Why She Moans in the Middle of the Night
You've torpedoed through enough pairs of boxers to know it's common for men to have involuntarily nocturnal erections. But you probably didn't know that women have them, too--up to four or five every night! It's not just her clitoris that reflexively becomes engorged with blood during REM sleep; it's her entire genital area, says Irwin Goldstein, M.D., a Boston University urologist. And because that whole region is erect, it makes it more likely she'll have an orgasm. The lesson: Tap her on the shoulder tonight. She's probably already primed for a midnight tryst.
