Pelvic-floor training alone can spark orgasms, study suggests

A case study of a postmenopausal woman trained in pelvic-floor and breathwork shows she can induce orgasms without genital stimulation, accompanied by a prolactin surge similar to genital orgasms. The findings, measured via blood markers and a vaginal pressure device, indicate NGSOs are biologically real and potentially trainable, though the study’s single participant limits generalizability and calls for larger, deeper research into brain activity and broader applications.

Large study finds women’s sexual attractions and fantasies are more fluid than men’s

A massive analysis of 56,892 participants across three online datasets found that men show more gender-specific attraction and fantasies, while women exhibit a broader range of attractions and more non-preferred gender interest. Straight men were most exclusive; patterns among gay and lesbian participants varied. The study used direct self-reports and indirect measures (IAT and qIAT) and discusses implications for sexuality theories, including the roles of social norms and objectification. Limitations include online samples and reliance on proxy measures rather than physiological arousal.
