What You Should Know About International Female Orgasm Day

By

Aug 9, 2012

Here's a random fact of the day: there's actually a law out there somewhere that men must ensure that their wives have an orgasm. How exactly that law is enforced, we don't really know (can we really picture a woman busting through courthouse doors ready to sue her hubby because he didn't make her climax? You never know)—but no, we're not joking.

The law was passed in Espertina, Brazil by councilman Arimateio Dantas and actually coined the "holiday" International Female Orgasm Day (August 8). And even though we know everyday is International Female Orgasm Day in our book, we wanted to point out that it's not as silly as it sounds. The point was to actually raise awareness of female sexuality because we've often been denied the right to explore our bodies or openly discuss sex—something Latino cultures have struggled with for centuries.

Durex paid Cosmo for Latinas a small visit yesterday and shared some interesting facts about reaching the big O. Their goal is to make products that help both men and women climax together, since more than one third of Americans say they never "reach the finish line" in sync, and most of the time it's us, ladies, that haven't made it to the end. They even offered up some products, like their Ring of Bliss, which is supposed to please you and him at the same time. I'm sure Dantas would appreciate Durex's efforts.

We don't need to tell you how to celebrate, but men and women are supposed to honor the day by learning more about the female orgasm. But if you want to skip the research and hit la cama, check out these true-life hot sex stories.
