Mostly straight. -- age 19

Totally or mostly straight, not 100% sure on that. The most I've ever done with a girl is kissing, for a guy's benefit, but I like the way the female body looks. It turns me on, if I'm completely honest. I don't know if I could ever act on those particular urges, though. A threesome with a friend and my husband is fun to fantasize about, too. (Wow I hope you don't think I'm super kinky or something!) So, yeah, I don't know if that makes me bisexual or not. Sorry for the long answer that's basically an "I don't know!" -- age 27

Mostly straight. I've had sex with women a couple of times, but I'm not sexually attracted to women. -- age 35.

How much sex have you been having the last six months compared to your peers--less, more, about the same?

Who knows how much sex my peers are having? about the same? maybe more, just because i have no standards. -- age 21

Much less. In the last 6 months, I've only had sex twice and both times were 4 months ago. My marriage is having quite the dry spell :-(-- age 28

More. -- age 19

I wouldn't know, we don't talk about it much. When we do, we talk more about the how of it then the how often of it, or the specifics. I would guess less b/c we are the only ones with young children. -- age 27

Less -- age 35.

If you have had intercourse, how satisfying is it usually for you?

Moderately satisfying. i rarely orgasm just through intercourse. -- age 21

It is usually very satisfying. I orgasm very easily but also enjoy all the other aspects of intercourse - the intimacy, giving my partner pleasure, tastes, smells, etc.-- age 28

It's usually good, but I don't orgasm and can experience the female version of 'blue balls' afterwards. -- age 19

Lately not as much as I'd like, honestly. I still find it very enjoyable, I just wish it could last longer and we could take our time. We have very little time to ourselves so we usually have to hurry. -- age 27

Very much so, but I rarely orgasm from intercourse alone. -- age 35.

If you've had different partners, has intercourse felt better with certain ones? If so, please offer your theory about why.

Yes, for some reason my body turned on to overdrive and i was very lubricated every time for him. also he had a wider penis, rather than longer. -- age 21

The most satisfying sex I've ever had was with a man who was average in length but above average in girth. We were also deeply connected so the pleasure was as much emotional as physical. I find the best sex is an act of worship - of pleasure, of your partner, of yourself. And without emotional intimacy it's not nearly as satisfying. -- age 28

The best sex I ever had was non-penetrative - it was good because he completely concentrated on giving me head until I came. Other good sex happened because I was emotionally connected with the man I was sleeping with at the time. Another example of good sex involved little to no emotional connection but very, very good technique and, ahem, a large penis. -- age 19

It's felt the best with my husband. He was my first and I his, and we know each other so well that we work together on all the different levels of sex. We fit. We trust each other completely, and I think that's really important. That said, I was also taken advantage of at 17 by an older man and actually cheated on my husband with two different men, before we were married (I know, I'm pretty much a whore, sorry to say). I have issues, to say the least. But I've worked through a lot of them with my husband's help. When I was cheating, it was not enjoyable, because I felt so guilty the whole time and couldn't stop thinking of my husband, who I love so much, even when I was cheating on him (I know, makes sense, right?). I actually had an orgasm when the husband of one of my mom's best friends at the time took advantage of me while his kids were asleep in the next room. My head was spinning, I was scared and barely moved at all the whole time, but I came. -- age 27

Yes. I think it's been mostly about me and my discovering over time what I like in sex and what feels good than about the partners. I can guide them better now and I don't expect them to just know what to do. Also, sex with the partners I was in a long-term relationship with felt better, as there was the emotional connection. -- age 35.

Can you recall when you first "discovered your clitoris" as having potential for pleasure? If so, please describe the process and what your thoughts were.

14 years old, learned what/where it was in freshman health class. i went home, sat down in front of my mirror, and figured i could finally explore some sort of release for the tension/yearnings i'd been feeling in that area for years. -- age 21

I don't recall a specific moment or period when I discovered my clitoris. A more enlightening time for me was finding my own g-spot. Suddenly all the mystery of reaching orgasm was removed.-- age 28

I was about 5. I had put a drinks bottle between my legs to hold it while I picked up my cat and found I liked the pressure. Later, sitting cross-legged with the heel of my foot pressuring on my clitoris. -- age 19

Not the exact age, but pretty young. Not with my fingers, though, just rubbing myself on pillows or the like. And it wasn't for pleasure, initially, it was more of a comforting feeling that kind of helped me fall asleep at night. Later on it was a stress relief, still not sexual per se. It wasn't until a boy went down on me and licked it that I really understood how much pleasure could be had and then it became sexual. -- age 27

I was very young, a toddler, I think. I don't remember exactly. It must have been by accident, I pulled on my panties too tight, or something. That's how I started touching myself. It felt amazing so I kept doing it, which when my mother saw, she told me to stop. I didn't understand why, but she made me feel ashamed, like what I was doing was exceptionally bad and wrong. I kept doing it, only secretly and feeling very guilty. I had no idea that what I was touching was the clitoris, I didn't make the connection between the idea of orgasm and the pleasure I was giving myself until my teenage years! -- age 35.

If your partners have shaved, trimmed or waxed anywhere below the neck, please describe what and where, and if it had any impact on their desirability.

Some have shaved or trimmed their pubic hair, but never religiously, often doing it once as a token gesture and then letting it grow back out. i don't really find a man desireable/undesireable based on how he grooms, but it is fun to be able to suck on his balls, which you can't really do properly if they aren't shaved. -- age 21

I do not find completely shaved to be attractive at all. I much prefer neatly trimmed below the belt. I really don't care about anywhere else as long as he is comfortable.-- age 28
