Men orgasm 30 per cent more often than women during sex, study finds – and expert reveals all the reasons why

MEN orgasm 30 per cent more often than women during sex, a study found.

And the sexual climax gender gap was true at every age from 18 to 100.

Women are far less likely to orgasm during sex than their male partners, a study showsAlamy

Experts say it shows blokes are not clued up on how to pleasure their partners — and may not care.

Data from nearly 25,000 people revealed men climax during sex between 70 and 85 per cent of the time.

But women claimed they did so only 46 to 58 per cent of the time — almost a third lower.

Sexually active Brits get it on once a week on average and polls regularly find women orgasm less often.

Study author Dr Amanda Gesselman, from Indiana University, suggested inadequate sex education, too little foreplay and biological differences could be to blame.

But there may also be a bias towards “favouring men’s pleasure”.

She said: “The orgasm gap may be attributed to cultural influences and norms, such as the undervaluing of women’s sexual satisfaction, biased sexual education and the emphasis on penetrative sex.”

The study on singles in the US found that women were more sexually satisfied the older they got, but the orgasm gap got bigger.
