I have spent the last few days studying and pondering on the story of
Tiresias. One of the things I have been trying to find the answer to is
what
Tiresias considered "the ten pleasures" (or parts) of sex, of which he
said man enjoys only one, while woman enjoys three times three, or nine
pleasures, although some versions say woman enjoys all ten.

There seems to be no answer to this question. So far as I can tell,
there is no listing of the pleasures anywhere in the texts, just the
mention that there are ten. When surfing around the web to try and find
the answer, all I see are people claiming that it is literal sexual
orgasmic pleasure.
Then the modern feminist narrative comes out
claiming that this was all from 'misogynist' Greece where they were
oppressing women. So it is all just nonsense in an attempt by the
Greeks to hold women down - everyone knows men enjoy sex far more than
women.
But is this true?
Having a look at the myth itself, we may find a clue.
