What's the point of sexual intercourse without orgasm?

callasandrala asks:

Hi, my boyfriend and I have recently been considering having sexual intercourse for the first time. I've read that something like 75% of women do not orgasm from intercourse, and I believe that I may be one of these three-quarters. I have been fingered by two different males and tried to masturbate to orgasm but have been unsuccessful at feeling any sort of pleasure whatsoever(I've been attempting for about four years now). I can have external clitoral orgasms fairly easily and oral sex is great, I'm just wondering if there will be any point in having intercourse with my boyfriend except for the purpose of feeling close to him and giving him pleasure.

If 75% of women do not receive pleasure from intercourse, then why do most women continue to participate in intercourse? Or, is it just that 75% are unable to orgasm but do receive some pleasure? Is it possible that I will never receive any pleasure from intercourse?

What's the Risk? Easy Pregnancy Risk Assessments

At Scarleteen, we believe that no one should ever have to be pregnant if they do not want to be. Part of assuring that is understanding when you are and are not likely to be at risk of pregnancy, and how great your risk may be.

Where DID I Come From? A Refresher Course in Human Reproduction

It may seem silly to address a topic that many of us had explained when we were very young. Unfortunately, very few of us have had it explained well, leaving a good many with no idea what the birds and the bees really mean to our everyday sexual lives. Every day someone at Scarleteen asks if this, that or the other thing is a pregnancy risk, or how they can tell if they are pregnant, or how they can even get pregnant in the first place. It isn't stupid or immature not to know the answers to these questions. It is only foolish not to ask them when we don't know the answers, or to assume we'll just be "lucky," and so never try to learn.
