Some things I learned today about my body and sexuality that I never knew before from my doctor.

Not me, at the Ob/Gyn.
Not me, at the Ob/Gyn.

I had an interesting discussion today with my Ob/Gyn, obstetrician/gynecologist, a female health specialist doctor during my routing pregnancy checkup. Anyway, we have seen so much of each other during my three pregnancies, we have become rather friendly and end up spending time talking about topics outside the bounds of my specific health.

Today, we first were talking about how weird it was that nipples would randomly get hard and sensitive at random times that did not make much sense. According to her, this is related to oxytocin, the pair bonding hormone, being released due to various stimuli. This could be a baby crying, but it could also be during sexual arousal or after orgasm or just close contact with another person. I suppose if my understanding is correct, guys could potentially tell if we are bonding with them emotionally.

That got us talking about orgasms and she had an interesting stat that 25% or women (or around there) do not have the nerve framework to allow for vaginally induced orgasms. While other women have varying degrees of receptivity from marginally up to extremely receptive. For most women it requires involvement of the clitoris, which includes the roof of the vaginally due to interconnectivity to those nerves.

Over the years, I have always been interest how friends would say how difficult they would have it having orgasms during sex when it seemed straight forward to me, but this was interesting to find out. It explains why guys might have trouble from relationship to relationship and the importance of communicating needs.

One last thing. The most important thing that stops a woman from climaxing? Anxiety. Something to keep in mind for your relationships, guys.

  • This was really interesting, thank you for posting it. I'm one of those women who cannot orgasm without clitoral stimulation. What I didn't realize until fairly recently is that the clitoris is not just the little nub at the top, but it also extends down around the labia to the perineum and even to (and inside) the anus. I have better orgasms and orgasm much easier if all of those areas are stimulated. I've found that if I (or my guy) pay attention to the area around my labia and perineum, it gets me there much faster and my orgasms are stronger. I know some guys might find it a turn off but the anus is a very erogenous zone that can really enhance her orgasms. Just sayin.

    • Yeah, it's hard to describe and talk about unless your comfortable with the person.

    • have u ever tried anal sex?

    • @rebeliouse None of your business.

  • OK I totally get it that the number one thing that can keep a woman from climaxing, is anxiety. Probably one of the main things that would keep a guy from getting an erection also!

  • Thanks for posting it. Was interesting to read!

  • Good stuff… ;) thank you for posting.

    I learned a lot on gag.

    I didn’t that our nipples have so many holes till I gave birth and my milk was coming out spraying all over the place lol.
    men’s nipples are neglected … that they also gets harden.

    • They are amazing. Everything about being a mom is a miracle.

    • Agree

  • As many things as you learned about, your sexually, hormones, anatomy etc that you didn't know. Most men know even less. Could a man be aware you are bonding with him? Yes he could, but likely he won't. Reading the questions asked by men here, or some of their comments or especially the ones they ask when posing as women, show how utterly clueless they are. I think I'm better than the average guy for a few reasons, I'm 64 and I've been married 35 years, I'm a nurse, I've studied anatomy and physiology, I'm interested and studied stuff. Even in spite of all this, I often find women confusing.

    • We often forget we are foremost biological in nature.

  • Interesting

    What pray tell is the cure for emotional blue balls 1 month post-partum?

  • You found my playbook. Surely this can explain why my ex orgasmed during her period while I licked her breasts. I think she was as surprised as I was.

    That photo captions are funny.
