(208) Coital Positions and Clitoral Blood Flow: A Biomechanical and Sonographic Analysis

Abstract Introduction The purported benefits of various coital positions are described in numerous magazines, books, and public forums. However, there is little scientific research that evaluates the association between different ability to produce female orgasm. Objective To create biomechanical models five positions, evaluate degree contact forces against clitoris. clitoral blood flow before after engaging these positions. Methods Biomechanical were rendered a male pelvis following positions: face-to-face/female above, sitting/face-to-face, face-to-face/male above (with without pillow), kneeling/rear entry. thrusting force gravitational estimated for pelvis(es) providing main forces. areas pelvises identified highlighted. Sonography clitoris was performed healthy volunteer couple engaged each position, using Philips Lumify™ ultrasound (Koninklijke N.V., Amsterdam, Netherlands) with L12-4 linear array transducer (4-12 MHz). Results exception entry, reveal large amount Clitoral increased position except Positions which partner same direction (and thereby augmenting) resulted intense (face-to-face/female above). Augmenting pillow generated component pelvic clitoris; this more all components cavernous body. Conclusions From perspective, vary their potential stimulate These lead variable increases flow, concordant our models. Disclosure No
