Not only that: t\u00e9leclitoridiennes, mesoclitoridiennes, and paraclitoridiennes! While it’s not unheard of for me to make a Star Wars reference to a client, I’m not talking about science fiction here. The clitoridiennes are names for women according to their vagina type. Vagina type?! Yes.<\/p>\n
In the 1920’s, Marie Bonaparte took it upon herself (quite literally) to study her lack of vaginal orgasms. She concluded that distance between clitoris and vaginal opening greatly affected a woman’s ability to orgasm. She grouped her study respondents into the aforementioned categories.<\/p>\n
Paraclitoridiennes<\/strong><\/span> have a distance of less than one inch between their C and their V. They tend to have regular orgasms from vaginal sex. I bring this up because it’s a reason to approach one’s own struggle to orgasm with more matter-of-factness. Most women are either t\u00e9leclitoridiennes or mesoclitoridiennes.<\/em> Struggling to orgasm vaginally should be expected, and accommodated. So have other kinds of sex, too!<\/p>\n This sort of thing is a good example of how increased knowledge and communication between partners can assuage a lot of heartache and stress. Learn about yourself. Learn about your partner. Learn how to talk to each other clearly and openly. This is what couples therapy is all about!<\/p>\n
\nT\u00e9leclitoridiennes<\/strong><\/span> have a distance greater than one inch, and thus infrequently to never orgasm from vaginal sex. This is what fingers, tongues, and wands<\/a> are for.
\nMesoclitoridiennes<\/strong><\/span> land, you guessed it, at right around one inch between C and V. As the lovely Mary Roach puts it in Bonk<\/a>, “They fell on either side, depending on their mood, their husband’s compensatory skills, his feelings about Greek sprinters, and what have you.”<\/p>\n
