Ummm, NO that’s not how it always works. Not with ordinary intercourse.

Again, according to Masters and Johnson, only about 25% of women are able to achieve orgasm through plain old intercourse.

The CAT (coital alignment technique) is making some pretty good strides in allowing female orgasm during intercourse though.

But for most of us, some sort of direct (read: hands, tongue, etc) is necessary.
