Genetics are sexy…well, for some of us
A new study shows that the female orgasm is heavily influenced by genetics.
Why am I not surprised? Because I’ve just known too many women who could (reportedly) climax at the drop of a hat, a few who couldn’t at all, and a bunch of us who would like to have multiples but can’t. (Newsflash for the Orgasm Nazis – and you know who you are, boys! – the vast majority of women don’t have multiples. And many of the women that men think have multiples are faking. Sorry, Charlie – that’s the truth.)
The next time a guy makes the pronouncement that I’m “difficult” in bed – which we all know is the male ego’s way of saying “I don’t want to bother with actually making an effort to please you sexually” – I can refer him to my parents. I’m sure they’ll find that amusing. Or something. *snicker*
Lots of things are heavily influenced by genetics. *shrug* I suppose researchers have to cover all of the bases, of course, but this seems fairly obvious given all of the other things our genes either influence or out-and-out dictate…
wow – a genetic link? does that mean that my admittedly-frigid mother actually has the capacity for multiple, pleasurable orgasms? i’m a little incredulous. i was brought up that ‘sex is no fun for the woman. do your wifely duty and let HIM get his pleasure.’ gak.
i am proud to say that i am one of those ‘drop-of-the-hat,’ multi-orgasmic people, and i even wake myself up having multiple orgasms (not as often as i’d like, of course). however, most of the men that i’ve been with have too much experience with women who cannot orgasm, or cannot have more than one per session. with me, the joke has always been marking them off on an imaginary wall or actually counting them on a pad & paper. average # for a 90-min. sex session is around 50 (that includes the multiples). and very tiring, too.
I’m one of those drop-of-the-hat girls too, but have still come across more than one guy who didn’t want to bother making an effort. An effort. For flipping a freaking light switch. I’ll never understand.
