Facts so far


  • The clitoris is the only part of the human body whose only function is to pleasure.
  • Vaginal length varies and does NOT relate to your body size or shape. The ‘back wall’ ranges from 5.1 to 14.4 cm, while the ‘front wall’ ranges from 4.4 to 8.4 cm.
  • Pelvic floor muscles contract 3-15 times during an orgasm. The contractions occur at approx. 0.8 second intervals.
  • Many women believe that vaginal discharge is abnormal. However, it is a vital part of the vagina being healthy, as it has an acidic PH and makes it difficult for bacteria and viruses to grow in.
  • Satisfaction with sex: 49% of heterosexual women, 47% of lesbian women, and 49% of bisexual women say they’re happy with their sex life. Heterosexual men - 51%
  • The average time spent having sex a day is 4 minutes.
  • “The area in the brain that responds to nipple stimulation overlaps with the area that responds to clitoral stimulation”.
  • Female orgasms typically last between 5-60 seconds.
  • Lesbian women are more likely to orgasm during sex at 86%, compared to heterosexual women at 65%.
  • The ideal duration of sex according to a survey of sex therapists, “was 3-7 minutes (1-2 minutes was considered to short, and >10 minutes was considered too long. In one study, heterosexual couples reported an average of 11-13 minutes of foreplay and 7-8 minutes of intercourse, and men thought both the foreplay and the penetration lasted longer than the women did. Both men and women reported wanting more foreplay and more intercourse”. 
  • Only ⅓ of women are able to reach orgasm through heterosexual sex alone (meaning no additional help of clitoral stimulation, a vibrator, etc).
  • There is no specific location for the ‘G Spot’.
  • “All pleasure roads lead to the clitoris”.
  • “Female ejaculation is tiny drops of fluid, not ‘squirting’ as depicted in most online videos and porn”.
  • There is no connection between underwear and yeast infections. 
  • Oil based lubricants can weaken latex condoms.
  • Silicone lubricants can wear down silicone toys.


Questions:
  • Do women feel ill-informed about their bodies?
  • If so, why? Where is the failure taking place? School sex-ed, the doctors office?
  • If women are more informed about their bodies, could their sex life improve? Perhaps drastically?
  • Why don't more women look up the answers they're looking for? Embarrassment? 
  • Why are there so many misconceptions and myths about the female body?
