Live and learn ;) Opps Heterosexual men still win. Curious as to why bisexual men are the lowest male orgasm frequency? Do bi guys edge more that hetereo guys or? Your thoughts?
A recent study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine focuses on how sexual orientation associates with orgasm frequency (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jsm.12669/abstract) in single men and women.
Although responses from the male participants did not vary much based on sexual orientation -- heterosexual men reported an 85.5 percent orgasm rate, gay men 84.7 percent, and bisexual men 77.6 percent -- responses from women showed notable variation. While heterosexual women reported orgasming 61.6 percent of the time and bisexual women reported 58 percent, lesbian women had the highest orgasm (http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2014/08/19/lesbians-more-likely-to-have-orgasms-than-straight-women/) rate at 74.7 percent.
In the study text, the researchers posit the higher lesbian percentage could be attributed to factors such as "self-identified lesbian women are more comfortable and familiar with the female body and thus, on average, are better able to induce orgasm in their female partners." Other reasonings include: length of the sexual encounter, attitude towards gender, sexual roles during intercourse and possible hormonal differences.
"Little is known about orgasm occurrences among women and men of varied sexual orientations across the adult lifespan," he said. "Understanding the factors that influence variation in orgasm occurrence among sexual minority populations may assist in tailoring behavioral therapies for those of different sexual orientations."
Such a study could offer better insight into better orgasms for all couples, he said.
"Moreover, to the extent that lack of orgasm is seen as a common and unwanted problem, learning more about orgasm in same-sex relationships may inform treatment for men and women in both same-sex and mixed-sex relationships. Consequently, these findings may contribute to promotion of a more informed and positive sexual health care."
