(Los Angeles, CA / June 06, 2024) — Pleasure-based sex-ed platform Beducated is shining a spotlight on the valuable lessons the LGBTQ+ community can teach straight folks about the art of intimate exploration.
With Pride Month in full bloom, Beducated is sidestepping traditional heteronormative perspectives to focus on queer sex, where studies have long acknowledged a significantly reduced orgasm gap in lesbian partnered sex in comparison to straight partnered sex.
Five key mindsets of queer sexuality include:
1. There’s No ‘Right Way’ to Have Sex
Many believe that sex must include vaginal penetration to be complete. However, queer sex shows us that orgasms can occur through cunnilingus or blowjobs without making penetration the main event.
“There is this outdated misconception that sex is only complete when there is penetration involved. That can be a problem because it makes penetration the main event,” explains Beducated CEO/founder Mariah Freya. “However, we know that people with vulvas require more than just penis-in-vagina action to reach an orgasm.”
2. Your Gender Doesn’t Define Whether You’re ‘Submissive’ or ‘Dominant’
Society often imposes rigid gender roles in sexual dynamics, expecting straight men to be dominant and straight women to be submissive. Queer sex challenges these norms.
“Why let gender define how we express ourselves in the bedroom? Instead, think about the role you find most pleasurable, expectations be damned.” says Freya.
3. Toys, Gadgets, and Gizmos Are Your Friends
Sex toys and accessories are not just for replacing body parts; they can enhance sexual experiences significantly.
“Lesbian folks are often asked, ‘Don’t you miss dick?’ Cringe aside, sex sans penis doesn’t mean you have to skip the penetration — there are dildos for that!” notes Freya. “Beyond replacing body parts, toys, lubes and accessories can elevate sex to a whole new level.”
4. Sexual Desire Doesn’t Look the Same for Everyone
Sexuality exists on a spectrum, influencing not just who we are attracted to, but how we experience that attraction. For instance, straight men can enjoy anal stimulation without compromising their sexual orientation.
“People with penises are blessed with this small gland called a prostate, which has the potential to lead to next-level orgasms. For some ridiculous reason, we’ve decided as a society to completely ignore it because prostate stimulation involves getting close to – gasp – the anal region,” says Freya. “If only straight men could let go of these outdated principles and explore their prostate more. Imagine having something that powerful, and not using it because of prejudice. The world is upside down.”
5. The Secret to Mind-Blowing Orgasms: KNOWING YOUR STUFF
Queer vulva owners are more likely to orgasm during sex than their straight counterparts, not because of sexual orientation, but due to greater sexual knowledge.
“You don’t need to have a vulva to know how to turn one on; all you need to do is educate yourself,” says Freya. “Getting familiar with vulva anatomy means you can find the G-Spot and cervix, for example. Sure, clitoral stimulation is great, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The same goes for male body anatomy – you want to know where the perineum is, or how to approach hand jobs when your partner is (or isn’t) circumcised.”
According to Beducated’s Decoding Desire survey from earlier this year, key findings revealed that a majority of Beducated users reported being “Satisfied” or “Very Satisfied” with their sex lives. In contrast, only about one-third of non-subscribers reported the same satisfaction levels. This underscores the importance of comprehensive sex education in enhancing sexual wellness and satisfaction.
