A study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior shows that heterosexual women experience fewer orgasms during sex with their partners than all others.
The study was conducted by researchers from several American universities, they analyzed the sexual habits of 52,588 adults. The study group included 26,032 heterosexual men, 24,102 heterosexual women, 452 gay men, 550 bisexual men, 340 lesbians and 112 bisexual women.
There were no significant difference between men. 95 percent of heterosexual men reported experiencing orgasm every time. 89 percent of homosexual men reported that they too had an orgasm every time they had sex. 88% of bisexuals said the same.
But the women’s responses varied widely. Homosexual women reported experiencing orgasm 86 percent of the time, while heterosexual women and bisexual women reported experiencing orgasm 65 and 66 percent of the time, respectively.
So why the big difference?
Researchers believe there could be several reasons for this. The first reason is that lesbians have a better understanding of female anatomy and the importance of clitoral stimulation than men. It is believed that lesbians are more likely than men to switch roles with their partners to satisfy each other.
The researchers also found that women who experience orgasm more often practice oral sex more often, say what makes them happy in bed, are satisfied with their relationship, wear sexy underwear, try new positions, try anal sex, do not avoid sexual language and expressions of love during sex.
And it sounds quite logical – after all, many women do not say what they want in the bedroom, and those who do, are more likely to talk about orgasm.
Another observation the researchers made was that women who experienced orgasm were more likely to report engaging in oral sex, had longer intercourse, and were generally more satisfied with their relationships. For women, it is especially important to include oral sex during sex.
What is the biggest discovery of the authors of this study?
It turns out that the “so difficult to experience” female orgasm is not so difficult to experience after all. The fact that so many lesbians regularly experience orgasms suggests that heterosexual women can enjoy the same.
The authors of the study emphasized that the orgasm gap can be closed by taking advantage of sociocultural factors and encouraging men and women to try more things during sexual intimacy.
In other words, if you suspect that your partner is faking an orgasm, or if she says that she did not experience an orgasm during sex, this clearly indicates a problem.
Tips? If you’re a straight man, you might want to ask your girlfriend or wife what she thinks about your sex life. Even if everything is fine, it never hurts to experiment, to try something new.
