The Erotic Highway
My dear preciouz,
The answer to your question is YES, YES, AND YES!!!!! In fact, women who orgasm from purely vaginal stimulation are in a minuscule minority. And even then, the clitoris does have something to do with it. In fact, the celebrated sex researchers Masters and Johnson asserted that ALL female orgasms come from clitoral stimulation. As to how that stimulation occurs is a different story. Contrary to popular belief, the clitoris isn't just a little "joy button." It's a SYSTEM, full of nerve endings that go deep into the uterus and the surrounding areas. Please read Rebecca Chalker's book "The Clitoral Truth" if you don't believe me.
And now this: Kim Wallen, professor of psychology and behavioral neuroendocrinology at Emory University is investigating the meaning of the distance between a woman's clitoris and her vagina. That number might predict how easily a woman can experience orgasms from penile stimulation alone, without help from fingers, toys or tongue during sexual intercourse. Wallen says that clitoris-vagina distances less than 2.5 cm - that's roughly from the tip of your thumb to your first knuckle - tend to yield reliable orgasms during sex. More than a thumb's length? Regular intercourse alone typically might NOT do the trick.
Wallen is not the first to check into this "C-V distance." In the 1920s, Princess Marie Bonaparte, a French psychoanalyst and close friend of Sigmund Freud, grew fed up with her own lack of orgasmic response. In her professional practice, she saw plenty of patients with the same complaint ("frigidity," in the parlance of the day). Bonaparte collected C-V and orgasm data from her patients and in 1924 published her observations. Wallen dug up Bonaparte's measurements and analyzed them with modern statistical techniques and a striking correlation was found.
Now, women with a large C-V distance should not be discouraged. A happy sex life does not depend on p-v sex with no other stimulation. In fact, study after study shows that over 75% of all tested women repeatedly fail to orgasm if there is no clitoral stimulation involved. The clitoris has one biological function only: TO GENERATE SEXUAL PLEASURE FOR WOMEN SO THAT THEY CAN ORGASM...and therefore get impregnated easier, although that's a different story, LOL.
My final advice to you is to MAKE SURE that you are clitorally stimulated as much as possible. You will have a better sex life, your skin will glow and you will be an all-around happier woman. So yes, masturbate away, get eaten, top zillions of guys, do whatever it takes to get you off. And be happy that the Universe in all its wisdom has endowed you with that spectacular little piece of joy - YOUR CLITORIS!
