It is chased, engineered, optimised, timed. Bodies are worked harder. Breath is pushed. Attention narrows. Expectations rise. And paradoxically, for many people, the more effort that is applied, the further orgasmic experience seems to slip away. And yes, for others, that same effort can still produce an orgasm.
