The Gender Gap in Orgasms: Survey Data from a Mid-sized Canadian City

Abstract: Objective: Previous research has established a gap in orgasm frequency between men and women. This study investigates explanations for the gender gap in orgasm.

Results: We find a strong association between women’s orgasms and the type of sexual behavior in which partners engage. Women who receive oral sex are more likely to reach orgasm. Conclusion: Sexual pract… Show more

“…Because sexual wellness may be considered nonessential, sexual medicine services might be reduced along with maternal and reproduction health services, affecting women disproportionately [ 12 , 13 ]. In addition, pre-existing inequalities affecting homelife, work [ 14 , 15 ], and sexual pleasure [ 16 , 17 ], as well as higher vulnerability to affective disorders [ 18 20 ], and to sexual dysfunction [ 21 , 22 ], could be contributing to decreased sexual health among women during this period. Notably, sexual problems manifest in the context of overlapping systems of oppression that besides gender also intersect with aspects such as race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status [ 23 ].…”

“…Hierbei werden sehr vielfältige praktische Vorschläge unterbreitet. Eine Reihe von Studien werben dafür, ergänzend zur Penetration deutlich mehr und längere manuelle und/oder orale Stimulation von Vulva und äußerer Klitoris in den Heterosex zu integrieren, da diese Stimulationsformen bislang oft zu kurz kommen, für viele Frauen aber eher zum Orgasmus führen als Penetration ( Andrejek und Fetner 2019 ; Andrejek et al 2022 ; Archer 2017 ; Blair et al 2018 ; Frederick et al 2018 ; Hensel et al 2022 ; Jozkowski und Satinsky 2013 ; Matsick et al 2016 ; Richters et al 2006 ; Warshowsky et al 2020a , 2020b ). Weiterhin wird empfohlen, die Penetration zu variieren, um diese lustvoller und orgasmusträchtiger für Frauen zu gestalten.…”

“…Insofern die Ursachen für die Orgasmus-Lücke in geschlechterungerechten sexuellen Rollenvorgaben und kulturell verankerten männlichen Privilegien verortet werden, muss eine ursächliche Lösung auch dort ansetzen. Dementsprechend werden eine Sensibilisierung der Öffentlichkeit und auch regelrechte Kampagnen gefordert, etwa zur Bedeutung der Klitoris, zur Abschaffung sexueller Doppelmoral, zur Entstigmatisierung weiblicher Lust, zur Demarginalisierung weiblicher Orgasmen und somit zur geschlechtergerechteren Gestaltung des heterosexuellen Skripts ( Andrejek und Fetner 2019 ; Andrejek et al 2022 ; Archer 2017 ; Beckmeyer et al 2021 ; Frederick et al 2018 ; Gusakova et al 2020 ; Hensel et al 2022 ; Jozkowski und Satinsky 2013 ; Laan und Rellini 2011 ; Lentz und Zaikman 2021 ; Mahar et al 2020 ; Matsick et al 2016 ; Towne 2019 ; Wade et al 2005 ).…”
