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.

    “Nearly half of the sample (47%) reported reaching orgasm more frequently when alone vs. when with a partner.” Erm, doesn’t this mean that more women orgasm with a partner than alone? Anyway sex is more than just orgasming in my opinion and if either party doesn’t reach orgasm it’s as much on them as on their partner tbh!
