Female Orgasm: Busting Myths To Ensure Both Partners Have A Gala Time During Sex

Female orgasm seems to be an unexplored territory for most people. According to Psychology Today, 50% to 70% of women in heterosexual relationships have reported experiencing orgasm compared to 95% of men.

Why is the count so low for women? Well, one thing is evident that most people either know very little or do not care enough about a woman achieving the big ‘O’ as long as their needs are satisfied.

Another reason could be less communication and more belief in myths that surround female orgasm. In this article, we are busting a few.

Women Experience Orgasm Only Through Penetration

According to ABC News, 75% of women never experience orgasm only by penetration alone. They need the clitoris to be stimulated via friction, hands, pleasure toys or tongue.

Orgasming via penetration depends on the distance between vagina and clitoris. If the distance is more, a woman would definitely need a hand. There are 10% to 15% of women who never climax under any circumstances.

Self-Pleasure Ruins Orgasms

One of the biggest myths associated with female orgasm is that self-pleasure can ruin her chances of achieving it with her partner. However, its opposite is true. While masturbating, you can explore multiple ways to stimulate the clitoris.

The more you practice, the better you get at it. The same goes for orgasm. The more you explore, the better you know how to reach the climax. Hence, if you like masturbating, you must not surrender to this fake piece of information.

Women Must Experience Multiple Orgasms All The Time

A study published in the New York Times revealed that only 15% of women have ever experienced multiple orgasms. Most men need some time, a refractory period, before they can experience orgasm again.

However, women can stay in a heightened arousal state long after experiencing orgasm. In such a case, they can experience orgasm in waves, which is defined as multiple orgasms. If you can experience it, amazing for you but if you cannot, don’t be disheartened.

Men And Women Take Equal Time To Climax

This is probably the worst myth that you can believe. It is probably why men think that if they have orgasmed, their significant other would have also achieved it.

On the contrary, most women take longer to orgasm. Therefore, as a thumb rule, men must spend more time in the foreplay to help their partners experience orgasm. One can also offer external help after they have orgasmed.

Good Sex Means Women Orgasm

Firstly, sex is not always about climax. The journey has priority over destination. It is 100% possible that a woman enjoyed the intercourse without achieving an earth-shattering orgasm.

Climax is important but not always. In such a situation, if you communicate, your partner might just tell you that she had a great time.
