OOOhhh! AAAAHHHH! MOAN!-Women's orgasms

Why are females more vocal in bed than men? Do they experience an ecstacy men can only dream of, or is it a social expectation and subsequent affectation?

I wish I had a clitoris. :frowning:

I’m not about to google it, but I have heard that females experience more intense orgasms than men. I can personally attest that my orgasms are quite noiseworthy, but I think I need to conduct more research.

Hey, I wonder if women’s propensity to be more gifted in language has anything to do with them being more vocal in bed.

I always thought it was partly because they knew that (many) men like it, and it helps turn the guy on. Also, seems like the guy has to concentrate harder to do his part, which might lead to the silence.

The clitoris has about twice as many nerve endings as the glans penis.

and yet another reason I’m grateful that I’m a woman… wheeeeeeeeeeeeee! :slight_smile:

Oh yeah? Well… we can pee standing up. HA!

You guys obviously haven’t been with the right men. Some guys (like me) are extremely vocal; the sounds just come out spontaneously. My Guy, on the other hand, is the strong, silent type. Everyone’s unique.

Has it ever been established that women are more noisy? Or is it possibly just a hollywood stereotype. I have been with some noisy women and some quiet women, but since I have never been in bed with a man, all I have to go on is movies and tv. I am not prepared to believe they are necesarily accurate.I can just here my old sociology professor drone on about how women are portrayed as louder to enhance the male ego. That women are portrayed as the passive recipient of pleasure by the virile male. Who knows, I guess you will have to have sex with alot of people of both genders and report back to us.

I wonder if it is an accepted way of the woman to show that she is enjoying it. Stereotypical Man always enjoys sex so there’s no need for vocal confirmation from him.

This post may be TMI. Then again, we’re in a sex thread.

I think the OP is suffering from confirmation bias. As far as pornography, well, I wouldn’t look towards it too seriously in regards to the female orgasm. I’ve seen more than my fair share and the men in it (who we can at least confirm are truly orgasming) seem to run the gamut from silent to animalistic screaming, and I am personally fairly vocal, so I don’ t see where the OP is ahh, coming from in thinking men are quieter. Unless you’re somewhere you shouldn’t or there are children about, why would you want to be quiet anyway? :wink:

You are aware that the glans is just the head, right?

Anyway, cite? Every place I look says otherwise. The clitoris and penis are homologous organs. The amount of nerves is about the same. It is generally true, however, that the nerves are more dense (since a clitoris is er, usually much smaller than a penis. YMMV) so it should be more sensitive. And then there are the rest of the nerves in the woman’s genitals – I could understand some jealousy there.

Personally, I’m more jealous of the possibilities for multiple orgasms. After one or two I feel dead.

Moved to IMHO, and changed title to be more descriptive.

samclem.

Cosmo is always telling us to scream out, because men are dumb and need to be told when they’re doing a good job :wink:
(that’s not what I said, it’s what Cosmo says!)

Well I am partially vocal I guess, same with my boyfriend. I breathe heavily and that generally turns into groaning. The best orgasms are make my teeth tingle though :smiley:

Well, I’ve been with two quiet men, and then my husband, who is more “noisy” than the other two when he orgasms, but certainly not a screamer.

I once questioned him, offering to do more things that turned him on if he would indulge his fantasies, or, if there was something I already did, if I could do more of it. He confessed that every girl he’d been with before me (a whopping three women) had been very quiet during sex and orgasm. He said he was really happy that I was so much more vocal, because it felt like a confirmation that he was doing the right thing.

I’m generally noisy during the entire act… there’s a feeling that, unless you have a vagina, is kind of hard to explain. I could probably keep it quiet, but sex is such a release for me, so I don’t hold back at all. Thrusting, even when done gently, is a strange feeling inside, and tends to yank some interesting sounds from my lips, to be sure. When things get faster, I get breathy - er… it’s like being punched in the gut, but much more pleasant. Bah. I can’t compare it to anything, so it’s very hard to explain. The thing is, once I get started making those noises, it’s very easy to get louder and more frequent and of course, out of breath, as the big O approaches. There’s an amount of muscle work and pressure I’m putting out, as well, in order to reach it, so that goes toward the noises made. Think about the noise you make when you go to push a large, heavy object. It’s… similar. But more pleasant. As I said before.

Maaaaaybe someone could explain it better? :smack:

I couldn’t.

Wow anastaseon, you make sex for women sound strange. Like getting punched in the stomach, like pushing a heavy object? Are you sure you are doing it right? :slight_smile:

But much more pleasant! :stuck_out_tongue:

Well, I’m a man who’s only been with men, yet Anastasaeon’s description seems very accurate to me. Not that it’s **always **like that, but in the best of times, it is.

Okay, the best thing I can come up with that doesn’t sound violent or tedious: thrusting inside the vagina elicits gasps. It’s easier to let those gasps out than to hold them in. A steady moaning can release the same air as the gasps would. And once you’re already making the noises, it’s easy to let them build up as orgasm approaches and the pressure builds.

I’m still not totally satisfied with the description. I’m going to go have sex with my husband now. The bedroom needs rearranging and I feel like pushing some heavy objects. :smiley:
