Subjectified
A write up mostly about the orgasm discussions in a fab book by Suzannah Weiss called Subjectified. I am happy to say no bonkers statements about the orgasm - mostly just sensible and thoughtful ones, and there's lots of non-orgasm related stuff worth reading too.
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.
The Disappearance of Shere Hite
The 2023 movie The Disappearance of Shere Hite is an absolutely fabulous watch. I highly recommend. It not only discusses her important, informed, and (still) radical assertions about female orgasm and masturbation, but it also goes into so much more of her incredible life. Unfortunately the backlash to her forward thinking and boldness was severe and mirrors so much of our world today.
Human Sexual Response - Summary Section 1
The summary of Section 1, chapters 1 and 2, of Human Sexual Response by Masters and Johnson…a truly fundamental study in the physiology of orgasm.
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.
