LIONESS SEXPERIMENTS

Spicy Science Projects for Adults

When we said never measured, never improved we meant it. Sexperiments are designed to help you find what does (and doesn't) influence your orgasms and arousal. Every month, Lioness users will come together to try and see if their orgasms data changes based on specific techniques, tools, and lifestyle changes.

In other words, we're inviting you to take part in spicy science projects for adults.

1. Join our community on the latest sexperiment

2. Set your hypothesis 

3. Do "it" for science

4. Get AI-powered results on your data

Sexperiments will help Lioness users harness the power of their pleasure. 

It’s been shown that novelty is an integral element of a fulfilling sex life — but the same benefit can be extended to masturbation. So if you really want to masturbate better, try something new!

By taking part in these experiments, Lioness users will learn what makes their orgasms feel better, how to explore their body, and to view masturbation as more than just a one-off session.

Sexperiment Results: Do blindfolds make orgasms and arousal better?

In the spirit of all things spooky, Lioness users spent the month of October experimenting with pleasures they couldn’t see.

Here’s what the data says about blindfolds and orgasms:

A Quick review of the Lioness community poll & hypotheses

Before jumping into the Sexperiment, we wanted to get an idea of where Lioness users fell in terms of sight and masturbation.

Community Poll: Do you flick the bean with your eyes open?

For the first time ever, we had a tie! With only 14% of users reporting they never masturbate with their eyes open, the remaining 86% was equally divided between "Often” and "Sometimes.”

Hypothesis: Do you think being blindfolded will improve your orgasms

Lioness users were given the same three choices for this hypothesis as they always are: Get Better, Stay the Same, or Get Worse.

Here’s how they voted, with 55% of users predicting their O’s would Stay the Same:

blindfold hypothesis

Fun Fact: 5 out of the 7 sexperiments we’ve done so far have seen an overwhelming majority of folks hypothesizing their arousal won’t change. CBD and Edging have been the only experiments thus far where users thought their orgasms would improve. But in all seven experiments, data showed some element of improvement for arousal and orgasm — whether it was orgasm length, peak force, or star rating.

The Results: Longer Sessions, Stronger Orgasms

Lioness sessions tagged as "blindfolded” yielded some interesting results! Here’s what we found:

  • Session length increased by an average of 35% percent, averaging about 10 minutes and 48 seconds in length
  • Average orgasm strength increased by 12%
  • Average peak force during orgasm went up to 66.7 gf versus baseline sessions that averaged 59.7 gf
This Sexperiment also found the average time to orgasm to 8 min 6 secs minutes (compared to 5 min 10 secs in baseline sessions).

The Conclusion: Blindfolds can make orgasms better

In a surprising turn of events for over half of Lioness Sexperimenters, blindfolds definitely improved orgasms and arousal from a data perspective. More time spent masturbating and stronger force during orgasm are just two indicators that perhaps there’s merit in covering your eyes during masturbation and sex.

Each month, Lioness users who participate in Sexperiments get access to full global data results AND their own personalized insights from their own sessions.

The truth about porn: is it normal, will I get addicted, and more

The truth about porn: is it normal, will I get addicted, and more

As a sex educator, I’m in a lot of online, sex positive forums and spaces. After all, these are the places people are asking the most important questions related to sex (not to mention sex is pretty much my favorite topic in the whole wide world).

One topic that comes up quite often is the topic of porn. It seems the internet is really divided on the subject and cannot agree if it’s normal, if it’s cheating, if it’s ethical, and more.

So join me as I get into the world of pornography and some definitive answers to your burning questions!

Is it normal to watch porn?

Yes! Not only is it normal to watch porn, but it’s normal to read it, to listen to it, and to even make your own. (You didn’t really think taking nudes was anything other than DIY porn, did you?)

We’ll get a bit more into what each of those encompass, but the bottom line is this: pornography is a normal and common sexual tool. It’s arousing, it’s enticing, and it’s indulgent. So if it gets you off, let yourself enjoy it.

Not all porn is created equally

The most important thing you can do as a pornography user is make sure you’re consuming ethical porn. And before you roll your eyes, hear me out.

The truth is that not all porn is created equally. Here are some ways to gauge whether what you’re consuming is ethical based on the type of content you’re consuming:

  • Big Brand Porn/Production Companies: Ethical pornography in this category will keep porn stars safe sexually and financially. Actors and models will make fair wages regardless of gender, health checks are normal and built into production, everyone is over the age of 18, etc.
  • Homemade/Amateur Porn: Ethical homemade or amateur porn is going to be consensual, first and foremost. Uploading sexual content without every party’s consent is a violation (and illegal), so if you’re unsure about the consent behind the content, err on the side of caution and find something else.
  • OnlyFans: This one is very much like amateur porn in that you want to be sure the creator is who they say they are and the pornography is being shared consensually. In addition to this, however, you need to decide where you stand on outsourcing sexy paid conversations or AI enhanced visuals. If you’re cool sexting someone the creator pays and don’t mind unrealistic body modification, then go for it! If you are, consider looking for a creator that really fits in with your values before clicking subscribe.

What kinds of porn are there?

