Vaginal Orgasm May Not be Real: Study

Study says vaginal orgasm might be just a myth.

Earlier scientific theories suggest hitting the G-spot makes women experience orgasm during intercourse. But, a new research found the concept of vaginal orgasm may not be true and the size and location of clitoris plays a superior role in inducing pleasure. Shaped like a boomerang, the clitoris joins the vagina on the either side of its opening and the pars intermedia, a thin layer of skin connecting two vestibular blubs or the clitoral bulbs. The region is well connected with countless nerve cells which makes it more sensitive to mild touch and caress. This is why clitoris is called as the 'female penis', reports the New York Magazine.

 For the study, experts scanned pelvic regions of 30 women aged about 32 on average and recorded their sexual experiences, satisfaction and number of times they were able to achieve orgasm. About 10 participants complained not being able to orgasm and the remaining subjects reported having normal sexual experiences.

It observed that women whose clitoris were small and further away from the vagina could not climax. This condition is also known as anorgasmia. When the clitoris is positioned close to the vagina, it remains stimulated during intercourse making women enjoy sex and undergo an orgasmic state.

These finding help develop new strategies to treat problems related to sex.

"Male ejaculation does not automatically mean the end of sex for women. Touching and kissing can be continued almost indefinitely, and noncoital sexual acts after male ejaculation can be used to produce orgasm in women," said Vincenzo Puppo, co-author and sexologist at the renowned university, reports the Daily Mail.
