<p><a href="Heterosexuality" title="Heterosexuality">Heterosexual</a> activity depicted in mainstream media and <a href="Pornography" title="Pornography">pornography</a> is predominantly centred on male pleasure and often includes sexual myths which may influence the construction of one's understanding of what constitutes normal/typical sexual behaviour. The female orgasm as portrayed by media and pornography regularly promotes a false image in which women orgasm from penetration alone. Researchers conclude that this idea may contribute to unrealistic expectations for what methods of sexual activity are necessary for women to orgasm in real life encounters.<sup id="cite_ref-79" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-79"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>79<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:2_9-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:1_5-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:0_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>People tend to turn to pornography as a useful tool for masturbation and to search the topics about which they fantasize for themselves. These scenarios can perpetuate sexual curiosity and may turn pleasureful acts into motivation, possibly turning into addiction. <sup id="cite_ref-80" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-80"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>80<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Porn can also be directly linked to emotional suppression and reduce one's ability to orgasm with a partner because it causes a disconnect between partners goals for their sex, connection, and ability to arouse each other without online stimulation. <sup id="cite_ref-81" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-81"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>81<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The desire for female porn viewers to see what they want to see, including the female performers on screen having real orgasms instead of fake ones, was one of the main factors leading to the rise of <a href="Feminist_pornography" title="Feminist pornography">feminist pornography</a> in the 1980s and 1990s in North America and Europe.<sup id="cite_ref-Taormino_82-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Taormino-82"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>82<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 13–15">: 13–15 </span></sup> According to feminist pornographer <a href="Tristan_Taormino" title="Tristan Taormino">Tristan Taormino</a> (2013), 'in feminist porn, female desire, pleasure, and orgasm are prioritized and celebrated.

<p>There is an increasing body of research and technology innovations seeking out to diminish the heterosexual orgasm gap. One study in 2021<sup id="cite_ref-83" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-83"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>83<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> aimed to create terminology around clitoral stimulation techniques already used by women in order to give sexual partners better awareness and vocabulary with which to communicate during intercourse.
</p><p>The study, which was funded by the intimate health company behind sex education website OMGYes<sup id="cite_ref-84" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-84"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>84<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> which works with sex researchers and was published in <i><a href="PLOS_ONE" class="mw-redirect" title="PLOS ONE">PLOS ONE</a></i>, used data from over 3,000 women in the US to learn what discoveries they had made to make sex more pleasurable. Interviews were then analysed and the names of the four most mentioned techniques were coined: angling, rocking, shallowing and pairing.
</p><p>Angling, which involves the rotating or raising of the pelvis during penetration for adjustment was used by 87.5% of women. Around 76% used rocking, where the base of a penis or sex toy rubs against the clitoris consistently throughout penetration as opposed to thrusting in and out. Shallowing was used by 84% of women, where penetrative touch is experienced with tools, fingers, penises or lips just inside the entrance of the vagina and 69.7% used pairing, where a woman or her partner reaches down to stimulate the clitoris while penetration is occurring at the same time.
</p><p>Dr. Devon Hensel, one of the study's co-authors, told the BBC<sup id="cite_ref-85" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-85"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>85<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> that “sex research as a field has been around for well over 100 years and it was really incomprehensible to us as researchers that there were not names for these things. And when something is unnamed, it almost becomes unspeakable."
