What is the orgasm gap? Here’s why experts say we may want to reevaluate the very definition of sex

Why is the orgasm gap happening?

When it comes to men and women having orgasms during sex, there is a gap that’s hard to ignore.

According to a 2017 study published by the Archives of Sexual Behavior, 95% of heterosexual men usually or always orgasmed when sexually intimate, while just 65% of heterosexual women did.

While the researchers call out this “notable” gap, other studies suggest this doesn’t necessarily mean it’s more challenging for women who have sex with men to orgasm in general — because they’re doing perfectly fine on their own. A separate study of more than 800 college women found that 39% of them said they always orgasm during masturbation — while just 6% said they always orgasm during sex with a partner.

In fact, research suggests that women who have sex with men aren’t getting off on penetrative sex alone — which means many aren’t orgasming with their partners at all.
