The OG G-Spot Paper Summary
I summarize/review a 1950 article often mentioned as one of the first modern discussions of the ‘G-Spot.’ However, it was not called that at the time because the term “G-Spot” was actually coined in about 1980 in a paper after Grafenberg - the author of this here paper we will be summarizing. It's not a study, but more of an editorial, and it's a mixed bag. There's progressive stuff said, incorrect assertions (because it's 1950 and we know more now), and some kinda unhinged, bonkers statements.
Are 18.4% - 50.4% of Women Really Able to Orgasm from Penetration Only? A Journal Article Review
The parts of this research related to genital touch preferences are valid and important. But…do these professional sexual researchers not see the bias in the questions/answer options related to intercourse orgasm?…It’s outlandish at times. The current educated, progressive paradigm of sex research/education/advise involves an unwavering belief that it is a known fact some women are able to have orgasms attained though stimulation inside the vaginal canal. If pressed, they couldn’t tell you the actual mechanism for this orgasm or even one study where the muscular reactions of orgasm have ever been recorded from this kind of stimulation, but the belief is strong, and the way they speak and the research they do reflects that - this paper is no exception.

Was the clitoris really discovered in 1998? (spoiler alert - it wasn't) - An Article I Read

30% Is A Stat About Female Orgasm, But It's Not What You Think...probably, unless you read my blog a lot...
30% is often used as the percentage of women that can orgasm vaginally. The reality is that there’s no physical evidence any women at all can orgasm vaginally, and even looking at surveys (where there’s no physical evidence to back up what people say) 30% is still a really high estimate. This post goes over the details about where this number comes from and what it ctually can and can’t say about female orgasmic experience.
