Straight women have fewest orgasms

Heterosexual women have fewer orgasms than men or lesbian or bisexual women, a study suggests. The findings came from a study of 52,600 people in the US, exploring the "orgasm gap" between the genders and different sexual orientations.

The report in Archives of Sexual Behaviour revealed a "variety of behaviours couples can try to increase orgasm frequency". These include oral sex and manual stimulation.

The study, by Indiana University, Chapman University and Claremont Graduate University, showed the proportion of people who usually orgasmed was:

65% of heterosexual women
66% of bisexual women
86% of lesbian women
88% of bisexual men
89% of gay men
95% of heterosexual men

"The fact that lesbian women orgasmed more often than heterosexual women indicates that many heterosexual women could experience higher rates of orgasm."

Few heterosexual women climaxed through penetrative sex alone, the report said.
The study showed that "of particular importance was incorporating oral sex along with other activities during a sexual encounter".

There was a clear pattern between more oral sex and more orgasms in heterosexual women, lesbian women, bisexual women, gay men and bisexual men. Only in straight men was no link detected.

Other behaviours linked to greater orgasms in women were:

-Asking for what they wanted in bed
-Praising their partner for something they did in bed
-Calling or emailing to tease about doing something sexual
-Wearing sexy lingerie
-Trying new sexual positions
-Anal stimulation
-Talking about or acting out sexual fantasies
-Engaging in sexy talk and expressions of love during sex

That's cause there are only so many GAFfers to go around. We can't do it all! Sorry ladies, wait your turn.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

95℅ of heterosexual men.
Lmao.

 

[Glix]

So many of us dudes are garbage.

Go down people! It's awesome!

 

[Fulminator]

Probably a lot of dudes who finish first and then are just done

 

[Garrett Hawke]

95℅ of heterosexual men.
Lmao.

I screamed

 

[kamineko]

Lmao.

"I got mine" haha

 

[Mr. Giggles]

These women haven't met this Gaffer yet.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Thumbs up for anal stimulation.

 

[TheOfficeMut]

Probably a lot of dudes who finish first and then are just done

Which I'll never understand. Just knowing women can have multiple orgasms and because I love my partner I'll make sure she has several before I even begin to consider having an orgasm myself. I am legitimately turned off at the thought of having an orgasm first over my significant other. *sigh*

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

A combination of two factors I'd imagine,

1) Women being told that masturbation and expressing their sexual desires overtly is socially unacceptable

2) Men not caring about their partners as long as they get a nut. Like the article says, oral sex is a must

 

[Trey]

Equal orgasms for equal work.

 

[SliceSabre]

66% of bisexual women
86% of lesbian women

Eh? Would have thought it'd be a little be higher considering the lesbian women number.

 

[Glix]

Thumbs up for anal stimulation.

 

[fabricated backlash]

Thumbs up for anal stimulation.

Pun intended?

 

[CCS]

Eh? Would have thought it'd be a little be higher considering the lesbian women number.

That is curious, I wonder what the breakdown would be for those in relationships with men v women.

 

[ZOONAMI]

I am a strong advocate of bringing a vibrator into the equation.

 

[Trey]

Eh? Would have thought it'd be a little be higher considering the lesbian women number.

Lesbians can only drag heterosexual male mediocrity up but so much.

 

[akira28]

95℅ of heterosexual men.
Lmao.

If we were flowers we'd be the dangerous kind you wouldn't wear nice clothes when you walked by.

covered in pollen stains.

 

[hypernima]

No fucking shit.
I know guys that still refuse to go down, no foreplay, no questions.

Men are dumb as bricks.

 

[Captain Pants]

Dudes, go down on your ladies. It's the right thing to do.

Of course not.

Your hands are more than enough.

They literally have a cheat button built in . But I think a lot of those stats include older less educated / puritans people.

Edit :

For the record, I'm not saying oral sex is bad. I just feel uncomfortable forcing it on people as mandatory, in both ways.

 

[Izuna]

Should be obvious.

Also, 95% of men? Who are these men that never busted a nut?

 

[ZOONAMI]

Eh? Would have thought it'd be a little be higher considering the lesbian women number.

This is purely speculation, but my guess would be that there is a skew of women who identify as bisexual but typically their sexual endevors are heterosexual.

The numbers here would seem to support that.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Let's talk about this 5% of heterosexual men. Someone help those poor guys they must be dying.

 

[fabricated backlash]

Dudes, go down on your ladies. It's the right thing to do.

Or just simply ask them what they like. Seriously. Just ask. If they can't tell you, then they probably don't even know. Then it's discovery time.

 

[Teran]

It's 2017, time to toss some salad.

Wait, if they mean during sex then...

Ah I understand

I've known men who found the act of putting a mouth to a vagina disgusting, yet they didn't bat an eye at the thought of putting a mouth to a penis.

 

[The Kree]

Women literally have an orgasm button. C'mon guys.

Yep. Remember everyone, it's not over until you both get your cookies.

 

[SwipeLeftHoney]

is anyone actually surprised by this at all?? I'm not

 

[Boke1879]

Men not out there pleasing their woman smh. Seriously people. eat it out

 

[Trey]

men like that are weak and will not survive the winter.

 

[hughesta]

take a girl out to eat once in a while, damn

 

[DBT85]

If you're going down, go all the way down. Do it properly.

 

[radios shipping overview]

Dumbass dudes thinking they can make their woman come just by dicking them.

 

[thehypocrite]

Not enough gaffers in Indiana. Fix this Evilore!!!

 

[Mulberry]

No one knows how to please a woman like a woman.

 

[CHC]

Women literally have an orgasm button. C'mon guys.

I wonder if "penetrative sex only" means no clit touching? Can be kind of hard to orgasm JUST from penetration alone depending on the position / angle, but hands make it very easy.

 

[BeesEight]

I've known men who found the act of putting a mouth to a vagina disgusting, yet they didn't bat an eye at the thought of putting a mouth to a penis.

I know lots too!

Spoiler

But we're gay so...

I'm a little curious about that homosexual men statistic. I mean, sure sometimes you won't but in my experience usually we both do. Not really surprised to see oral being more necessary though. Sometimes you're just not... going in balls deep so to speak.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Honestly, those women get a lot of blame. The number of people I've heard complain about their partner'a performance in bed but never actually voice their concerns with their partner is staggering. And then when they break up with the guy they leave his illusions that there's nothing wrong intact, to be inflicted on the next person they sleep with. The cycle continues.

There are certainly going to be a lot of guys who are unfairly recalcitrant about reciprocating, but I'd wager a lot more is simple ignorance. If you're always faking how do you expect people to intuit what you want?

 

[kaioshade]

Wife hates receiving oral sex, so *shrug*

other things turn her on.

 

[Hazmat]

The only thing I find surprising here is how close bisexual women are to straight women and how far they are from lesbians.

 

[Earthbound64]

So is that:
"encounter with an orgasm" / encounters
or
"total orgasms" / encounters

Since, you know, women can have multiple orgasms per encounter.

 

[Alcotholic]

I love going down on my GF. Its awesome seeing her get off.

 

[Future]

5% of men what's up wit you

5% of men what's up wit you

Sometimes you just can't be bothered.
Or are more concerned about the woman's pleasure.
Or both.

Step ya game up, straight dudes
