Sexologists, researchers, authors and 'experts' contacted by journalists, please make the tough decision to say 'we just don't know' rather than repeat things you've heard others say.
Brava to
@suzannahweiss
for doing the hard work of tracking down sources and asking uncomfortable questions to show that often repeated "research findings" about sex and pleasure are frequently misleading or downright untrue.

It’s a thing! 46% of women get hard pressure against their entire vulva by “grinding” - rubbing against mattresses, pillows, other objects or parts of their partner's body. 11% do this just by grinding their own thighs together. Learn more:

We expect better from you guys,
@TeenVogue
! There's so much useful, practical, evidence-based truth out there to report.
Seeing regular people open up about these discoveries from their experience is a powerful way to take them in. Here's one of the study respondents sharing from inside , our public-facing resource that funds our research.

Sex journalists and editors, more clicks or a more authoritative article are not worth the harm of perpetuating myths. Know that other journalists will recycle the un-fact-checked facts you put in your articles/books.

Over a lifetime, individuals may discover only ~1/3 of the types of touch that have surfaced in these studies. Seeing the full palate of collective discoveries, women and their partners can better experiment, identify what feels good, name it & communicate about it.

Why is this important?
Acquiring more granularity and specific words for what you find pleasurable, and seeing that those preferences are shared by lots of people, have been shown to increase sexual agency, advocacy and pleasure.

Amazing there weren't even names for these preferences that women and their partners must have been discovering for thousands of years. As

‘Anal sex’ has long been narrowly defined as in-and-out penetration. But now we know that...
40% of women enjoy ‘Anal Surfacing’: sexual touch on and around (not in) the anus.

40% of women enjoy ‘Anal Pairing’: touch on or inside the anus at the same time as vaginal penetration or clitoral touch.
35% of women enjoy ‘Anal Shallowing’: touch just inside the anal opening, no deeper than a fingertip/knuckle.

We have a paper coming out soon - the first-ever large-scale research about discoveries around specific techniques for pleasure from anal touch. And most of it is not or barely penetrating! 🥂 The info is also in Season 2 of OMGYES :)
