Women Want Sex
in Slow Motion
Less than one in three women climax from penetration
because it’s all over too quickly. Yet when a woman
does orgasm it can last for up to a minute, compared
to the average male orgasm of a couple of seconds.
But women are capable of multiple orgasms
(one orgasm after another without the loss
of arousal) and sequential orgasms (a number
of orgasms within the same sex session).
Wham-Bam: The
Two-Minute Man
It’s true that women find it far harder than men to reach an orgasm. They aren’t as easily aroused, they take far longer to climax and they find it more difficult to get there.
The female orgasm is purely about pleasure. A guy’s orgasm has one function: getting his sperm to the egg. Do women get a raw deal when it comes to orgasms or are they actually better off?
When it comes to sex women are running a marathon while men are in a sprint. Most guys take around two minutes from penetration to ejaculation.
Once he’s dispatched the sperm, his plugin needs to rest (it’s called the refractory period) for anything from 20 minutes to two days before it’s operationally ready again.
Not only do guys get aroused at the drop of a skirt but within two minutes it’s all over. The final ignominy: He falls asleep, thanks to sex depleting his glycogen stores.
Most women take 20-40 minutes to reach a climax. And for 70 percent of women, this means direct, ongoing stimulation of the clitoris. Only about 30 percent of women can orgasm through penetrative intercourse.
This is because stimulation of the clitoris is the trigger of orgasms in women – yet it is located outside of the vagina, which means it barely gets a nod of recognition in traditional intercourse.
So how does her need for 20-40 minutes correlate with his speedy two-minute process? Women aren’t even given a fighting chance.
It is abundantly clear that nature’s not concerned with whether or not women have orgasms. No female enjoyment is needed to get women pregnant and continue the species.
If nature was concerned, the clitoris would be located two inches inside the vagina, women would slide off their chairs at the sight of a naked guy, and men would take 30-40 minutes of ongoing thrusting to be able to ejaculate.
But nature compensates women spectacularly for this lack of oversight. When a guy has sex, he usually achieves an orgasm.
Less than a third of women climax from penetration because it’s all over too quickly. Yet when a woman does orgasm it can last for up to a minute, compared to the average male orgasm of a couple of seconds.
Taking it one step further, women are capable of multiple orgasms (one orgasm after another without the loss of arousal) and sequential orgasms (a number of orgasms within the same sex session).
This requires something beyond mere intercourse. A skillful finger or tongue usually does the trick.
A vibrator applied to the clitoris usually brings on orgasms far quicker than manual stimulation as the powerful vibration is intensely exciting.
Women become more skillful at masturbation, especially with the wide range of battery-operated toys now at their disposal.
If their lovers improve their oral and manual technique on the clitoris, women are likely to become more focused on achieving orgasms for orgasm’s sake.
