This study — which spoke to women in the US and was published in the science journal Plos One - is all about making that sexual language more accessible for women, so they can talk about what works for them. Angling refers to a woman moving her pelvis; so rotating, raising, or lowering her pelvis or hips to adjust the angle at which either the penis, sex toy or finger is penetrating the vagina. This refers to rocking the base of a penis or sex toy so it rubs against the woman's clitoris consistently, rather than with an in and out motion. It's an idea of consistent pressure. Shallowing refers to penetrative touch — from either lips, a tongue, a penis, fingers or a sex toy — but just inside the entrance of the vagina, so a shallow entrance. This refers to a woman herself, solo pairing or with a partner known as partner pairing.

Hear what female pleasure really sounds like by listening to orgasms recorded by women like you, who are willing to remove the taboos imposed by society and by ourselves. Bijoux Indiscrets, the brand of erotic products made by and for women, in an effort to show the full gamut of female sexuality, has conducted a study to determine how fiction conditions our desires, expectations and sexual behaviour. To help to change these ideas it has created the Orgasm Library of Real Sounds , showing the way that female pleasure, your pleasure, really sounds. Based on this commitment, we are conducting an in-depth study to explore the prejudices and taboos that influence and condition our sexual behaviour, such as the fictional view of sex and female masturbation. Pornographic and romantic films are extremely influential on our desires, expectations and sexual behaviour.
