Busting Sex and Fertility Myths: Female Orgasm and Conception

[00:00:01] So in this video, I would love to bust a myth that exists out there that female orgasm is necessary in order for conception to occur. So this belief has stemmed from certain ancient cultures that believed in order for conception to occur, both the male and the female needed to orgasm. and that when they both orgasmed their essences were able to mix and that through this mixing of and that when they both orgasmed their essences were able to mix and that through this mixing of their essences procreation was possible. So over time and with developments in science and the study of human sexuality it was found that this is not true and that female orgasm is not a direct requirement for conception to happen and so this is good to know in case there has been any undue pressure or expectation that you if you're a female or if you're watching this and you have [00:00:58] pressure or expectation that you if you're a female or if you're watching this and you have a female partner that they need to orgasm when you're making love if it happens on its own that's so beautiful and very welcome and there are some indirect benefits to the female orgasm when it comes to conception in that the release of the neurochemicals including serotonin and oxytocin these feel-good chemicals help to counteract the stress hormone cortisol so that's one indirect these feel-good chemicals help to counteract the stress hormone cortisol so that's one indirect benefit and another is that oxytocin itself is a very powerful hormone for bonding and closeness so it deepens intimacy between partners and also through the feel-good sensations and the pleasure [00:01:54] that comes with female orgasm it's also a powerful motivator to engage in more sexual play that comes with female orgasm it's also a powerful motivator to engage in more sexual play more sexual interactions and so there's these lovely knock-on benefits that can be there but what's really important is that the focus is primarily on the depth and quality of the connection between you and your partner that it is free of pressure or expectation for orgasm to occur and that really you're focusing on being in the moment with your partner where you're focusing on the pleasure and the enjoyment of the experience that's happening for you both rather than being on the pleasure and the enjoyment of the experience that's happening for you both rather than being [00:02:35] focused on a goal and that takes you out of the moment.
