Study Says Women Use 4 Specific Techniques To Up Their Pleasure During Sex

"The findings, which were drawn from the "pleasure report" by the instructional website OMGYES, and published in the journal PLOS ONE, come from a survey of more than 3,000 women, ages 18 to 93, from across the United States. Women were asked how they tend to increase their own pleasure during sex. (This particular study focused specifically on vaginal penetration, and the majority of the respondents identified as heterosexual.)"

"Nearly 90% of the respondents said they use "angling," which involves rotating, raising or lowering their pelvis and hips during vaginal penetration in order to adjust where a sex toy or penis rubs in the vagina. Roughly 84% of women said they make vaginal penetration more pleasurable by using "shallowing," or some kind of penetrative touch just inside of the entrance of the vagina."

Surveyed more than 3,000 U.S. women ages 18 to 93 about how they increase pleasure during vaginal penetration; majority identified as heterosexual. Four techniques were identified: angling (rotating, raising, or lowering the pelvis and hips to change where contact occurs); shallowing (penetrative touch just inside the vaginal entrance); rocking (staying fully inside so the base of a penis or toy rubs the clitoris instead of thrusting); and pairing (simultaneous clitoral stimulation by finger or toy during penetration). Use rates were about 90% for angling, 84% for shallowing, 76% for rocking, and 70% for pairing. Naming techniques aims to improve communication and empower sexual agency.
