Can we just, like, everyone add him to our Ignore lists? Maybe then he'll go away.
Yes, it is. That is, unfortunately, how sex works: women need a lot more foreplay before they are aroused enough for intercourse. Why is this true? Nobody knows; it was God's idea. You'll have to ask Him.
That depends on the man. There are tales of men who have become multi-orgasmic. As to enjoying my orgasm, I personally have no problem with this; the real problem for me is endurance, that the point of enjoying-my-orgasm comes rather too quickly. I'm sure others have the opposite plight. If you asked this question of ten men on the street, you would probably get ten different answers.
And, again, that depends on the woman. And the man. I am a virgin so my practical experience is severely limited, but my understanding of a working sexual relationship is that it is all about giving--that sex, when undertaken properly, has absolutely nothing to do with your own pleasure and everything to do with your partner's. What this means is that you should talk to your partners about their attitudes if they seem selfish... And that you, for your part, should take the high road and turn the other cheek. If you give more than you receive in your sex life, you should smile and nod, because that is how sex works.
A psychologist once ran a simple experiment. He took 100 married couples and divided them into rooms by gender. He asked the men, "How much of the work do you do in your marriage," and they all said, "About 75%." Then he went to the women and asked them, "How much of the work do you do in your marriage," and they all said, "About 75%." They were both right. And I can't imagine sex is any different.
Besides, she thinks she's giving more than she receives too. It's true: women do initiate less, they do require more foreplay, they are not quite as interested in sex as men are. And yet, more often than not, they engage in it anyway, to please their man. Just as you sacrifice for her, by engaging in extended foreplay and being patient, she sacrifices for you--by doing it at all. And if you are not okay with trading sacrifices like that, then you have much bigger problems than your sex life because this is, unfortunately, how life works. We trade in one thing to get another. We compromise. We spend money to make money: we show respect to gain it; we show love to gain it. That is life. Nobody will ever give you anything unless you have shown yourself willing to give in return.
Long story short, you are receiving hostility from us because your comments are phrased in a way that make you seem selfish and unreasonable. You seem to want everything to go exactly your way, and to have no patience with any other method--including, in this case, the stark realities of female physiology and psychology, whose laws are beyond your, our or anybody's power to alter. I urge you to spend some time thinking about the fact that you are being perceived this way. True, it is our responsibility to not judge a book by its cover... But it is also your responsibility to put forward a pleasant and respectful cover. If it is our job to look past this display--which it is--then it is also yours to not display it in the first place. That is one of those irritating-but-necessary compromises that happen so frequently in life. Please think on this.
Also worthy of mentioning is that women barely initiate, don't really desire men and foreplay is more about them

ad that men can't really relax and let go during orgasms or get multiple orgasms from women.

It'd be rare to find a woman who gave more than she took.
