Sorry I've been M.I.A. all day, I caught whatever nasty bug has been going around recently and have been holed up all weekend and today laying on the couch and watching really bad cable TV (seriously, I watched the movie Big twice!) in between long stretches of fever sweat-dripping sleep. Now that I've completely grossed y'all out with my illness details - and you didn't even hear the worst of it, trust me - I've surfaced at this late hour, unable to get back to sleep. Not surprising, as I've basically slept 20 hours a day for the last three.
Anyway, writing for a reason. Good thing I'm awake, because I just found this article that very well may change the way people think about vaginal orgasms. Jezebel reports on this L.A. Times piece that gives us a little insight into the vag and what's the what with vaginal orgasms. Read on.
During intercourse, the female orgasm can be elusive. What frustrated woman hasn't wondered: Am I simply, um, put together differently than other women?
Kim Wallen, professor of psychology and behavioral neuroendocrinology at Emory University, is busy doing the math to find out. And, yes, he says, simple physiology may have a lot to do with orgasm ease -- specifically, how far a woman's clitoris lies from her vagina.
That number might predict how easily a woman can experience orgasms from penile stimulation alone -- without help from fingers, toys or tongue -- during sexual intercourse.
In fact, there's even an easy "rule of thumb," Wallen says: Clitoris-vagina distances less than 2.5 cm -- that's roughly from the tip of your thumb to your first knuckle -- tend to yield reliable orgasms during sex. More than a thumb's length? Regular intercourse alone typically might not do the trick.
Hmmm. Wonder if women will start measuring? And I can only imagine how pop culture will milk the shit out of it with distance trimming creams and expensive plastic surgeries. Please.
Ok, back to the sickbed for me. Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow (later today actually).
xoxo
