More Than One Way To Have A Female Orgasm
For most of us, reaching an earth-shattering, body quaking orgasm isn't simply a matter of pressing the right button. Sometimes you can fumble around for what seems like hours before you hit the spot - especially if a new boyfriend is involved in the eternal game of "chase the climax". But imagine if there was actually a special zone inside your body that, when stimulated, almost guaranteed an "I'm going to scream and I don't care who hears" type of orgasm. And another. And another. Well, there is! And, even better, it's not the G-spot but another crucial erogenous zone buried in the vagina known as the A-spot (or, more technically, the anterior fornex erogenous).
It's located on the front wall of the vagina about a third of the way down and has only recently been identified by a team of scientists researching female sexuality. It was first brought to the attention of the medical world a couple of months ago, and since then has caused a stir among sexperts. Why? Because the results were so amazing.
When the A-spot was stimulated, an incredible 95 per cent of women in the study experienced "erotic sensitivity" for the first time in their lives. For women who had experienced orgasms before, they found stimulating the A - spot produced more frequent and intense climaxes.
With a WOW factor of 11 out of 10, the discovery of the A-spot could now shift the emphasis of female sexual arousal away from the clitoris and back to the vagina, long neglected in the foreplay department. But, you have to ask yourself, why has it taken so long for the experts to suss out this magical pleasure zone? Well, one theory is that when it comes to arousal, science is extremely reluctant to acknowledge that women get raunchy. A case in point is the G spot. In 1944, gynaecologist Ernst Grafenberg lost face with his fellow researchers when he published a paper claiming there was an area in the upper wall of the vagina so erotically charged it caused orgasms when stimulated.
Thirty-eight years later, a team of American psychologists encountered similar resistance when they also argued that women have a sensitive area inside the vagina that could produce multiple orgasms independently of any other stimulation. Even now, the G spot is still sparking off "does it or doesn't it exist" debates among sex researchers, with most coming down firmly on the "no" side. Yet there's little dispute among women that their vaginal walls are erotically charged - a recent survey of 2,350 women showed 66 per cent had a sensitive area in their vagina that produces pleasurable sensations. All in the mind? Until recently there's been little research into female arousal.
This may have something to do with the fact that in the past many sexologists have been men, or that sex researchers have claimed it's difficult to get accurate information because of see-sawing female hormones. For example, scientists have known for a long time that conditions such as diabetes,high blood pressure and heart disease can affect the male erection, but no one has bothered to find out what effect they have on a woman's ability to orgasm. It's a way of controlling female sexuality, says a sex therapist. If you don't understand how female hormones work, you can dismiss women as hysterical.
The little research that's been done into female sexuality mainly has to do with fertility and conception as opposed to arousal. In short, when it comes to sex research, women are only of interest as child bearers. The result is, female arousal problems are still often seen as "all in the mind". In contrast, men's sexual difficulties are often treated as physical conditions with medical solutions. "The key to female orgasms, vaginal lubrication is treated by sex researchers as a bit of an aside, but it's similar to a man's erection in terms of arousal and is therefore essential for orgasm," says the sex therapist. When men and women become aroused they experience vasocongestion, a pooling of blood in the pelvic area in men, this blood helps the penis to produce an erection.
In women, a clear slippery fluid is released by the vagina as lubrication. The bottom line? No fluid, no orgasm. But it's a subject rarely discussed. A quick flick through the pages of any newspaper will reveal ad after ad for impotency cures, but most of the females products publicised are of a "personal hygiene" nature. Yet the factors that influence the male erection also have a dehydrating affect on the vagina, and these include aging, some medical conditions, yeast-related infections, stress, smoking, alcohol and some prescribed and over-the counter medicines.
"Antihistamines, antidepressants and sleeping pills can all cause vaginal dryness but this is never listed as one of the side-effects," says the sex therapist. All of which brings us back to the A-spot.
One of the most exciting things about this study is that it was for and about female sexuality - no males need apply. The sole aim was to find a way to stimulate lubrication in the vagina. Says US author and sexpert, Dr Judy Kuriansky:
"It was a scientific study for women. The doctors involved were concerned with finding a cure for the vaginal dryness that results from vaginal infections, diabetes and taking particular drugs. And what they found was nine out of 10 women in the study got very wet within 10 minutes when their A-spot was stimulated." Wait - it gets better. They then found that the increased blood flow to the pelvic area that helped create lubrication also caused more pleasurable sensations, which worked on a mental level.
Because the women were wetter, they were more turned on, making intercourse more satisfying and setting off a much more pleasant cycle than they'd previously enjoyed. But that's not all. "Stimulating your A-spot can also lead to multiple orgasms.Because you become more turned on and lubricated, sex lasts longer, you enjoy the experience more, and stay with it instead of mentally and physically shutting down," adds Dr Kuriamsky. In other words, when there's nothing to interfere with your vaginal lubrication, your orgasmic potential is mind-blowing. Women are lucky in that our orgasms have no biological basis - they're purely for pleasure.
And, while men have a relatively long wait between climactic events while their sperm tank refills, now we can have as many blissful climaxes during a sexual encounter as our hearts desire, thanks to the discovery of the A spot. As fabulous as this is, no one's suggesting you forget the rest of your favourite erogenous zones and concentrate purely on your A-spot when you want to have an orgasm. This isn't the be-all and end-all of your sexual response, it's just another aspect in the endless possibilities of our sexuality. As one doctor puts it: "Your whole body is an erogenous zone. Some women can orgasm standing on their heads
if they're in the right mood." Now, that does sound good.
Kyllä käyp katteex....
