Women’s sexual arousal tends to be assumed or overlooked

Bookmark and Share

Much of what is known about female orgasm comes from women’s exper­i­ence of masturb­a­tion. Shere Hite’s work focused on female masturb­a­tion and the clitoris.

As a research student in the United States in the early 1970s, Shere (pronounced ‘sherry’) Hite circu­lated a lengthy ques­tion­naire through women’s magazines and to passers-by on the street. She asked women to answer direct ques­tions about orgasm anonymously.

Only 30% of her

Lack of orgasm is not a sexual dysfunction

Bookmark and Share

It is often suggested that a lack of female orgasm during sex is a sign of sexual dysfunc­tion but the truth is that this is simply the way things are for women who hope for orgasm from their sexual rela­tion­ships. A woman is lucky to orgasm by any means.

Bookmark and Share

Beliefs about female sexu­ality are more often based on fantasy than facts. These are the 10 essen­tial facts that every sexual woman should know:

(1) Enjoying orgasm through genital stimulation

Anyone, male or female, alone or with a partner, uses genital stim­u­la­tion to take a mental state of sexual arousal (achieved by appre­ci­ating erot­i­cism) to orgasm.

(2) The role of psycho­lo­gical sexual arousal

Why foreplay techniques don’t always work as we think they should

Bookmark and Share

Fore­play has evolved as a means of compens­ating women for the lack of clit­oral stim­u­la­tion during inter­course. The concept behind fore­play tech­niques (including clit­oral stim­u­la­tion) is that a man should be able to arouse a woman suffi­ciently to enable him to continue stim­u­lating her to orgasm through thrusting alone.

One problem with fore­play is that clit­oral stim­u­la­tion needs to continue to the point of orgasm. (Imagine if Continue reading

Bookmark and Share

Shere Hite explained in the 1970s how the women in her surveys reached orgasm during sex. She compared women’s success with orgasm during masturb­a­tion to their exper­i­ence of inter­course and concluded that the differ­ence was due to lack of clit­oral stim­u­la­tion.

“To have an orgasm during inter­course, there are two ways a woman can increase her chances always remem­bering that she is adapting her body to Continue reading

Women’s psychological sexual arousal

Bookmark and Share

Even today, female sexual arousal is shrouded in mystery. Female orgasm is assumed to happen ‘natur­ally’ or with the assist­ance of a loving partner.

No one needs to tell men how their sexual arousal works. Boys exper­i­ence spon­tan­eous erec­tions so that male masturb­a­tion is inev­it­able. Girls do not develop the same genital focus and so they end up confusing the emotions of sex with true sexual arousal and Continue reading
