Sexual Arousal During Intercourse

Posted: Oct 31, 2009 | Comments: 0 | Views: 107 | Bookmark and Share

When I had sex for the first time, I was disappointed because I had hoped that sex would be spontaneously arousing enough for me to orgasm. I didn't have any clear idea about what I would do during sex except perhaps to respond affectionately to my lover's love-making.

It's amazing when you think of it. I was eighteen years old and a virgin so my vagina was as tight as it was ever likely to be. Yet I couldn't feel a thing from thrusting, not even when my partner's penis initially penetrated me. I was waiting for something to happen and suddenly it was all over.

Even subsequent times I was none the wiser. Naturally, we experimented with oral sex as well as different positions and techniques for sexual intercourse but nothing worked. Sex was so far from providing sexual arousal that it was hard to imagine what would make a difference.

Although I knew how to orgasm from masturbation, this was of little use to me. Masturbation was a solitary experience relying on being highly focused on sexual fantasies. Sex with a partner was completely different. For one, the environment was incompatible with the use of fantasies.

Erotic literature had given me absolute faith that foreplay and vaginal intercourse would provide guaranteed spontaneous sexual arousal and orgasm. So I just lay there, like a lemon, waiting to be transported to the heights of sexual pleasure assuming no need to contribute in any way.

Despite searching for answers for over ten years, so far no one has been able to explain them at all. When I have told them that my boyfriend remarked, that other virgins had made the same comment, the most usual reaction is silence. I am told that if I read so-and-so I would realise that my experience cannot be. They imply that no one else has the same experience.

Therapists conclude that since other women say nothing they must be happy with sex. There is little acknowledgement of just how embarrassed most people are about discussing their sexual experiences. I can vouch for the fact that even when a person is relatively relaxed about sex (as I have been) the humiliation of the implied sexual inadequacy is a very effective silencer.

So women learn to accept their sexual experiences for what they are. They make the best of it for the sake of their partner. Sex becomes an activity to be 'gotten over with'. Sexual arousal is implied or faked depending on pressure from the man.

As a more experienced woman I now know that a woman plays along with men's sexual fantasies, in part, to minimise her own investment of effort in an activity that is not designed to provide women with an equal sexual pleasure.

After all, it's human nature... Why spend half an hour when you only need to spend a couple of minutes? Even prostitutes know the value of time (and, of course, money). It is much more efficient for a woman to play along with a man's fantasies of arousing a woman so that he orgasms quickly.

In the end, men are directly looking for sexual pleasure (orgasm in particular) but women are, more often, willing to settle for affection and the emotional aspects of sexual relationships.

    The g spot was named for the German physician Ernst Grafenberg who first described "an erotic zone located on the anterior wall of the vagina along the course of the urethra that would swell during sexual stimulation." After you've gotten your partner worked up with the use of some good foreplay, you're now ready to move on to the next step and to bring her to orgasm through sex. In this article we're going to look at how you can help her reach orgasm through vaginal, oral, and even anal sex. The reason is that variety is going to help keep things from ever getting boring in the bedroom (or wherever else you enjoy one another).

    One of the biggest misconceptions people have about female orgasms is that they are all created equal. The truth is that not all orgasms are the same: they may all be equally pleasurable but they are generally arrived at through different means. Basically, there are two types of female orgasms: vaginal and clitoral. In this chapter, we're going to briefly discuss both types. This will provide you with some background that you'll need when we can begin experimenting with orgasm-producing techniques a little later in the book.

    The G-spot has been the subject of lore and controversy since it was first identified in 1950 by the German gynecologist Ernst Gräfenberg. Some sexologists believe the small area behind the pubic bone and accessible through the anterior wall of the vagina is an erogenous zone that when stimulated leads to heightened sexual arousal and powerful orgasms. Others dispute the zone's very existence, arguing that studies have turned up no scientific evidence of the G-spot's location, or only highly questionable results. Orgasm Through Oral Sex Oral sex is often one of the only ways men know how to get their partners off. Unfortunately, even oral sex doesn't automatically bring women to orgasm. Remember that a sizable percentage of women have never had an orgasm, and many of them are probably guilty of faking orgasms during oral sex. After all, they feel even more pressure to climax when you're selflessly trying to please them. Plus, we can't discuss oral sex without talking about some ways you can pleasure your partner while she pleasures you. In this section, we'll look at some techniques that can help in both areas.

    No woman is the same so when licking and sucking the clitoris you need to read her body language, if she tenses up then she does'nt like what your doing, if she groans and relaxes then you have found her sweet spot.

    I suppose that I have been lucky. I have had a sex drive that is unusual for a woman. I know that this is unusual because most women talk of love, trust and comittment. From time to time, I positively enjoy jumping on my man.

    The misconception that vaginal intercourse, or any physical stimulation technique for that matter, will lead to spontaneous female sexual arousal leads to women taking a passive stance in sex. They continue to hope indefinitely that a man, knowing how to reach his own orgasm, will somehow know how to make ‘a miracle’ happen.

    It is highly misleading to tell women that lack of orgasm during sex is a sexual dysfunction… It is simply the way things are for many women who hope for orgasm from their sexual relationships.

    When they talk about their sexual relationships with men, women will often refer to love, trust and commitment. These factors are obviously important for the stability of long-term relationships that family life depends on. But they are not factors that will help a woman learn how to enjoy orgasm during sex.

    Most women, sex experts or not, never learn to masturbate. Without the knowledge of how to achieve their own orgasm through masturbation, they never learn how their own sexual arousal works and that genital stimulation is required for orgasm as much for women as it is for men.

    Women like to refer to sex as 'making love' because it indicates that their motives are loving rather than explicitly sexual. Modern expectations may cause some women to talk about their sexual experiences in terms of arousal and orgasm. But many others interpret sex as a loving act without needing to talk about orgasm at all.

    The heterosexual act of vaginal intercourse is designed foremost as an expression of love between a man and a woman. After all, if sex was purely about two people reaching orgasm, then we would more naturally engage in activities that involve more direct genital stimulation. Intercourse is a natural progression from kissing to a man capitalising on his sexual arousal to 'make love' to a woman.
