Both the penis and the clitoris develop from the same tissue in the embrio.
And it turns out women get erections too: The clitoris is actually quite
large and it expands greatly when aroused. Only the very tip of it is typically
visible. The rest wraps back around the vagina and is stimulated during vaginal
sex.
The index finger grows longer in proportions to the amount of Estrogen present
in the womb prior to birth. The ring finger grows longer in proportion to
the prenatal levels of Testosterone.
The amount of Testosterone present in the womb prior to birth when
compared to the amount of Estrogen, determines a number of things in men:
How large his penis is, how good he smells to women, and how much women will
enjoy watching him move. But watch out: High Testosterone is also linked
to higher rates of cheating and divorce. Women on the other hand, are more
likely to be fertile if the had more Estrogen and more likely to be un-inhibited,
easy to arouse, and have more sexual partners if they got more Testosterone.
Sexual response depends on the balance between arousal and inhibition.
Alcohol reduces inhibitions mentally and in some cases physically.
Feelings of safety reduce inhibitions. So fears about STD's or possible pregnancy
will reduce arousal... Duh. Some women are very turned on by risk, and others
are very turned off. Women do not always respond to very attractive men,
simply because they may not feel they are a good match based on their own
self esteem and body image. It may be that they are inhibited thinking that
some man is too attractive for them. Reputation is an important safety issue
for almost all women.
There are two different types of arousal: Mental and physical. And they have
almost nothing to do with each other. Women, for example, will respond physically
to ANY sexual stimulation no matter how disgusting or contrary to what they
want. This is a simple physical response to protect their sexual organs from
damage when they may be forceable penetrated. Mental arousal varies greatly
between people. For example, most are more likely to be aroused when happy,
but a significant minority are aroused when depressed or upset.
The most popular fantasy with women, for 55% of women, is one of submission,
although NOT rape. It removes the need to make decisions and allows one to
enjoy the act without guilt. It may also be that the increase in power and
responsibility for women in modern times has increased the need to give the
rains over to another. The second most popular fantasy (35%) is of watching
two men have sex (without participating). There is a strong separation between
fantasy and any actual desire to do something.
While there is no known reproductive advantage to womens orgasm, the chemical
/ hormonal responses found in the body are akin to those experienced during
heart attacks, extreme sports, or life and death situations. It may be that
the release of oxytocin during an orgasm may cause the womb to contract and
make it easier for sperm to enter, or it may just help forge an emotional
bond, as it is well known to do. The release of dopamine in the brain during
orgasm is equal to that of a shot of heroin, but the body and mind seem better
able to manage any possible addiction. The release of adrenaline was equal
to the levels found in a heart attack or extreem sports.
Most women find a difference in the type of orgasm between vaginal, and clitoral
stimulation and stimulation of the g-spot. The g-spot is the opening to the
urethra and stimulation of it to orgasm may cause female ejaculation. The
fluid does not come from urine but instead from the female equivalent of
the prostate gland.
The most reliable way for a women to reach orgasm is with a sex toy or vibrator.
Around the end of the 1800's well to do women would go to doctors for
"treatments" where they would be stimulated to orgasm; it was for these
treatments the vibrators were first developed. The feeling of well-being
after an orgasm is the most important benefit for most women. Brain scans
show that the female and male orgasm are identical.
