Why Women Had Better Sex Under Socialism
New York Times ^ | August 12, 2017 | Kristen R. Ghodsee

When Americans think of Communism in Eastern Europe, they imagine travel restrictions, bleak landscapes of gray concrete, miserable men and women languishing in long lines to shop in empty markets and security services snooping on the private lives of citizens. While much of this was true, our collective stereotype of Communist life does not tell the whole story.

Some might remember that Eastern bloc women enjoyed many rights and privileges unknown in liberal democracies at the time, including major state investments in their education and training, their full incorporation into the labor force, generous maternity leave allowances and guaranteed free child care. But there’s one advantage that has received little attention: Women under Communism enjoyed more sexual pleasure.

A comparative sociological study of East and West Germans conducted after reunification in 1990 found that Eastern women had twice as many orgasms as Western women. Researchers marveled at this disparity in reported sexual satisfaction, especially since East German women suffered from the notorious double burden of formal employment and housework. In contrast, postwar West German women had stayed home and enjoyed all the labor-saving devices produced by the roaring capitalist economy. But they had less sex, and less satisfying sex, than women who had to line up for toilet paper.

...their full incorporation into the labor force...

No unemployment under Communism, and more orgasms too!

It may be that eastern women faked more orgasms than western women.

Of course they did... they had a quota under the 5-Year Plan.

What's the implication?
That marxism is worse for the ugly women?

This video tells us a lot about sexual decadence under socialism. With the economic collapse and godless doctrines about sexuality and homosexuality it was a playland for perverts.

And yet, even with all that supposed great sex going on, plus perks and bennies, every single one of those nations ran away from Communism as quickly as they could. Hmmmmmm. I wonder what lesson is to be learned from this. NY Times, care to venture a guess?

“Her early ethnographic research focused on women’s labor in the post-socialist Bulgarian tourism industry and on the effects of political transition on Bulgaria’s Muslim minorities, particularly the Pomaks (or Slavic Muslims). Her later works have been heavily influenced by humanistic anthropology; Ghodsee has experimented with ethnographic fiction, autoethnography, and photoethnography to produce more intimate narratives and images of the disorienting impacts of the collapse of communism on daily life.”

Wow, talk about a hot date!.... mmmm, maybe not.

For leftists, sex is the very meaning of their lives - the center of their universe. And like most atheists, they become their own god - with self-worship their natural state.

We see this most clearly in the reverence given to their most holy sacrament: abortion - they will not allow pregnancy to interrupt their pursuit of more and ever more self-pleasuring.

So, it’s really no surprise that leftists would have more orgasms; but their narcissism comes with a cost...

Don’t ask me how I learned this, but a long time ago, I learned that the AVERAGE Soviet female had 7 abortions.

And if you want to see further proof of the "holiness" of abortion, note how the leftists are all in a kerfuffle in Charlottesville - to remove the bust of noted Klansman Nathan Bedford Forrest - and yet they won't even touch on the idea that noted eugenicist and founder of "Planned Parenthood", Margaret Sanger... called for the elimination of "human weeds," for the cessation of charity, for the segregation of "morons, misfits, and maladjusted," and for the sterilization of "genetically inferior races."
(https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Margaret_Sanger)

And while Snopes would have you believe that Sanger didn't attach it [the above quote] to any particular race or ethnicity...

...it's pretty obvious who she is talking about - when you read between the lines.
