When it comes to female sexuality, there’s so much we still don’t get. From understanding orgasms to dealing with dysfunction and knowing what women really want, there’s a lot of confusion out there. Unlike men, where we’ve got plenty of info, women’s sexuality is often overlooked. Blame it on the fact that most research has been focused on men, leaving us knowing more about the penis than the clitoris. And let’s face it, both men and women could do with brushing up on their knowledge of the female anatomy.

So, here are some eye-opening facts about female sexuality. First off, did you know that a vaginal orgasm is actually just an internal clitoral orgasm? Yep, the clitoris is where it’s at when it comes to pleasure. It’s got around 8,000 sensory nerve fibers under its hood, which is almost double the number on the tip of the penis. And here’s the kicker – most of it is tucked away inside the vagina.

Now, let’s talk about sex drive. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not just men who think about getting busy all the time. Recent surveys show that over half of women aren’t getting as much action as they’d like. In fact, a whopping three-quarters of women want to have sex at least three times a week. So, yeah, women have needs too.

But here’s something shocking from history: back in the 19th century, horny women were labeled as mentally ill. Yep, if a woman showed any sexual urges, she was considered insane. They even had a name for it – “hysteria.” Symptoms included things like getting too wet down there and having erotic fantasies. And guess what the treatment was? Pelvic massage. Can you imagine that? Thankfully, we’ve come a long way since then!
