DO you ever wish your man would stop messing with the massage oils and get down to the deadly deed?
Well, you are not alone, ladies.
Contrary to popular belief, a study in Prague has found that women are more likely to orgasm through a longer stint of actual intercourse, rather than foreplay beforehand.
But, with the journey to the big O top of the list for most of us – how many of us in reality would prefer the act itself over a sensual build-up of touching and kissing?
Sexpert Petra Boynton explains: “The difficulty with studies like this one, is that they demonstrate their findings under the assumption that foreplay and sexual intercourse are entirely separate to one another, when generally, they are not.
“Women in the study may claim to prefer penetrative sex alone, but I very much doubt that their sexual encounters consisted of their man pulling out his penis and inserting it into their vagina without any kissing, touching or stroking at all.
“The likelihood is that the women in the study like the act just as much as the build-up, not instead of it.
"Publicising this kind of report sets the kind of standards that can put more pressure on couples to have the ‘right’ sex life when there is no real ‘wrong’ or ‘right' between the sheets.
“It is also impossible to make such a sweeping statement that women ‘prefer’ intercourse. For everyone, the type of sex we enjoy can vary depending on our moods or situation.
“A foreplay-less ten minute quickie before we get up for work, for instance, might be perfectly acceptable, while a Saturday evening in with our man may happily turn into a more drawn-out affair.
“In my opinion, the key is to get a healthy dose of both in the way you enjoy them – rather than worrying about how others get on between the sheets.” |
