ultguideanalWhat do women think about sex? When are they happist? How do they communicate with their partners? These are all questions that Elle asked its readers in a large survey that they recently published. Now, bear in mind that these are readers of Elle who chose to respond, so it's not the most scientific survey, but it's still an interesting look at women's pleasure.Over 75,000 people answered the survey and overall, women are very happy with their sex lives.Oral SexWomen who climax more now than they did during the early days of their relationships receive oral sex at least half the time and say that they are good communicators in bed. Half of the respondents said they had oral sex the last time they were sexually intimate.Trying new thingsHalf of the respondents also said they read articles or books to help improve their sex lives. I think that's a great number and I wish it was more. Books can give us new ideas and explain things we've never understood before. I hope that some of those participants read some of my favorites like: Sex Toys 101, Sensuous Magic, and the Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women.7 in 10 respondents also said that sex was better when they experimented. This included new positions and date nights. I bet if they'd asked, they would have found that these women were also trying sex toys. Maybe we can write to Elle and ask them to include questions about vibrators in their survey.For more results, check out the full survey online.
