A quite sensitive press release landed on the virtual doormat today proclaiming that: "Fit women are twice as likey to have an orgasm!" Well, who could resist reading on? And, as it turns out, resistance is key to being fit. Survey results timed to coincide loosely with National Orgasm Day (coming soon) reveal some insider details of the female orgasm.
Apparently, it's UK National Orgasm Day on July 31 and as if to lend a helping hand, the 2008 Orgasm Survey (www.orgasmsurvey.co.uk) was just published.
More than 2000 women shared their inner most feelings with the survey's creators who now tell us that:
Nearly half of all women are not getting their fair share of orgasms
The G-spot is not a myth - 75% of women claim to have one
25% don't think they have a G-spot and this group rarely achieve orgasm
Women who claim to have a good pelvic floor have twice as many orgasms as those who don't
92% of women want to be shown how to exercise properly
82% of women reported a much improved sex life within 4 weeks when they were shown how to exercise properly using a resistance device.
Of course, it all turns out to be a rather creative publicity exercise to get free advertising for an exercise device that looks like a cross between a device for making your hair short & curly and an intimate vibrating massager (as they say in the ads). But, it does give SciScoop an excuse to mention orgasms, to wonder why the UK needs to have a national day for them, and how we're going to explain all this to the kids when they get home from school.
