Study Investigates the Complexity of Women's Orgasms

How do women reach orgasm? It's a complicated question with many factors at play. Physiology, anatomy, emotional and physical health, and beliefs about sex are just some examples. 

Still, women's orgasm is a popular research topic among scientists. Our latest blog post discusses a recent Finnish study that compiles the results of five sex surveys taken between 1971 and 2015. 

The researchers share what they learned about women's first orgasms, the importance of orgasms, and the ways women climax.  (Note: This blog post is the first of a two-part discussion of the Finnish study. Watch this space for news about part two!)

Research suggests that that men who use marijuana more frequently are more likely to have sexual problems, such as weak erections and premature ejaculation.

How Many Women Have Low Sexual Desire?

​Low sexual desire is a common problem for women at midlife, a recent Journal of Sexual Medicine study reports.

​In a survey of over 2,000 Australian women between the ages of 40 and 65, 70% of the participants had low sexual desire. 

​Just over 40% felt distress over their sex lives, and about a third met the criteria for hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD).
