An article

Obviously written by a woman who comes easily from oral sex and clitoral stimulation.

Women's orgasms aren't elusive...women's orgasms aren't elusive...

It's the same go-girl-pro-clitshit that women have been fed from cosmo and ms. and glamour and everywhere. If you're not having orgasms, you're down with the patriarchy.

There are some people who can, by concentrating very, very hard, and breathing and using their muscles in just the right way...affect their own heart rate and breathing. Ingrid Bergman could cry one tear out of either eye on command. Some people can move either eyebrow consciously and independantly. I can. Eysenk designed a test that proved that extroverted people produce higher volumes of saliva than introverted people. Human physiognomy is wonderfully diverse. Human sexual response, being both psychologically and physiologically based, is even more so. Any argument that depends on the
