Straight women are less likely to have an orgasm during sexual intimacy than any other group including straight men, gay men, lesbians, bisexual men and bisexual women according to a new study whose title could be "Duh."
The orgasm gap is well-documented ("replicates a wide body of existing literature," is the research-speak) but remains ripe for exploration, given that it hasn't yet closed.
In the latest study, "Differences in Orgasm Frequency Among Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Heterosexual Men and Women in a U.S. National Sample," researchers from Chapman University, Indiana University and the Kinsey Institute examined the sexual behaviors of more than 52,000 American adults to determine who's having the most orgasms and why. The findings are published in the upcoming issue of Archives of Sexual Behavior.
"There's been a lot of research on orgasm frequency, but there isn't very much data that includes how both gender and sexual orientation relate to orgasm frequency," lead author David A. Frederick, assistant professor of psychology at Chapman University, told me.

(16,245 posts)By far the most selfish men in the US that I ever met were those. Unwilling to do what it takes, if you know what it means. It is reflective of the conservative mindset, the unwillingness to try new things or to be in an equitable relationship.
Liberals by and large are better, if not always perfect. Most of the time, from my small sample size, they are at least willing to try.

(599 posts)This reminds me of my old friends years ago who used to complain that the women they dated were crazy. They failed to realize that it was mostly their own fault -- i.e. they chose women mostly for their looks and not for their emotional stability or maturity.

(12,368 posts)Any additional pleasurable activity involving other body parts is highly desirable, but not always necessary.
In other words, one should be responsible for one's own orgasms. Having a playful partner is just an added bonus.
