Why do so many women reach orgasm more reliably alone, despite partnered orgasms driving satisfaction? The answer points to a few simple shifts that could transform partnered sex.

Key points::

The largest study of women’s orgasms to date collected data from 27,931 women.

Nearly half of the sample (47%) reported reaching orgasm more frequently when alone vs. when with a partner.

The most common reasons for orgasming alone or with a partner related to relational factors, not anatomy.

Partnered orgasms, but not solo orgasms, were associated with overall sexual satisfaction.

    If I can only orgasm once then I want to make sure she can come a few times first before I even start or what’s the point?

      Her ability to orgasm is not only linked to how well you can stimulate her correctly, but also how she feels about the relationship as a whole, about you, and how comfortable she is in being able to “let go” with you. Fascinating little study!
