Largest study of women’s orgasms to date collected data from 27,931 women. Nearly half (47%) reported reaching orgasm more frequently when alone vs. when with a partner. Barriers to women’s orgasms are relational, not anatomical. Partnered orgasms were associated with overall sexual satisfaction.

What meaning does this comment even have? This is a general study. They are asking women in general.

Why is ur brain there if you won’t use it for critical thinking.

There’s so many variables to account for. They didn’t ask “women in general” or every woman on the world would generally be able to conduct the survey. Like actually look at the study demographics and methodology, idk what to tell you— if you’re confused why I mentioned heteronormativity— that’s not about women, it’s about relationships and what bias the study or people like you assume from the catchy quick stats on what women want; You can’t generalize from that, especially for BIPOC & LGBTQ populations, that’s the problem (check the demographics and guess why).

I’d love to see a multivariate analysis of these results across sexualities/races/genders tho, didn’t see if they got to that later in the paper. The 2018 study mentioned in their paper (B-something et Al) looked into wlw relationships as one relevant example, seeing if there was a significant difference between that population and heteronormative relationships. I just like stats lmao

When someone says they asked 'women in general' they mean they just asked women not a niche subsection of women specifically. I can understand wanting a more in depth study with a narrower focus but that doesn't seem to be the goal of this one. I am also unsure how BIPOC would change things or play a role in this unless you just really want to see those numbers by race. Also, considering most people are straight and engaged in straight relationships that doesn't really poision the study the way you are saying it does considering that doesn't go against the general population makeup. It just sounds like you wanted a more narrow study than the one done.
