2. The orgasm gap or orgasm inequality is defined as the
difference in orgasms/ sexual satisfaction experienced by
partners.
3. Orgasm gap: does it actually exist?
•Yes! Studies show that it affects heterosexual men and
women equally and it also reported that lesbians and
bisexual women experience much more orgasms than
heterosexual women.
•Similarly, women have different orgasmic experiences
when alone or with a partner.
•According to research, most women orgasm while
masturbating compared to when having sex.
4. Why is there an orgasm gap?
•There are several reasons for the orgasm gap, but the
most common one is the "CLITORIS" - cultural
ignorance.
•Since the clitoris which contains about 8,000 nerve
endings surrounds the vagina, when it is engaged and
aroused penetration can feel fantastic. However, when it
is not aroused, penetration can feel really uncomfortable
or like nothing because the sensation and pleasure come
from the clitoris, not the vagina.
5. The clitoris, is the only organ in the body that is
completely responsible for sexual pleasure.
6. The orgasm gap: how can it be closed?
•Communication is important because women shouldn't
pretend to orgasm and shouldn't be scared to address the
inequality in the bedroom.
•Foreplay is important.
7. Inequality in the bedroom:
•Inequality in the bedroom is due to the media's portrayal
of sex, particularly in pornography, as well as a cultural
overvaluation of male libido and undervaluation of female
sexuality are to blame.
• Women need direct clitoral stimulation, such as oral sex
and touching, in order to orgasm. However, this is rarely
shown; instead, we see women experiencing fat orgasms
from simple sexual activity.
8. Foreplay and communication are important:
•Women need to be aroused prior to sex so that the
vagina can be lubricated and the cervix doesn't pull back
and block the penis, or else sex can be painful, however,
every woman's body is different when it comes to arousal
so, foreplay is important before intercourse.
•It is important for women to communicate with their
partners about what they like and don't like.
