MANALASTAS 89 Mga Kwent-O ng Sarap: Exploring Orgasms as Sexual Pleasure in an Undergraduate Human Sexuality Course Eric Julian Manalastas University of the Philippines - Diliman Abstract One of the most concrete instances of pleasure is orgasm – the intense subjective experience of sexual pleasure brought about by masturbation, sexual inter- course, and other forms of erotic behav- ior. To explore this, 47 Filipino students in an undergraduate human sexuality course conducted orgasm interviews – face to face conversations with 87 women and 101 men about their irst and most recent experiences of orgasm. This chapter discusses the process, outcomes, chal- lenges, and potentials of orgasm inter- views as a learning tool for exploring and analyzing Filipino sexual pleasure that can be used in courses in gender, sexual- ity, and psychology. The psychological and political value of creating open dis- cursive spaces about sexuality and sexual pleasure is emphasized, particularly in the context of Filipino sexual culture.
