Where Do Women Love To Be Touched?

Women And Sex

What You Need To Know

Women can get aroused by looking at other women, even if they're not gay.

Women who feel good about themselves orgasm more easily.

Your partner would rather you cheat physically than emotionally.

"Women feel less guilt about a sexual affair than men."

The study of women's sexuality is relatively new in the grand scale of research history, but now science is finding statistics about it that make most women say, "Duh." Here are a few recent studies that might surprise some men.

1- Women Get Turned On By Other Women

Women tend to become aroused by all sorts of erotica, including scenarios with men, men and women, and just women, which indicates a bisexual arousal pattern. This doesn't mean women all behave in a bisexual manner. Nor does it mean that your wife will be game to bring home the cute receptionist from her office for a three-way. It simply means that many women can be turned on by both thoughts or images of both genders. This is different from most straight men, who only become aroused by heterosexual erotica, and gay men, who mostly become aroused by homosexual material.

2- Women Who Think They're Hot Orgasm Easier

Body image is connected to sexuality for women. Women who are more positive about their own genitals find it easier to orgasm and are more likely to engage in sexual-health-promoting behaviors, such as having regular gynecological exams or performing self-examinations.

3- Women Would Prefer You Cheat

Women fear emotional infidelity from their partners more than physical infidelity, and men fear the opposite. That means long, lingering platonic lunches might drive your gal more crazy than knowing you had a one-time hookup. As for their behavior, women feel less guilt about a sexual affair than men. But they feel a lot of guilt about an emotional affair. 

4- A Woman Can Be Wet And Not Mentally Aroused

Women's brains can separate mental arousal from genital arousal. The two function separately. For instance, even if she is not mentally stimulated, a woman's body can have a physiological reaction to sex. (Thus the confusion of a few rape victims who experience a spontaneous orgasm during the trauma.) It's also how prostitutes can work without actually being turned on by their customers. And women can sometimes be mentally aroused and have trouble becoming wet and wild down below.

5- Women Feel Bonded After Sex

In general, women have less ability to have a stand-alone physical relationship because their bodies release oxytocin during orgasm. Oxytocin, the female-bonding hormone, is also released during breastfeeding. For that reason, women sometimes develop feelings through sex even when they don't mean to. Yes, that's why you keep getting texts from that girl you casually hooked up with.

Free Contraception Is Great for Black Women

Federally funded birth control is great for all women, but Black women especially have reason to celebrate.

By Cord Jefferson

In a landmark decision this week, the federal government has decided to define “birth control” as “preventative health care.” In the past, the U.S. put a distinction between the two, forcing women to shell out a lot of money for what some considered a very basic need. But soon, starting in 2012, private insurers will be forced to provide free contraceptives. And free means no fees or copayments whatsoever.

This is great news for all American women, but Black women in particular have reason to celebrate. For years now African-American women have been excluded from getting really important sexual health services for years. In a piece from summer 2008, the Guttmacher Institute, the nonprofit research organization dedicated to sexual and reproductive policy, noted, “Black women's unintended pregnancy rates are the highest of all. These higher unintended pregnancy rates reflect the particular difficulties that many women in minority communities face in accessing high-quality contraceptive services and in using their chosen method of birth control consistently and effectively over long periods of time.”

In a survey cited on the Huffington Post, 51 percent of African-American women aged 18 to 34 reported having trouble purchasing and consistently using birth control due to its high cost. And because birth control is expensive, many Black low-income women are forced to forego it, choosing instead to have risky unprotected sex. As the Guttmacher Institute notes, that can lead not only to illnesses, but also to plenty of unwanted pregnancies, and thus abortions.

The logic is pretty simple: Provide Black women with access to birth control and you lower the abortion rates in the Black community. And yet conservatives are already coming out against the free birth control. Congressman Steve King, a Republican from Iowa, even suggested that the measure could endanger the human race.

If you think all the crowing is ridiculous, you’re right. The fact is that it’s becoming increasingly difficult to understand the hypocrisy and weird logic of the conservatives in America. On the one hand they want to erect billboards in African-American communities condemning Black abortion rates, and on the other they want to prevent low-income Black women from having easy access to contraception. It makes no sense. Then again, neither does a lot of politics anymore.
