What counts as 'cheating' in the digital age?
The founder of a dating service promoting adultery is setting his sights on China's cheating hearts after a controversial launch in Hong Kong. This photo illustration taken on August 20 shows the homepage of the Ashley Madison dating website displayed on a laptop in Hong Kong. It can include kissing, touching, erotic massage and using sex toys, just to name a few options. This term “outercourse” refers to sex that isn’t intercourse and doesn’t involve penetration. “A woman’s general mood and stress level – including the degree to which she is able to mindfully immerse in the sexual encounter – can have an impact on orgasm quality too,” Mintz explained. Instead, the most common contributors to orgasmic bliss included spending time to build arousal, having a partner who knows that they like, emotional intimacy and clitoral stimulation during intercourse, said Herbenick. In fact, fewer than one in five women surveyed believed that longer sex contributed to better orgasms. These so-called better orgasms aren’t necessarily dependent on the length of an encounter. Many are greatly relieved when they learn that they are among the majority of women who engage in sexual intercourse.”ĭo some orgasms feel better than others? According to 78% of the survey respondents, the answer is yes. “Women who either are uninformed or insecure and therefore easily intimidated by ignorant partners bear a great deal of shame and guilt at being unable to climax from intercourse alone. “This is one of the saddest and most common problems I deal with in my clinical practice,” added Anita Hoffer, a sexuality counselor and educator. “The main reasons they give for faking is that they want to appear ‘normal’ and want to make their male partners feel good,” she said. Yet, many women still fake orgasm during intercourse, according to therapist Laurie Mintz, author of the new book “ Becoming Cliterate.” About 36% said they needed clitoral stimulation in order to orgasm during intercourse, and another 36% said it enhanced the experience. This study found that only about 18% of women reported being able to climax during intercourse from vaginal penetration alone.
The study contained a few compelling findings worth enumerating. This flies in the face of the stereotype of intercourse as the be-all and end-all of sexual activity – and suggests that couples should explore the whole range of pleasurable options for achieving climax.
In reading her results, I’m struck by the idea that the majority of women report that they often don’t reach orgasm through intercourse alone. “Our purpose was to understand more about women’s experiences with … the kinds of touch they find pleasurable and how clitoral and vaginal stimulation contribute to their orgasms,” she explained. According to a recent study, many women report that they require clitoral stimulation to have an orgasm.įor the study, Debby Herbenick, director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion at Indiana University and a research fellow and sexual health educator at the Kinsey Institute, and her colleagues assessed data from 1,055 women ages 18 to 94 who answered a detailed online survey about their sex lives.
