International Female Orgasm Day, a woman’s right to pleasure.
Well, well, well… I’ve just learnt something rather interesting from a friend!
Did you know that 8 August is Día Internacional del Orgasmo Femenino? That’s Spanish for International Female Orgasm Day!
Not to be confused with International Orgasm Day, of course – that was back in July, and believe you me, I did not miss that, me being the naughty self-serving girl I am.
Nope, today is all about celebrating a woman’s right to reach sexual climax. And thank God for that. Latest statistics into global sexual behaviour have revealed just one-third of women actually ever experience one. Now, doesn’t this simple statistics speaks volumes to you lads? Come on, pick up your game! One third? How sad is that? I feel so blessed as a sensual therapist, but most of all I feel blessed for being Self-reliant! (get the message?! loool).
Apparently, women have the Councillor of the Brazilian people in Esperantina, Arimateio Dantas to thank for today’s celebration. Who was, by all accounts, a very thoughtful man.
The story goes that Mr Dantas wanted to compensate his wife for some “sexual debts” and so he proposed a day dedicated to the female orgasm. Now, this makes me wonder whether on that day the poor thing got to orgasm at all or not?
The movement really kicked off, and according to International Business Times, is now one of the most popular holidays in Brazil – and elsewhere. Brazil…I have friends from there, and believe me, they know how to celebrate!
And why not? As popular mummy blogger Mrs Woog put it over at The Hoopla: “There’s a fantastic excuse to spend the day in bed, if ever I have heard one.”
That might not be as far-fetched an idea as in sounds. According to the founders of International Orgasm Day, most religions consider orgasm an act of prayer used to focus the mind on divinity while in the act of creation. And if I was to comment on this, the only think I would say that orgasms are my religion as a woman and as a self-funded sensual masseuse!
And here are some other things to tickle your fancy about this special day…
Sensual Therapist Gabby’s new look
You can have a hands-free orgasm: At least according to Lady Gaga, who once told reporters she can “think” herself to climax. While Betty Dodson, a New York-based sex educator told The Huffington Post that thinking and talking about sex during foreplay could improve the overall experience. And as an expert in this particular feald, I can happily report, this is true-word of an sensual therapist!
Most women need at least 20 minutes to orgasm during sexual intercourse: Men on the other hand, are believed to need an average of seven minutes. Think of the old lady for a few more minutes lads!
An orgasm can relieve pain: Firstly because having an orgasm is relaxing and distracting and secondly, because of the chemical and emotional rush you experience.
The older you are, the better the orgasm: An American study reported in The Women’s Day found that 70 per cent of women between 40 and 50 achieved orgasm during sex, compared with 65 per cent of women in their 30s. Better understanding of your body and your partners, plus assumed greater trust and intimacy are believed to account for this. This is good news, thanks God for that! Way to go for me then!
I love that there’s a special day dedicated to female pleasure. Not just because it’s a wonderfully naughty excuse for a celebration, but because it’s a reminder that women deserve to feel confident, comfortable and happy with their bodies.
And if there’s one thing I’ve learnt as a sensual therapist, it’s that pleasure is personal. Everyone is different, and discovering what makes you happy is all part of the fun.
So ladies, never be shy about knowing what you want.
And gentlemen? Listen, learn, take your time… and perhaps you’ll earn a little extra appreciation!
Happy International Female Orgasm Day!
Gabby, With love, and a very naughty smile! xxx
p.s. And ladies, I think we deserve a little celebration, don’t you?
