Each woman's ability to orgasm during sex depends almost wholly on physical development that occurred while she was still in the womb, according to the review authors. During gestation, the clitoris begins to drift up and away from the vaginal opening, the researchers said. But among women whose clitoris drifted too far up, it may be very difficult or even impossible to have an orgasm during sex, because traditional lovemaking doesn't provide enough friction to stimulate the clitoris, said Dr. Maureen Whelihan.
Positions to make female orgasm easier during intercourse
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.
A study published last month in The Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy found that nearly 37 percent of American women required clitoral stimulation to experience orgasm , compared with 18 percent of women who said that vaginal penetration alone was enough to come. According to Debby Herbenick , a researcher at the Center for Sexual Health Promotion at Indiana University, the results of this study revealed women's wide range of preferences when it came to how they liked being touched during sex. The study, which was conducted in partnership with OMGYes , a company focused on "the science of women's pleasure," surveyed more than 1, women between the ages of 18 and The study followed on the heels of a round of 1, interviews conducted by OMGYes with different women about their sexual preferences, for a combined cohort of 2, participants to make this largest-ever study on the specifics of women's pleasure. The women in the study took a survey composed of 30 multipart questions related to their sexual behaviors, attitudes, and experiences with genital touching, including detailed questions about how the women preferred to be touched.
While movies and pop culture may have normalized the not true notion that female orgasm requires penetration, the truth is that you very rarely hear women say they can achieve orgasm just from penetration. Some experts say 70 percent of women rarely or never have orgasms, but men put a premium on it for a few obvious reasons: 1 porn and 2 they want to feel like their penis is a sexual hot rod that will make you speak in tongues and throw your vibrator into a volcano. But some women still claim to be able to have vaginal-only orgasms! So then how can you still have a purely vaginal orgasm without G-spot stimulation?
