Mind-blowing Orgasm Tips For Women

June 3, 2009 - 2:42pm 5208 reads 6 comments

Who knew the cure for some really big problems is right under our nose and between our legs. Yup, according a recent post by Penelope Trunk, people who have orgasms earn more, hang out with higher powered people, are better at public speaking, and walk with a more confident gait.

Of course, there’s always a hitch. Or in this case, a gap—the "orgasm gap."

Reports Hannah Seligson in the Daily Beast: "Women are shattering political glass ceilings, surpassing men in the workforce, and even winning Indy-car races. But there's one area where the gender gap has proved particularly stubborn: The orgasm gap."

Paula England, a professor of sociology at Stanford University, says the orgasm gap is as serious as the pay gap and “it’s producing a rampant culture of sexual asymmetry.”

Wow. “Sexual asymmetry!” That sounds so serious. How did we end up here?

One theory has to do with the oral sex inequity. Ladies, stop giving so much and getting nothing enough back. I'm serious!

Another issue: men are still twice as likely to climax as women. In hookup situations men are twice as likely to orgasm than women (wild guess here, but could this be connected to the above-mentioned inequity?).