There are three types of porn you can consume if you want to give naughty content a try:

  • Visual Porn: This is what people tend to think of when they hear the word porn. Visual porn is any type of sexual videos, pictures, and images meant to arouse. (Again, this includes sending and receiving nudes from sexual partners!)
  • Audio Porn:Audio pornography is porn you listen to — whether it’s a spicy voice note from a partner or opening up your favorite spicy stories audio app. And yes, those viral audio videos on TikTok that get you hot and bothered totally count as audio porn.
  • Erotica:Are you into fairy smut? Do you go back through your sexting sessions to turn yourself on? Congratulations! You’re an erotica porn user; that is, you prefer to read your porn!

Is it normal to dislike porn or find it unarousing?

Absolutely! If there’s anything you learn from reading our Sex Guides, let it be this: sexual arousal, orgasm, and pleasure are unique to each of us. The ways in which we engage ourselves sexually are vast, and there’s no one thing that's going to work for all of us.

Porn is not immune to this truth. Some people are going to watch porn and be wholly unaroused, while others may hear it and be turned off or read it and have trouble engaging in it at all. Whether you’re aroused or unaffected by exposure to porn, it’s generally a normal reaction either way.

Isn’t porn just for men?

No, porn isn’t just for men. But if you’re a woman and you think porn is just for men —or if just hearing the word alone feels off putting —you’re not alone. So much of mainstream porn is geared towards cis-het men, that many people with vulvas often fall into accepting that it’s simply not for them or find that it’s not very arousing when they do go in search of it.

This experience is so prevalent, in fact, that an entire genre of porn was created to make porn feel more accessible —pornography for women.

On some sites, this means more romance and kissing. For others, this means intentionally representing various body types and relationships. All of it, however, tends to decenter male pleasure (unless you’re into that) and emphasizes female pleasure and female agency. (We are big fans of platforms like Afterglow and Dipsea, if you’re looking for suggestions. Both do a wonderful job creating erotic content for people without penises and queer people.)

Will I get addicted to porn?

This is a great question to ask — and a really common one. Fortunately, the answer is no, you’re not going to get clinically addicted to porn.

But wait! You read that story about that woman on Facebook having no sex life because her partner wouldn’t stop watching porn — like, he was doing it when he was driving, right? Surely that’s a thing that happens to people?

Well, yes and no. More often than not, the problems associated with using pornography are better described as one of two things:

  • Compulsive Pornography Use:Compulsive masturbation and porn watching are disruptive to life; they get in the way of work, self-care, relationships, etc. but that’s problematic behavior, not necessary clinical addiction.
  • Moral incongruence:Moral incongruence comes down to a disconnect between what someone believes and their behaviors . For example, someone who has religious reservations about viewing porn may experience moral incongruence deriving pleasure from watching it. (Another great example of moral incongruence is when someone is aroused by consensual nonconsent but feels shame or guilt about that, but I digress.)

Regardless of compulsive pornography use or moral incongruence, however, porn addiction remains too heavily debated to be considered a legitimate reason not to at least try porn. (And if you are still concerned and have a trusted therapist or doctor to discuss your concerns with, talking to them first may help you make the choice as well —just remember this opens up the door for their own biases to influence their advice.)

I want to try masturbating with porn. What do I do?

First of all, get excited! Porn is a really hot, fun, and accessible sexual tool that you are allowed to explore with enthusiasm.

When you’re ready to really give porn a try, think about the type of sex you like having, or the type of sex you wish you could have and seek it out. Whether you’re listening to your porn, watching it, or reading it, starting with things that you already know turn you on can make it easy to settle into the fantasy you’re engaging in.

At worst, you’ll find that pornography just doesn’t work for you. At best, however, you’ll open up a world of exploring sexual fantasies and kinks that you may not have found otherwise, taking your pleasure to new heights.

Sexperiment Results: Does caffeine make orgasms better?

Sexperiment Results: Does caffeine make orgasms better?

There’s an internet rumor that says caffeine makes orgasms 50% stronger —and the Lioness pride put it to the test during the month of September.

Grab a cup of joe and dive into the data with us!

A Quick review of the Lioness community poll & hypotheses

This month, Sexperimenters were prompted with a simple poll:do you drink caffeine before flicking the bean?And their answers suggest caffeine is not being used as much of an aphrodisiac, with only 16.1% of participants saying they consume it often before masturbating.

Hypothesis 2: Will caffeine improve your orgasms?

Lioness users were given three choices for this hypothesis: Get Better, Stay the Same, or Get Worse.

Here’s how they voted, with only 34% predicting their O’s would get better:

The Results: Caffeine improved how quickly orgasm occurred

The results of this Sexperiment are pretty fun because “better” is truly in the eye of the beholder with these ones.

While Lioness users rated their caffeine orgasms at 3.6 stars out of 5, the time to orgasm dropped significantly! Average latency during baseline sessions was 5 minutes 44 seconds, whereas average latency during caffeinated masturbation was 2 minutes 45 seconds!

This Sexperiment also gave the following results:

  • Max peak force during orgasm dropped from 60.1 gF during baseline sessions to 46 gF during caffeine sessions
  • 12.9% of caffeinated sessions saw multiple orgasms

The Conclusion: Get in and get off with caffeine

If you’re looking to get in, get off, and get out of your masturbation sessions quickly, caffeine seems to be a good way to do it. If staying a while and taking your time are your thing, however, skip the caffeine.
