Lesbians are apparently having better S-ex than straight
women.
A recent study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine
focuses on how sexual orientation associates with orgasm
frequency in single men and women.
Researchers collected responses via a 2011 online
questionnaire from 6,151 men and women between the
ages of 21 and 65. They then only analyzed those response
of a smaller subsample of 2,850 singles — including 1,497
men and 1,353 women — who had sex within the past 12
months.
Participants were asked to identify their gender, sexual
orientation and percentage of time they orgasm with a
familiar partner on a scale of zero to 100.
Although responses from the male participants did not
vary much based on sexual orientation — heterosexual
men reported an 85.5 percent orgasm rate, gay men 84.7
percent, and bisexual men 77.6 percent — responses from
women showed notable variation. While heterosexual
women reported orgasming 61.6 percent of the time and
bisexual women reported 58 percent, lesbian women had
the highest orgasm rate at 74.7 percent.
In the study text, the researchers posit the higher lesbian
percentage could be attributed to factors such as “self-
identified lesbian women are more comfortable and familiar
with the female body and thus, on average, are better able
to induce orgasm in their female partners.” Other
reasonings include: length of the sexual encounter, attitude
towards gender, sexual roles during intercourse and
possible hormonal differences.
Author Justin R. Garcia, MS, PhD, who is an assistant
professor of gender studies and a director at the Kinsey
Institute at Indiana University, explained the implications of
the findings further in an email to The Huffington Post.
“Little is known about orgasm occurrences among women
and men of varied sexual orientations across the adult
lifespan,” he said. “Understanding the factors that influence
variation in orgasm occurrence among sexual minority
populations may assist in tailoring behavioral therapies for
those of different sexual orientations.”
Such a study could offer better insight into better orgasms
for all couples, he said.
“Moreover, to the extent that lack of orgasm is seen as a
common and unwanted problem, learning more about
orgasm in same-sex relationships may inform treatment
for men and women in both same-sex and mixed-sex
relationships. Consequently, these findings may contribute
to promotion of a more informed and positive sexual health
care.”
