The Sunday Mail<\/a> reports on new research into the sexuality of women over 40. It found that women were far more likely to reach orgasm when masturbating alone than with their partner.<\/p>\n

55% of women with no partner could achieve orgasm every time alone, compared to 24.6% with a partner.<\/p>\n

The study, called “What does sexuality mean to older women?” looked at 500 older women and measured their changes over six years.<\/p>\n

It also reinforced the findings of the Hite report – only 30% of women can orgasm through intercourse alone.<\/p>\n

It found that 56% of women aged 40 to 80 were sexually active while 27% of women over 70 were sexually active.<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, women became less interested in sex as they got older.<\/p>\n

What I find interesting about the report is the surprisingly low percentage of women who can orgasm through masturbation. I’d say that the women in question were all brought up in a far less enlightened times, when masturbation was frowned upon, so perhaps it’s not as common for older women to fiddle the bean as it is for those born since the 1970s.<\/p>\n

You could also say that the partner sex isn’t that good either, perhaps because their hubbies are still thinking that penis-in-vagina sex is the only way to go.<\/p>\n

At the same time, surely these are the women of the first feminist revolution? Why aren’t they having a better time in bed?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
