Scientists make worrying suggestion about men in the bedroom after new study on orgasms

A new study has found a worrying suggestion about men and sex, and it doesn’t bode well for their partners.

So, let’s talk about sex!

When two people come together in the throws of passion, sparks fly, and orgasms are usually had… but what a study found out is that those orgasms are likely to be had men.

That’s right - a study has found out exactly what women have been saying for years and now, they know that men might be gatekeeping orgasms when getting jiggy under the sheets.

Let’s be real - if women were having as many orgasms as men during sex, there probably wouldn’t be so many sex toys on the market tailored to women to give them a helping hand while solo or with a partner.

But now we know exactly how much more men are getting off than their ladies.

According to experts, which took data from around 25,000 people, found that men orgasm a whopping 30 percent more than women.

The researchers claim that the gender gap doesn’t focus on one age group, and that’s it’s true from the age of 18 all the way to 100.

The study went on to say that the difference in numbers shows that men either don’t know how to pleasure their partners or might not care.

That’s a worrying suggestion indeed.

The numbers show that men climax during sex between 70 and 85 percent of the time, which is pretty impressive until you see the sad reality of what women reported.

Women, on the other hand, went on to report that they orgasm with their male partner between 46 to 58 percent of the time.

Even though the average amount of sex per Brit is said to be around once a week, it’s no shock that women orgasm less often.

The author of the study suggests that the difference between male and female orgasms could be down to a lack of education, foreplay or even biological differences.

It could even be down to the fact that many are ‘favouring men’s pleasure’ over women’s.

According to The Sun, Dr Amanda Gesselman said: “The orgasm gap may be attributed to cultural influences and norms, such as the undervaluing of women’s sexual satisfaction, biased sexual education and the emphasis on penetrative sex.”

But there are other studies which also point out the gender gap, and it appears that this issue is mainly in heterosexual relationships.

According to research conducted by Durex, after surveying 2,000 adults, not only were women found to be having 4 times fewer orgasms than men, 42 percent had faked an orgasm compared to the 32 percent of men.

Dr Laurie Mintz, a sexuality psychologist, told Cosmopolitan that it’s ‘clear that [the problem] is the culture and not our body. When women pleasure themselves, 95 percent reach orgasm easily and within minutes.’

In another study, women who are gay reported orgasm rates similar to that of gay, bi and straight men at 89 percent, while bi and straight women reported it was 66 percent and 65 percent respectively.
