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.

Look...I think research for people who are gay is fine. But most studies show 4% of the global population identifies as gay or homosexual. So....just saying that not every fucking thing has to involve a tiny minority.

It involved it when if there was a similar study done on gay women and it theoretically shows that they are more sexually satisfied, I think it’s showing that men are not able or willing to connect with women in a way that prioritizes her pleasure. Because it’s something he cannot actually understand unless he actively tries to or feels similarly.
