Straight women are less likely to have an orgasm during sexual intimacy than any other group — including straight men, gay men, lesbians, bisexual men and bisexual women — according to a new study whose title could be "Duh."
The orgasm gap is well-documented ("replicates a wide body of existing literature," is the research-speak) but remains ripe for exploration, given that it hasn't yet closed.
In the latest study, "Differences in Orgasm Frequency Among Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Heterosexual Men and Women in a U.S. National Sample," researchers from Chapman University, Indiana University and the Kinsey Institute examined the sexual behaviors of more than 52,000 American adults to determine who's having the most orgasms and why. The findings are published in the upcoming issue of Archives of Sexual Behavior.
