Why Women Have Sex

Welcome to my Why Women Have Sex book summary!

“..vaginally induced orgasms are no more meaningful, intense, or pleasurable than clitorally induced orgasms [although women have their preference].” (p. 41)

One-Sentence-Summary: Literally answering the question ‘why do women have sex’, but on a surface level and without any useful information to be applied in the real world.

I’ve paused reading Why Women Have Sex by Cindy M. Meston, PhD and David M. Buss PhD. Current page: 69

“If stimulation is stopped, during either clitoral or vaginal induced orgasms, the orgasm is abruptly halted.” (p. 39)

booboo real-time book rating: ★★☆☆☆ (percentage of books with this rating: 14%)

In good form, I read to page 69. This book did not deliver on my expectations.

“Taking short breaks during sexual activity to focus on other errogenous zones allows the nerve endings in the vagina time to regain their sensitivity.” (p. 33)

“..’empty love.’ These are the people you see eating together silently in restaurants, who love each other largely out of a sense of duty or lack of options.” (p. 53-4)

This blog will contain both my summary and review of the book Why Women Have Sex.

“82 percent of the college women surveyed said that nipple or breast stimulation either caused or increased their sexual arousal.” (p. 30)

As I read the book, you will find my in-progress Why Women Have Sex review and book summary notes below.

“The most commonly cited erogenoius zones are the neck, earlobes, mouth, lips, breasts and miples, genitalia, buttocks, inner thighs, anus, backs of the knees, fingers, and toes.” (p. 29)

“Once people are in close proximity, eye contact becomes important.” (p. 4)

Did you know I’m an author? I wrote four books on real estate investing, travel, and language learning.

“..we tend to like the people we see often more than those we see less frequently.” (p. 3)

“..two most common reasons why women experience orgasm problems are that they are not receiving enough pleasurable stimulation for an orgasm to occur or that something is distracting them from focusing on the pleasurable stimulation.” (p. 44)

Thanks for visiting and thanks to Cindy M. Meston, PhD and David M. Buss PhD for writing Why Women Have Sex!
