I’m a scientist – here’s the best sex position for female orgasm and you’ll need a pillow 0 150

SCIENCE has ‘put to bed’ what the best sex position is for a female orgasm – and you’ll need a pillow.

Ask someone their favourite sex position and it’ll throw up varying answers, from doggy to reverse cowgirl and the wheelbarrow.

But if you want a higher success rate of pleasing your lady, take advice from the scientists.

A pair of researchers from private gynecology clinic New H Medical in New York looked at blood flow in the clitoris both before and after sex for ten minutes. 

An ultrasound scanner was used in the research on a volunteer couple.

The pair were described as a ‘healthy medical doctor couple, both 32 years old’.

The positions studied were:

  • Face-to-face/female on top (cowgirl)
  • Sitting/face-to-face (various)
  • Face-to-face/male on top with a pillow (missionary)
  • Face-to-face/male on top without a pillow (missionary)
  • Kneeling/rear entry (doggy)

The authors, led by Dr Kimberley Lovie, who is leading research with clitoral ultrasounds, wrote: “The kneeling/rear entry position produces the least amount of direct clitoral contact.

“[It] resulted in a negligible increase in blood flow compared to the face-to-face positions.”

The sex position with the least amount of fireworks, therefore, was doggy style.

It produced the ‘least amount of direct clitoral contact’ – which may be key for female sexual pleasure. 

And the most ‘successful’ position was the good old-fashioned missionary, but with a twist.

When the woman had a pillow under her pelvis, tilting it slightly, her clitoris was most stimulated.

“In addition to increasing the amount of contact and pressure on the clitoris, pillows can increase the depth of penetration,” the authors wrote in their paper, published in the journal Sexologies.

There were some limitations to the study, including that it only involved one female.

Experts believe women all have different pleasure spots based on their own anatomy – so it’s always worth experimenting.

The study didn’t actually study whether the woman reached orgasm, only that there was blood flow to the clirotis.

Stimulation of the clitoris is considered a sure-fire way to reach climax. 

The mysterious ‘G spot’ in the vagina is made up of clitoral tissue and there is some evidence the two are connected.

But, due to gaps in research, there is not consistent information about where the G spot is, and whether finding it results in pleasure for all women.

There are many other things at play for female orgasm, for example contractions in the womb, vagina and pelvic floor muscles.

Supporting Ukraine Through Purchasing Power: The Initiatives Keeping the Country’s Economy Afloat 0 173

Alice Trout

Amidst the Russian invasion, Ukrainian creatives are launching initiatives to keep the country’s economy going by harnessing consumer power. Spend With Ukraine is one such online resource that connects consumers to Ukraine-based businesses across various industries, while the Ukrainian Emergency Art Fund allows for donations to support artists. Co-founder of Spend With Ukraine, Andrey Klen, emphasizes the importance of supporting the Ukrainian economy through purchasing decisions. He states, “Armies win battles, but economies win wars.”

Ukrainian brands are still operating and many are donating a portion of their sales to different needs to support the country. To sustain interest in supporting Ukraine through spending, increasing the visibility of these initiatives is key. As Klen says, “We want it to blow out.” These efforts not only help Ukrainian creatives but also support existing industries and provide a sense of normality in these difficult times.

Ensuring Safety and Consent in the Adult Film Industry: A Vital Discussion 0 259

Alice Trout

One topic that may be of interest to readers in the adult film industry is the topic of workplace safety and consent.

The adult film industry, like any other industry, has a responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of its workers. This includes providing a safe working environment, protecting workers from physical and emotional harm, and ensuring that all acts are consensual. However, the nature of the adult film industry can make it difficult to ensure that these standards are met. Actors and actresses may feel pressure to perform acts that they are not comfortable with, and there have been instances of abuse and exploitation in the industry.

To address these issues, it is essential for the industry to have clear guidelines and policies in place to protect the rights and safety of workers. This includes providing education and resources for performers, implementing strict consent protocols, and holding producers and directors accountable for ensuring a safe working environment.

Another important aspect of this topic is the importance of consent in adult film. Consent is a crucial aspect of any sexual encounter and must be obtained freely, enthusiastically, and without coercion. In the adult film industry, where performers are engaging in sexual acts on camera, it is especially important that consent is explicitly obtained and respected. This can be achieved through the use of consent forms and communication between performers before and during filming.

By discussing these topics, the industry can work towards creating a safer and more respectful environment for all performers and ensure that the rights and well-being of workers are protected.
