We've been thinking about sex all wrong. Mainstream media, movies, and porn have taught us that sex = penis + vagina, and everything else is just secondary. Standard penetration is how men most reliably achieve orgasm. The problem is, women don't orgasm this way. We've separated our most reliable route to orgasm - clitoral stimulation - from how we feel we should orgasm - penetration. As a result, we've created a pleasure gap between women and men: 50% of 18-35-year-old women say they have trouble reaching orgasm with a partner, 64% of women vs 91% of men said they had an orgasm at their last sexual encounter, 55% of men vs. 4% of women say they usually reach orgasm during first-time hookup sex. In Becoming Cliterate, psychology professor and human sexuality expert Dr. Laurie Mintz exposes the broader cultural problem that's perpetuating this gap, and what we can do about it. Pulling together evidence from biology, sociology, linguistics, and sex therapy into one comprehensive, accessible, and prescriptive book, Becoming Cliterate features: Cultural & historical analysis of female orgasm (spoiler: the problem's been going on for ages), An anatomy section (it's all custom under the hood), Proven techniques for cliterate sex (it starts with training the sex organ between your ears), A comprehensive final chapter for men (because you don't have to have a clitoris to be cliterate) |
