Research Women today are more adventurous and self-confident during sex

Women have become more adventurous and self-confident in sex than in the past. This shows a long-term study. However, many women also have problems to come to a climax. A vaginal orgasm, according to scientists, anyway not.

Young women have become more adventurous with sex
Women are more adventurous in sex today than they were years ago. But they also attach more importance to loyalty in the relationship. This is the result of a German study. Since the 1960s, the long-term study "Student Sexuality in Transition" of the Institute for Sexual Research and Forensic Psychiatry of the University of Hamburg-Eppendorf has investigated what makes women sexually excited and how they like to shape their love life. Their conclusion has now been presented in the news magazine "Spiegel". This shows that young women are more self-confident with their love life today than they were 20 years ago.

Bondage and role-playing games
According to the information about 2,100 German students were willing to give the researchers information about their sexual habits, fantasies and desires. 44 percent of those surveyed said they would like to watch erotic films with their partner. In 1996, only 29 percent declared that. Even sex toys are more popular with young women nowadays. For example, 38 percent of the study participants said they used a dildo or vibrator; 20 years ago, only 11 percent did so. About 36 percent of respondents said they had a weakness for bondage games, in 1969 it was just half that number. It also showed that today's women are more open-minded about role-play: 20 percent find it a good way to practice this method in their love life, compared to eleven percent 20 years ago. That such fantasies are not really unusual, also Canadian scientists have found in a study. Last year, they talked about what sex fantasies are still normal and explained, among other things, that the popularity of the novel "Shades of Gray" has to do with such sex desires.

Cheating is a big taboo for most women
As the Hamburg study shows, for the majority of the interviewees alienation despite all experimentation joy is an absolute taboo. Eighty-five percent of the participants stated that loyalty is the most important thing in a relationship. In the 1980s, respondents were not so sure. At that time, around 36 percent said they had been unfaithful. Only eight percent of them reported having betrayed their partner before. When masturbating young women are apparently still shy. According to the "Spiegel", only 43 percent of 16 to 19-year-old girls admitted to having satisfied themselves before.

Every fourth woman has problems to reach orgasm
But even if women want to try more on sex today, every fourth of them has problems reaching orgasm. This number is given by Kirsten von Sydow, who works as a psychological psychotherapist in Hamburg and as a professor at the Psychologische Hochschule Berlin in her book "Sexuality in Couple Relations", which she published together with her colleague Andrea Seiferth. In an interview with "Spiegel Online" she said: "Probably the real number is even higher. Sigmund Freud and his legend are guilty of the allegedly "mature vaginal orgasm", according to which women should come to a climax only through penetration. This is possible for some, but not for many. "

Is there vaginal orgasm??
In recent decades, numerous studies have dealt with the subject. Some experts say there is no vaginal orgasm. For example, the Italian sexologist Dr. Vincenzo Puppo from Bologna, together with his wife Giulia, published a study in the journal "Clinical Anatomy", which concludes that there is no anatomical structure in a vagina that could lead to a sexual climax. Therefore, terms such as "vaginal orgasm" or "G-spot" are nothing more than fantasy. (Ad)
