Answer:

Most women need some sort of direct clitoral stimulation. And although I’ve read that it is possible for women to achieve orgasm simply through a kiss or touch, it is very, very uncommon. These women are what I refer to as urban legends. There are ways of speeding up the time it takes to have an orgasm, however. Many women find that a particularly arousing bout of sexy foreplay can make them orgasm very quickly during intercourse. Trying a variety of positions can stimulate different parts of the vagina. It’s just a matter of finding the one that is right for you. Hope that helps, – Anne
