Pope Francis says sexual pleasure is 'a gift from God'
Pope Francis's sermon on lust followed criticism of an old book on sexuality by his head of doctrine.

Pretty sure sexual pleasure is the result of friction, nerve endings, a bunch of neuro-chemicals, and a whole lot of fetishes. If anyone is letting us enjoy sexual pleasure, it’s the other department.
Friction. 🤮 No. NO.
Lubricated friction is still friction, but hey, whatever floats your boat I guess.
Sounds like they are into whatever soaks their boat.

Hate to break it to you, but friction is literally what causes most of the sensation to be felt. Too much friction seems to be what you're thinking of
Under half of women orgasm from penetration alone, and for about one in ten it's outright painful. For me it does pretty much nothing. I guess we could move to whether air and vibrations on clit count as friction, but I'm pretty sure that's not what anyone had in mind. Nor whether kisses and general intimate closeness count as "sexual pleasure".

At the risk of mansplaining, I suspect that actually was what they had in mind, though not exclusively. Friction doesn’t inherently mean PIV. Clitoral stimulation is still down to (the proper amount and application of) friction and (fuckloads of) nerve endings to sense it.
But more importantly, I also think that’s an overly simplistic way of seeing sexual gratification. Sex with a partner is sometimes less directly pleasurable, since the owner of the equipment often (though not always, thanks repression) knows best how to make it feel good, but sex with a partner is still usually better because of the intimacy that comes into play. And sex with a long-term partner can be exceptionally good, because you learn better and better what the other person needs.
(Obviously everyone is different though, and there are always going to be individuals with different experiences and preferences. The world is full of spectrums, not well-defined lines.)
Haven’t you heard the phrase “there were sparks between them”?
I mean, you want low friction, not no friction
Psh, my fetish is thrusting into an empty vacuum.
When there's nothing there, you can pretend it's absolutely anything.
Maybe that's why I got so many boners during physics
