    I clearly remember talk in the early 70's about the female orgasm, almost as if it was like discovering a mythological beast was actually real. I'm no expert on what Freud thought, but I believe it was his opinion (widely shared at that time) that a woman's orgasm was not a real 'thing'. So in that sense it probably was seen as 'unnecessary'.

    These days, it's pretty well established that clitoral orgasms do exist (except in brutal, misogynistic societies in certain parts of the world). So for the most part, the tide of opinion has turned against Freud. I suppose one could argue that orgasms in general (for both sexes) are 'unnecessary' except as an inducement to procreate.

    Freud was a male. And he was not chaste. What did he know.

    IMHO Freud was a very disturbed individual and rather ignorant of women generally and their needs

    I'm thinking I won't get a lot of argument on that.. that can be backed up.

    Freud often claimed that he had little understanding of women

    I do enjoy thought provoking threads.

    By and large yes, but not entirely. Most porn, for example, is heavily predicated on the male orgasm. The female is mostly just there to facilitate that. The same thing is probably true of most mainstream film or literary portrayals of women. Those characters tend to be less rounded than the males, and their needs less well articulated. That naturally extends to their sexual needs.

    Much of Freud's work is pretty unfashionable these days, and for good reason. It was a product of its time.

    Sadly, the times move only slowly. There is a long way to go yet.

    It’s funny how different cultures throughout history have had radically different views or understandings on female sexuality. Some ancient eastern cultures viewed male orgasms as unhealthy and dangerous, but promoted frequent orgasms for women. Then there is the opposite end of the spectrum, like Victorian era western culture, where it was nearly denied completely that women even could orgasm, and they certainly were not encouraged to do so.

    My own views, after experiencing several years of marriage during which I orgasmed as often as I wished while my wife never did, and having experienced a few years where I have had very few while my wife orgasmed freely, are that men should not be allowed to orgasm very often and women benefit from frequent orgasms. The male orgasm seems to be detrimental in every way except procreation.

    Good Lord, the clitoral orgasm as unnecessary ? Don't tell my Wife that. I'm sure She'd have plenty to say.

    I believe we have indeed evolved past these male concocted theories...….the more timely question today is whether "penile" orgasms are necessary or whether prostate stimulation provides a healthier release when and if needed.

    One thing often overlooked about Freud and his views on women and their having a female orgasm.

    Being a male he could never experience a female orgasm.

    His views on that were as meaningless than those arrogant inconsiderate nuts that think they are entitled to voice negative opinions about abortion.

    Though I doubt he had the imagination to realise what he was missing out on.

    Unnecessary? I suppose as unnecessary as enjoying the beauty of nature, a fine meal, a work of great art, or anything the senses may provide. I suppose as unnecessary as life itself. Or unnecessary as Freud's opinions anyway :p Buh bye unnecessary patriarchy and good riddance.
