Why Do Straight Women Have Fewest Orgasms?

Studies repeatedly show that straight women are less likely than any other female sexual orientation to have an orgasm during sex. And there’s a major orgasm gap with men of all sexual preferences.

The reasons seem to be that straight women don’t take enough control in order to achieve this important climax to their sexual pleasure – and that straight men lack the skill to help their partners achieve their orgasm and even, sadly, often don’t have much interest in doing so.

Straight Men Come By Far Most Often

The stats show that the lowest of all demographics  – at 65% for usually or always climaxing in sexual intercourse – falls with straight women. Bisexual women are only 1% better off. By contrast, lesbians reportedly come around 86% of the time through coitus. That’s about the same figure as for bisexual men at 88%. Gay men are about 1% better off. But, way up there, are heterosexual men, claiming to climax in 95% in full-on sex.

The authors of a study involving the Kinsey Institute back in 2017 concluded:

“Women who orgasmed more frequently were more likely to: receive more oral sex, have longer duration of last sex, be more satisfied with their relationship, ask for what they want in bed, praise their partner for something they did in bed, call/email to tease about doing something sexual, wear sexy lingerie, try new sexual positions, anal stimulation, act out fantasies, incorporate sexy talk, and express love during sex.”

Lesbians Understand Female Pleasure Better

The study also looked into why there is a 20% disparity between the proportion of orgasms that lesbian women have over heterosexual women. The conclusion was that lesbian women surely have a better idea of how the female anatomy works – and have a way better understanding of the effectiveness of proper clitoral stimulation. The study’s authors also put forward the view that lesbians are better about taking turns – that is swapping time taken to pleasure one another more than straight male partners are capable of.

No Fundamental Reason Why Straight Women Shouldn’t Be Way More Orgasmic

This disparity clearly demonstrated that there is no fundamental reason why straight women should be so low down in the orgasm gap. “The fact that lesbian women orgasmed more often than heterosexual women indicates that many heterosexual women could experience higher rates of orgasms,” the authors concluded. “The findings … indicate that the orgasm gap can be reduced … by encouraging a wider variety of activities when men and women are sexually intimate.”

This is a fundamental revelation showing that women should really work on discovering what they enjoy and what brings them off – and for them then to educate their male lovers to up their game and take more trouble to help them achieve the orgasm they’re fully entitled to.
