They say size counts, but, let's face it, it's not always a man's size that determines how his manhood holds up in lover's lane. There are a myriad of myths that surround a woman's Mount Pleasant, and while a man's measurement is often called into question, the size of the camp ground is another rumor that suggests how successful a stay the trip was.

Nor does it make you less of a woman. It does, however, reflect the state of your relationship with your womanhood. Nevertheless, 90 percent of women say they experience orgasm through sexual stimulation, but rarely do so through vaginal penetration alone. If you have a high sex drive and get aroused easily, but still feel nothing in your vagina, you just have to take the time to find your blocks and hot spots. This can be both frustrating and confusing, leading many women to believe that they suffer from sexual dysfunction. Since our bodies and their natural processes have so long been stigmatized, it can be difficult to decondition this thinking in ourselves.
