“Roughly 43 per cent of women experience some type of sexual dysfunction at some point in their lives, and it can be down to a lot of totally solvable factors.”

The problem is that, for a long time, heteronormative, partnered sex has been depicted , in such a way that puts primacy on male pleasure. These depictions reinforce a monolithic view of sex , and discounts all other wonderful aspects of sex, like oral, which can be key to pleasure. If you are able to orgasm in other ways, such as through oral sex, make sure you communicate that to your sexual partner, so they know how to make you come.

I had “situational anorgasmia”, which is when you’re only able to have an orgasm in certain circumstances, such as during masturbation or with a certain partner. I interviewed the brilliantabout this some time ago and she told me that the most common reason we see this in women is “people either not knowing enough about how to give themselves pleasure, or not being able to communicate the types of pleasure that work best with a partner”.

Another common factor, she noted, was people “getting distracted during sex, by thoughts that are going through their mind about how close they are to orgasm or what the other person is thinking. Hence they are not present in their body.” That really resonated with me. Once you have a “bad” sexual experience, it’s easy to carry the subsequent anxiety into future sexual experiences, which is obviously a huge distraction.

Whether you’ve never orgasmed before or are struggling to for a specific reason, the best place to start is with self-pleasure. Get to know your body with a great sex toy , and find out what feels good, and what doesn’t, on your own, without the pressure of someone else being there. Once you know what gives you pleasure, you’re in a better position to be able to communicate to a sexual partner how they can give it to you.

Frontiers | A randomized single-blind controlled trial of a prototype digital polytherapeutic for tinnitusObjective: This randomized single-blind controlled trial tested the hypothesis that a prototype digital therapeutic developed to provide goal-based counselling with personalized passive and active game-based sound therapy would provide superior tinnitus outcomes, and similar usability, to a popular passive sound therapy app over a 12 week trial period. Methods: The digital therapeutic consisted of an app for iPhone or Android smartphone, Bluetooth bone conduction headphones, neck pillow speaker and a cloud-based clinician dashboard to enable messaging and app personalization. The control app was a popular self-help passive sound therapy app called White Noise Lite (WN). The primary outcome measure was clinically meaningful change in Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI) between baseline and 12 weeks of therapy. Secondary tinnitus measures were the TFI total score and subscales across sessions, rating scales and the Client Oriented Scale of Improvement in Tinnitus (COSIT). Usability of the US and WN interventions were assessed using the System Usability Scale (SUS) and the mHealth App Usability Questionnaire (MAUQ). Ninety-eight participants who were smartphone app users and had chronic moderate-severe tinnitus (|6 months, TFI score | 40) were enrolled and were randomly allocated to one of the intervention groups. Thirty-one participants in the USL group and 30 in the WN group completed 12 weeks of trial. Results: Mean changes in TFI for the USL group at 6 (16.36, SD 17.96) and 12 weeks (17.83 points, SD 19.87) were clinically meaningful (|13 points reduction), the mean change in WN scores were not clinically meaningful (6 weeks 10.77, SD 18.53; 12 weeks 10.12 points, SD 21.36). A statistically higher proportion of USL participants achieved meaningful TFI change at 6 weeks (55%) and 12 weeks (65%) than the WN group at 6 weeks (33%) and 12 weeks (43%). Mean TFI, rating and COSIT scores favored the US group but were not statistically different from WN. Usability measures wer

Logitech G715Logitech's new wireless gaming keyboard is a dream to type on, but seems to be missing a numpad for that price. But why would a TKL keyboard have a numpad? Looks like keyboards from the 90s are back in style. Logitech has never made a good keyboard, ever. “Gamers” who buy them are using inferior products.
