Hi, I am Jane Thomas, author of Women’s Sexual Behaviours & Responses.
I have concluded that it is no coincidence that we believe that women should orgasm when men would like them to. Women’s own sexual instincts (to obtain male approval) incentivise them to describe lovemaking as orgasmic. Consequently our beliefs about female orgasm more often reflect erotic fiction than research findings. My work explores the inherent contradictions in our current understanding of women’s sexuality and the unrealistic expectations we have for female orgasm.
All of the text (41 articles) from Jane’s booklet Women’s Sexual Behaviours & Responses is available for free via LoveSexIntimacy.org under the top menu heading WOMEN’S SEXUALITY.

The act of mating lies at the heart of men’s sexual drive and women’s emotional desire for family. So heterosexual women’s sexuality, as well as their orgasmic ability, has traditionally always been defined in terms of intercourse. Women’s Sexual Behaviours & Responses provides a fresh interpretation of their findings so that a modern audience can appreciate women’s sexuality (regardless of orientation) in terms of their behaviours and their responses.
Thanks for breaking the silence!
