Sex Facts for
Women
A man's capacity to
get and
maintain an erection decreases gradually as he ages, while most women
require more than penile penetration to reach orgasm.
The penis shape and erection angle vary from
man to man - there is no normal shape or size and the average erection is
roughly horizontal from the body.
Most men cannot reach orgasm more than once in
about an hour and most have between one and four orgasms per week, depending on
their age. Men don't 'come in buckets' - usually they ejaculate about a
teaspoon-full upon climax.
Most women require
more than penile penetration to
reach orgasm - 'thrusting' alone is usually not enough -
clitoral stimulation and
foreplay are usually more important.
A woman's natural lubrication cannot be turned
on like a tap - it needs desire, stimulation and a little time, and on those
occasions when the woman is
'drier' than usual, a water-based artificial lubricant is a normal adjunct
to enjoyable lovemaking.
Some of the most important discoveries sexual
partners can make about each other during sex is
through
talking - finding out what excites and arouses them, what are turn-offs,
what are fears and anxieties, what are
fantasies, how vigorous their sex could be.
Find out about each other and take sex further
by having a shared knowledge about the kind of sensual lovemaking that appeals
to you both. Sexual
and emotional needs vary from person to person - some people are happy in
monogamous relationships, others have a desire for more than one
partner.
Masturbation in front of your partner (with
her/his agreement and encouragement) or together (mutual masturbation) can be a
turn-on for both partners and is a valid and very enjoyable part of
lovemaking.
