For women: things your mum never told you about sex
Powered by netdoctor

What did your mum tell you about sex?
Many British women say that they didn't get enough sexual information from their mothers. So no wonder so many UK females are less than satisfied with their love lives.

Here are three facts that you almost certainly weren't told by your mother. But knowing them could help you to a more enjoyable sex life.

Fact One For most females, learning to climax is quite a difficult and time-consuming business. Nowadays, men tend to suggest to women that they should be able to reach orgasm very easily. The media often give the same impression.

Yet our research shows that the average British female doesn't start having reliable orgasms until two years after she first has sex with a man!

There are many women who don't conform to this pattern: for instance, a lot of teenage girls learn to climax on their own - through masturbation - long before they ever go near a guy. But in general, the ability to 'come' has to be learned over a considerable period of time.

So if you haven't managed it yet, don't be downhearted as you almost certainly will get there.

Fact Two
Practically any woman should be able to have orgasms - and indeed multiple orgasms - if she really wants to.

Back in your mum's day, sex was still quite a taboo subject and talking about orgasms was even more taboo.

And far into the 1970s and 1980s, it was widely suggested that for a 'lady' to want orgasms wasn't really quite 'nice'. And for her to want multiple orgasms was absolutely outrageous! Furthermore, many so-called 'experts' suggested that multiple orgasms were almost impossible for most females.

However, we now know that:

  • virtually any woman can have an orgasm - if her clitoris is stimulated long enough and expertly enough (and of course provided that she's in the right mood!).
  • similarly further intense stimulation after the first orgasm will usually produce another.. and another... and another...
  • I'm not saying that you can achieve all this overnight but, if you stimulate your own clitoris for long enough over a period of time, you can eventually achieve as many orgasms as you like. Clearly you can also have multiple orgasms if you have a partner - male or female - who is devoted to giving you pleasure.

    Fact Three
    There is nothing wrong with 'do it yourself sex'.

    Indeed, sex experts now agree that masturbation can be enormously useful in helping a woman:

  • to learn how to reach orgasm
  • to learn how to reach multiple orgasm.
  • So don't hesitate to go for it.
