Women seeking a man

Around 5% preferred it when their partner avoided the clitoris altogether. Of those that preferred indirect stimulation, the majority preferred touching "through the skin above the hood," while a smaller number preferred touching "through both lips pushed together (like a sandwich)." Fewer than 10% of women enjoyed stimulation to their mons pubis – the squishy area of tissue above the pubic bone.

When asked about their ideal techniques, two thirds preferred direct clitoral stimulation. The majority of women said that some orgasms feel better than others, whereas 10.8% reckoned they all feel the same. An additional 36% said that clitoral stimulation wasn’t necessary, but made for a better orgasm. Their answers were revealing: More than 36% of women reported needing clitoral stimulation to reach orgasm, while less than a fifth reported that intercourse alone was sufficient.
