Female Orgasm May Be Tied to 'Rule of Thumb'
Sex Study Looks to Physical Reason Why Women Don't
Climax During Vaginal Intercourse
First came
the
G-spot, then multiple climax and spiritual
tantric sex. The modern woman is not only expected to be a good
mother and a
professional success, but some believe she needs to behave like a
porn star in the bedroom.
So if a simple device could reveal whether a
woman is capable of a
vaginal orgasm, would it take the pressure off heterosexual women to
perform?
New research suggests that a simple measurement -- a "rule of
thumb" -- might be the key to the pleasures of
sexual intercourse.
About 75 percent of all women never reach orgasm from
intercourse alone -- that is without the extra help of sex toys, hands
or tongue.
And 10 to 15 percent never climax under any circumstances.
The Internet is rife with non-orgasmic women who say they are
missing out, and statistics suggest that they are a significant group.
"Maybe my boyfriend and I aren't doing it right or something," one
woman wrote on
WebMD.com. "I don't understand. I feel like less of a
woman because I can't have an orgasm and I want to so bad. I
feel incomplete sometimes after sex."
"I enjoy sex, my partners enjoy the sex," said another on
EmpowHER.com. "The guy I'm with right now is frustrated because he's never
had a problem making a women happy until now, and it's frustrating
for me because I just don't understand."
"What's wrong with me?" asks another on Steadyhealth.com. "I
never told anyone this before, but I feel like this is my only option as I am
too shy to go to the doctor's."
He wants to determine if a woman's ability to have an orgasm with
penile stimulation alone depends on how far her clitoris lies from her
vagina -- the so-called "C-V distance."
Wallen said understanding more about a woman's anatomy might
enhance her sex life.
"I suspect that for a large proportion of women, orgasm from
intercourse alone is just never going to happen and knowing that might give
women some solace."
