A Brief Sexual History Lesson
About the turn of the 20th century, Freud was generating his own revolution about the nature of sexuality. He said there were two kinds of orgasm: clitoral and vaginal, or in Tantric terms clio and yoni. Freud convinced many that clio (clitoral) orgasms were immature. According to him, it took a real woman to have a yoni orgasm.
In contrast, pioneering sex researchers, like Kinsey in the 50s and Masters & Johnson in the 60s, believed that only clio was responsible for women’s orgasms. The good news was that these findings spurred vibrator-wielding feminists to teach women that they could develop their orgasmic potential.
The bad news was that, depending on whom they listened to, many people ignored a valuable source of female sexual pleasure. (Don’t worry, I´m not going to take sides in this silly debate.)
Fortunately, the pendulum began to swing back in 1982. Public consciousness, fueled by scientific research and growing comfort with the sexual revolution, opened to other orgasmic triggers.
Make Love Not Controversy
Don’t expect your family doctor, or even your OB/GYN to know very much about sex. In most medical schools, the training devoted to sexuality is either non-existent or minimal. A few medical schools increased their emphasis on sexuality in the 70s and 80s, but many of them have cut back since then. So it’s no surprise that the controversies over the existence of the G-Spot, different kinds of orgasms, and female ejaculation continue to this day in the medical community.
It’s only been since the late 90s that medical research began to take seriously the notion that women’s sexuality operates differently than men’s. At last, serious investigation is underway into the unique sexual anatomy and physiology of the female that will ultimately support women in leading joyful sex lives. What you’ll read here is based on the most recent findings.
Women Are Different, Duh
We understand the frustration of male-dominated sciences being unable to describe female sexuality with simple linear models and reproducible formulas. The fundamental fact that keeps appearing in our reading, research, and client work is that each woman is different. Although there are some general commonalties, each woman will have her proclivities, her preferences, and her own kind of orgasms.
Her pleasure, her sensitivity, and her climaxes will differ based on factors within and without: her mood, her hormones, her level of arousal, her connection to her partner, her openness to passion, and her acceptance of her own sexuality.
Those of us who honor the Goddess and specialize in the study and practice of sex know without a doubt that the Sacred Gate exists. As does clio. It doesn’t take an expert to prove that they both can help you explode with passion if you want.
Never fear, your partner´s G-Spot is alive and well and living inside. When you discover exactly what it wants, it can shower you and your lover with delicious peaks of pleasure.
EXERCISE: History Discussion Questions
Here are some questions to journal, reflect on, or talk about…
