Otherwise, I thought this article was great. (although, the idea that women lose control of their bodies more so than men during orgasm was a little strange; that it just doesn't happen to be true in my experience.) It's true that women may not orgasm for multiple reasons, but from what I've experienced and heard from other women, the #1 cause is men assuming penetration leads to orgasm, rather than clitoral stimulation. In fact, I think some guys would rather believe there is something wrong with their gf than admit that his penis alone isn't going to get the job done. I had a bf who could get me off easily through oral or manual sex, but when we started having vaginal intercourse (and he stopped doing the stuff that worked!) he was Just So Confused as to why I wasn't getting off. He even went so far as to hypothesize that I was just “one of those women who gets off rarely.” Uh, hello buddy, you were getting me off fine with the other stuff. Is this really a huge mystery?

Unfortunately, both men and women are taught that penetration leads to orgasm (through limited sex education, and those movies featuring the hot stud you mentioned. When, in the movies, do we ever see the stud doing something pleasurable with his hands during sex? Uh, never.) So while it isn't specifically the fault of either sex for believing this bs, it's great to have articles like this to help set the record straight.
