It all comes down to knowing more about one&#8217;s own sexual needs and then <em>doing it properly<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, closer reading of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sexscience.org\/uploads\/media\/JSR_43-3_Richters.pdf\" target=\"blank\">report itself<\/a> says that women are more likely to reach climax if:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; They&#8217;re aged over 19<br \/>\n&#8211; They&#8217;re in a stable relationship<br \/>\n&#8211; They use sex toys<br \/>\n&#8211; They have sex more than twice a week<br \/>\n&#8211; They engage in a varied number of sex practices e.g. manual stimulation, oral, kissing, &#8220;dry humping during sexual encounters.<\/p>\n<p>In a generally unsurprising result, the researchers found that men had an orgasm 98.4% of the time, while women only came 68.9% of the time. Same old, same old.<\/p>\n<p>Funny that most news outlets chose to focus on the &#8220;educated&#8221; angle, rather than come up with the headline: <strong>Women don&#8217;t come as often because people still don&#8217;t have sex properly<\/strong>. I guess that&#8217;s a little unwieldy for the front page. And it doesn&#8217;t allow graduate women to smile a little smug smile and feel thankful for their higher education debts.<\/p>\n<p>I found myself laughing at this paragraph, describing one possible cause of the discrepancy in orgasms between men and women:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>One possible explanation&#8230; is that men want sex more often than women, with the result that in established couples, some of the sexual interactions are what women popularly call &#8220;mercy fucks&#8221; or &#8220;freebies.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now, how many scientific research papers do you know of that regularly use the term &#8220;mercy fuck&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>In the end, the researchers conclude that frequency of female orgasm is essentially related to the ways in which people have sex.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Our findings suggest, however, that the proximal cause \u00e2\u20ac\u201d the sexual stimulation delivered to women in the typical, rigidly-scripted heterosexual interaction\u00e2\u20ac\u201dhas more to do with whether they reach orgasm (and, we suspect, enjoy sex) than with more obscure and distant causes. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yep, it all comes back to the age-old belief that penis-in-vagina is the ultimate goal of sex &#8211; and the fact that this doesn&#8217;t serve women very well. It&#8217;s over 30 years since Shere Hite pointed this out, but it&#8217;s always nice to have new research to back it up.<\/p>\n<p>Now, after all that dry academic discussion&#8230; why not take time out and visit my new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quirkysex.com\/linklist\/femaleorgasm\/index.html\">Female Orgasm<\/a> category at Quirky Sex.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Australian study of 9000 women has concluded that women who have been to university are more likely to have orgasms.
