Sex Question of the Week: What is Great Sex?

The other day I was asked by a sex researcher to participate in a new research endeavor. The study is setting out to consider the question “what is great sex?” In talking about why she was embarking on this research, she explained that almost all of the writing on sex therapy, and most of the research on human sexuality in general, is focused on either dysfunction or treatment. This makes some sense. We have sex problems, we rely on “experts” to study them and hopefully come up with ways to deal with these problems. It’s a medical model that for better or worse, we’re comfortable with.

But what does is say when most of the so called experts are focusing solely on what makes sex bad not what makes it good, or great?
