If we look at the act in more detail, PIV is a man mounting on a woman to thrust a large member of himself into her most intimate parts, often forcing her to be entirely naked, banging himself against her with the whole weight of his body and hips, shaking her like he would stuff a corpse, then using her insides as a receptacle for his penile dejection.

It is in itself an extremely physically invasive act, very often painful, generally at the beginning before the pain may be cut off by the genital arousal; causes all sorts of tears, bruises, swelling, discomfort, STDs, vaginal infections, urinary infections, genital warts, HIV and death. Not to forget the additional sado-gynecological interventions/ costs of PIV-maintenance, and all the secondary physical mutiliation and financial costs that go with our duty to make ourselves look decorative for male sexual consumption – such as hair removal, make-up, starvation or forced feeding, torturous limb deforming or cutting up, etc.

There are safer and far more effective ways for women to have sex and to experience orgasm without the risk of pregnancy, but unfortunately (for men and for patriarchy) the non-reproductive sex acts that produce these orgasms do not prioritise the male orgasm (indeed, they do not involve the penis whatsoever), and therefore they do nothing to perpetuate the unequal sexual and social dynamics between men and women upon which patriarchal society is built.
