If women more often than not don't achieve orgasm from penetration, why do they do it?

I have been doing a bit of research, asking friends, reading up etc and it seems to be the case that in the vast majority of cases that women do not orgasm from penetrative sex. Fair enough, facts are facts. My question to you ladies then is: if you don't find penetration all that enjoyable compared to other forms of sexual intimacy like foreplay, then why bother going past foreplay at all? One thing I read suggests that "intercourse becomes a reward for a good lover". No thank you very much! I'd hate to think that my fiancée is just laying there thinking "well he did x really well so I'll let him get his, I suppose". I'd feel so guilty (and if this is truly the case then I do feel guilty right now!)

Since men can get off from foreplay as well and the shared denouement from orgasm increases intimacy, if not trying to get pregnant, why do women bother with penetration? I'm genuinely confused and would honestly rather go without if it means that my amazing fiancée is lying there gritting her teeth/bored and waiting for it all to be over. I'd feel like the biggest user/jerk/pervert on the planet. Ladies, any insight would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Update:

Thank you to those who answered so far. There seems to be conflicting opinion here - on the one hand saying that women don't need to orgasm to enjoy sex, but then saying to always make sure she orgasms. I'm genuinely confused and honestly would rather not have sex if I'm the only one getting anything out of it.

    Just because someone doesn't orgasm always when the guy is inside doesn't mean anything.

    Sex itself it very enjoyable and being penetrated feels great. If the girl is wet when your Inside her, she's enjoying herself!

    There's two or three ways that can be handled.

    1. You always make sure she orgasms too, either with your mouth or hand- don't forget about her and don't be selfish.

    2. She touches herself down there so she can *** herself.

    3. You invest in toys so she can use a vibe while your inside her and she can *** all over you.

    But don't ever be one of those guys who doesn't make sure she comes too. One day she'll leave you and have sex with a guy who takes care of her, too.

    A few reasons... first, I can enjoy sex quite a bit even if I don't orgasm. Don't get me wrong, orgasms are fantastic but it's not the only reason to have sex. Also, I want my partner to feel good and if he orgasms through penetration, then that's awesome. It's the same reason I do oral on a guy i like - it makes him feel good, which makes me feel good. Having a guy inside me is never boring - the whole process of making love is something I would never take for granted.

    Is orgasming the only reason why you like sex? It's not enjoyable until you orgasm?
