Experts wondered the same thing. In the study, they asked 71 sexually active heterosexual women between ages 18 and 48 for more details about vocalization during sex. The researchers found that many of the women did make noise, but not necessarily while they were having an orgasm. Are female orgasms really just a 'bonus'? So it would be a fairly wise faking strategy to moan since men already tend to associate moaning with orgasm. Research in the animal kingdom reveals that female baboons, for example, have a variety of copulation calls, which appear to relate to their fertility: The vocalizations tend to become more complex when the females are closer to ovulation, and also vary when a female is mating with a higher-ranked male baboon. Performances and primatologists aside, vocalizing during sex can actually be a great tool to help women get what they want in bed.

Right there. Ah, ahh, yesssss. So if you don't understand, good news: We're here to help you dissect and interpret every kind of moan, plus give you a little refresher on pretty much everything and anything you ever wanted to know about sex noises.

Hear what female pleasure really sounds like by listening to orgasms recorded by women like you, who are willing to remove the taboos imposed by society and by ourselves. Bijoux Indiscrets, the brand of erotic products made by and for women, in an effort to show the full gamut of female sexuality, has conducted a study to determine how fiction conditions our desires, expectations and sexual behaviour. To help to change these ideas it has created the Orgasm Library of Real Sounds , showing the way that female pleasure, your pleasure, really sounds. Based on this commitment, we are conducting an in-depth study to explore the prejudices and taboos that influence and condition our sexual behaviour, such as the fictional view of sex and female masturbation. Pornographic and romantic films are extremely influential on our desires, expectations and sexual behaviour.
