    in most straight relationships I’m familiar with

    So because it doesn’t happen to you, it doesn’t happen to anyone. Ok.

    It’s probably a little bit rarer than the other way around, but male anorgasmia exists especially as men get older.

    But as usual, male feelings and sexual problems are ridiculed and swept under the rug as unimportant.

      That is emphatically not what I said.

      I was just sharing my experience since it informed the way I interpreted the joke. I think it makes sense for her to talk about using a vibrator with partners since that’s probably something she has experienced.

      Casting this joke as ‘male feelings being ridiculed’ is so strange. She’s talking about her own feelings, making light of the expectations her partners have set.

      It’s not bigoted or mean spirited. The joke is fine.
