader of romantic novels I have never thought that sex should be controlled by the man, or that women will be able to have orgasm every time they have intercourse.  The reason of course is that sex is now openly discussed.  Sex is advertise on TV, porn is easily access on the internet, cartoons like Family Guy and American Dad have vivid episodes hinting at sexually acts and behaviors.  Everywhere you look-sex, sex, sex.  What is it that makes our society so concern with sex?  Is it the economic perspective or it something deeper?  To many, sex is a pleasurable act and to others its a show of love.  It can be an emotional connection with another person-and isn't that what everyone wants?
