Should you happen to be male, then hearty congrats for achieving that understanding – it’s something most women would long to tell their partners but find difficult. (I have a suggestion – see below).

Sex isn’t just about orgasms. It’s about closeness, and being able to say things that you can’t say in any other way, and – hopefully – covering the whole range of each person’s emotions. And while a woman might not achieve an orgasm through intercourse (and if the man tries to stimulate the clitoris during intercourse it all becomes very awkward and sometimes painful) the sense of one’s man achieving fulfilment is wonderful and all part of a good sexual relationship.

It’s sad when sex gets reduced to mechanics. A good sexual relationship is sexual at some level all the time, with intercourse (or other episodes of mutual playfulness) like the pearls on a string … but the string is continuous and, if you’ve chosen properly and can talk to each other, a source of continuous delight and mutual support.

First of all, if you are doing missionary right, you can have clitoral stimulation so that statement isn’t exactly true. It might not be direct and specific stimulation from the penis but there is contact with the male body and the female clitoris. Also, the penis is hitting the g-spot internally. (sometimes)

Second of all, women can have orgasms that aren’t related to the clitoris.

So, in answering your question women can have orgasms all different ways and multiple types of orgasms based on the level of stimulation and the focus of the stimulation internally and externally.
Women have sex because it feels good just like a guy does.

But, since you asked, I’ll throw in my two cents worth with the caveat that generalizations are dangerous things.

1. There is a deep seat drive in women to have vaginal sex because it is needed for pregnancy. Even if the woman isn’t trying to get pregnant, the drives are still there.
2. It makes her partner happy.
3. She gets lots of foreplay (hopefully!) before having vaginal sex.
4. She gets lots of emotional validation during love making.
5. Its fun and something that they can do together.
6. She gets lots of attention and is treated better than she would be otherwise.
7. She can train her partner to give her clitoral stimulation as part of foreplay.
8. The G spot is stimulated.

Those are my guesses.

Of course, there is a question as whether the clitoris serves any useful purpose, since many women are non-orgasmic no matter what. Wikipedia says:

Biological Reason Researchers seem to be split into two camps on the biological reason for the clitoris: Some say that it is the same as in males, and that sexual pleasure encourages more reproduction. Others believe that because not all females are able to experience orgasm, and a significant amount cannot experience it through normal intercourse, that the clitoris is a vestigial organ in females, left over from the penis in development much like nipples are for men.

Where do I begin? First of all the clitoris is stimulated during sexual intercouse. One thing to remember is that the clitoris is a much larger organ inside the body than outside it. It is analagous to the penis and roughly the same size. It also engorges with stimulation in roughly the same way. The motion of sex pulls on the labia and stimulates the clitoris. Beyond that, the pressure of the man’s body pounding against the woman’s vulva stimulates the clitoris. The pressure and vibration of sex is very stimulating to the entire clitoral structure. This is one of the reasons that some women find spanking sexually stimulating. Also, the need to stimulate the clitoris is one of the reasons for changing positions. Some positions provide more clitoral stimulation than others. I suggest you let your wife get on top and see how she moves to provide herself with more stimulation.

Women also want sexual intercourse because beyond the clitoris women have a G-spot for sexual stimulation. It’s a nerve cluster located inside the vagina, behind the pelvic bone on the anterior wall. Nothing stimulates the G-spot better than a penis and some vigorous intercourse. Again, changing positions will allow for greater stimulation. I think any man should assure his woman of an orgasm with foreplay with mouth and fingers before he thinks of inserting his penis and achieving his own pleasure. If she has already had a clitoral orgasm she will get much more from intercourse and having her G-spot stimulated.

In my experience, clitoral stimulation equals one orgasm and G-spot stimulation equals multiple orgasms that go on and on. Both are good!

Also, when a woman climaxes it is intensified if the pelvic muscles has something to contract around. The girth of man’s penis is perfect for this.

Remember this though, for women sex is physical and emotional. Women want sex because it makes them feel connected to their partner. Women are emotionally moved by sex in a way that I don’t think men are. It makes us feel loved and wanted. We take our pleasure from our partner’s nearness as much as the orgasms he can provide. While I’ve been lucky in my life with the physical side of sexual pleasure I’ve also had entirely satisfying sexual experiences that did not result in my having an orgasm.

Answer by female
It feels good and provides orgasm. The clitoris is not the only place that a woman can be stimulated to achieve orgasm. I know that if my G spot is properly stimulated I can reach an orgasm far faster than when my clitoris is stimulated. And my G spot can only be stimulated by penetration. However, when my clitoris is stimulated, the experience of orgasm is different, although equally enjoyable. And if I have a cooperative partner (like my husband of the past many years) I can get both at the same time or at different times. That’s why women want sex. Plus it’s a great way to feel close to your partner. I love my guy. It doesn’t always have to be about orgasm. But it stimulates the heebeejeebees out of me to have sex with him.
