I get mad because my partner wants to let the dog stay in the room during sex. He minds his own business, but still!
There’s a difference between him being okay that the dog is in the room during sex and actually wanting the dog to be in the room during sex. I’m assuming he’s just [...]
For many women – heck, most women at some point in their lives – learning to orgasm is an uphill climb. In fact, because consistent “Look, ma, no hands!” orgasms during intercourse are not exactly par for most women’s courses, women frequently share tips with each other about how to more easily orgasm using vibrators, [...]
There’s a reason that The Pointers Sisters struck a chord in the 80s with their song about wanting a man with a “slow hand” and a “lover with an easy touch.” Because as fun as vigorous, energetic, all-out-thrusting can be, fast sex is not necessarily all that orgasmic for many women.
A few years ago, I attended a conference at which University of Kansas professor Dr. Charlene Muehlenhard presented data regarding men who fake (or as she put it, “pretend”) to have an orgasm during various types of sex with a partner. Often women are characterized as the gender that pretends to orgasm when, in fact, [...]
When it comes to female orgasm, there is no such thing as a sure thing. There is no magical Harry Potter spell (though those who saw promo photos of Daniel Radcliffe in Equus may wish there were). There is also no magic sure-thing sex position to take from women from “that was nice” to “that [...]
Although some couples try to ease into women’s orgasm by choosing sex positions such as the coital alignment technique or building a woman’s arousal., others decide that they want to incorporate a vibrator into their sex play.
Women who are interested in learning to orgasm, or to enhance their current experience of orgasm, may find it helpful to learn about the role of arousal. Orgasm doesn’t exist in a vacuum, of course; it happens as a result of a build-up of sexual excitement and arousal. The more things heat up, the better [...]
Question: Does the G Shot procedure work?
Answer: Unfortunately, we have no scientifically published safety or effectiveness data on the so-called “G shot” (that I have seen, anyway). The G Shot involves an injection of collagen into the anterior (front) wall of the vagina, at or around the area described as the “g spot”. While [...]
Among the most common questions that people ask me about sex are questions about women’s orgasm. Women of all ages often want to know why they have never had an orgasm or why they have had them only during masturbation or oral sex but never (though I like to say “not yet”) during intercourse.
A former student alerted me to this YouTube video from TED (one of my favorite sites) of author extraordinaire Mary Roach discussing interesting research findings and case studies related to orgasm. If you haven’t yet read her books Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex and Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, check them [...]
