Latest NY Times 'Red Century' Entry: Women Under Communism 'Had Better Sex'


Since early April, the New York Times has presented a weekly "Red Century" series of op-eds dedicated to "Exploring the history and legacy of Communism, 100 years after the Russian Revolution" in 1917.

The competition for the worst "communism wasn't all that bad" entry was pretty close until Saturday (seen in Sunday's print edition), when Kristen R. Ghodsee, a University of Pennsylvania professor of Russian and East European studies, told readers that "Women Had Better Sex Under Socialism," and deigned to tell us why.


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.

That's it. One study of one country out of the entire Soviet Union and its Iron Curtain comrades is enough to "prove" that "Women under Communism enjoyed more sexual pleasure," or, as claimed in the linked video, "At least in bed, the communists were victorious."




Right you have more freedom, under a gov that controls every aspect of your life .....

This is the new carrot for millennials: "Come be a Communist, you'll have better sex."

So, there's "more" sex as an Amish woman, or "better" sex as a Commie. Well that leaves me with only one thing left to do...
decide whether or not I want quality over quantity

I guess someone would have to ask the Amish women.
All I know is they must have a lot of sex since they have big families.

They may have quality as well as quantity.
