Life has sucked up my time allocated to the Internet. My web site has become woefully out-of-date, my blog is weeks behind, and my email box is overflowing with unread emails. But I’m struggling to get caught up. Tonight, I selected the last item — the easiest of the bunch — and stumbled upon a link to a June 22nd article from the Sydney Herald that I’d emailed myself. So forgive me if this is old news to most of you, but I just had to share …
From I’ll have what she’s having, I gleaned a lot of interesting tidbits that I may be able to put to use in my next book. Namely:
- Job opportunities abound for “orgasm theorists,” as they appear to be under-represented.
- Poor diet, too much caffeine, and not enough fish oil may be to blame for my inability to have 52 vaginal orgasms in one session.
- For the first time ever, there is now an accurate map of the clitoris.
- News Flash: Researchers now believe that women can have a physical arousal and psychological arousal but they are two quite different processes. [Astonishing! I did not know that.]
- Women coming up today are used to having orgasms and decent sex, unlike “older” women. [Wow. Guess I just imagined having orgasms and great sex.]
Okay. I’m being a bit sarcastic here. But despite the article’s eye-rolling paragraphs, there are quite a few that I found interesting (and I do think diet impacts all areas of life) and I am happy to see attention — and dollars — being spent on studying women’s orgasm. What are your thoughts?

Very interesting article, Rachelle. Hmm, I’m not sure I WANT 52 orgasms in one session. However, I do say an orgasm a day keeps the doctor away (apples are passe in my opinion). I thought it was also interesting that the article could say “masturbation” in terms of adolescent males, but when talking about it for females, it was referred to as “stimulation of the reproductive tract.” I asked my husband what that meant. He just looked at me and said “Du-uh! How to say masturbation in five words or more.”

Yes, I’m with you, Jasmine. I almost hate to say this but … 52 orgasms in one session almost sounds like torture. LOL In this case, quite possibly too much of a good thing. And yes, I did notice that “quaint” turn of phrase (along with several others).
