The distance between your clitoris and vagina may affect your orgasm, a new study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine claims.
Researchers used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure 30 women’s clitorises – 10 of whom had reported having trouble reaching orgasm. As it turns out, those 10 women tended to have clitorises that were further apart from their vaginal opening.
Kim Wallen, Ph. D., professor of psychology and behavorial neuroendocrinology at Emory University says that one theory is that a shorter clitoris-to-vagina distance allows for more and easier stimulation.
The 10 women who had trouble reaching orgasm also had smaller clitorises, but there isn’t enough data at this time to confirm whether clitoral size has any effect on orgasm intensity or frequency, says study author Susan Oakley, M.D., instructor of female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery at Good Samaritan Hospital in Ohio.
This research only finds a correlation between clitoral distance and orgasms, not a causation. More in-depth research is still needed to determine whether a woman’s anatomy really affects her orgasm.
Thankfully, you don’t need an MRI scan to get maximum pleasure. In fact, the amount of direct clitoral stimulation has a lot more to do with how likely you are to orgasm than the placement or size of your clitoris, says Oakley.
What are your thoughts on this study? 😉
