Women Orgasm: Men Orgasm Almost Three Times More Compared To Women
Listen up ladies: Many of us aren't achieving the "big O."
In results released by the Durex Sexual Wellbeing Global Survey,
it was found that 84 per cent of men in Canada can reach an orgasm --
but only 31 per cent of women do. Despite those numbers, 69 per cent of
ladies are claiming to be sexually satisfied.
“The findings suggest the majority of Canadian women simply ‘make do’
with a mediocre sex life,' said Jana Swedburg, brand manager of Durex
Canada in a press release. “We also found that having great sex improves
mood and reduces stress, indicating that a fulfilling sex life is a key
component to psychological well-being.”
The survey also found that compared with the global average (36 other
countries, including the United States and UK), Canadians are better
communicators with their partners, use more lubricant and enjoy more
role-playing games.
In Canada, 38 per cent of us enjoy using sex toys, but there are some
cities that stand out more than others. A survey by adult sex toy
company PinkCherry earlier this year found that Toronto, Edmonton and Calgary spent the most cash on sex toys annually. This shouldn't be a surprise, however, as another study found that sex toys could soon become the world's favorite gadget.
Still thinking about that orgasm statistic? Check out how the rest of Canada's sex life compares to the rest of the world:
Talk To Your Partner
Many of us aren't afraid to let our significant others know what we want
-- almost half the population talks to their partners about sex in
Canada, while globally, the number is 42%. We're wondering how sex would
be different if both those numbers were much higher.
Using Lubricants
Worldwide, 33% of the population has used lubricants, while in Canada
that number jumps up to 50%. Of all the accessories for the bedroom,
this one was certainly the most popular -- and perhaps the most
accessible.
Trying Sex Toys
Canadians appear to be pretty advanced when it comes to sex toys -- a
full 38% have tried one or many out, while only 24% globally have given
these options a shot.
Sought Information
The numbers for looking up information about sex online stand at 30%
globally and 28% for Canadians -- and admit it, that is way lower than
you thought it would be.
Role-Playing Games
While for a certain population, role playing games means gun-toting
video games, in the bedroom, this can be anything from tying each other
up to acting out a long-held fantasy -- and only 11% of people worldwide
do this, while 15% of Canadians are into it.
Number One Fantasy
And speaking of fantasy, the number one sexual fantasy around the world?
Having sex with more than one person at the same time -- 21% globally,
and 20% in Canada say that's their first choice.
Strip Tease
Shedding pieces of clothing, slowly, one at a time ... we've all seen
the movie scenes, and across the world, 14% of people have acted it out
in reality. Canadians are just slightly up from there, at 15%.
Role Play
Even across the board at 13%, role play is a slightly less intense
version of role-playing -- perhaps just an outfit, instead of an entire
persona.
Massage
Now, with 11% globally and 12% Canada-wide having given or received a
massage, we can only imagine there's a lot of tense sexual partners out
there. Do they
know the number of options for oils and scents?
Bondage/S&M
Pain doesn't always seem to equal pleasure in the bedroom. Bondage and
S&M has been undertaken by just less than 10% of the general
population -- 8% worldwide, and 9% in Canada.
Sexting
Considering how much we hear about sexting -- yes, we're still talking
about you, Anthony Weiner -- you'd think it was enormously prevalent.
But in fact, only 6% of people in the world have done it, and 7% in
Canada.
Sex As Stress Reliever
We should all be having more sex -- that's the message received loud and
clear when we hear that 70% of Canadians say they're in a better mood
after sex. Meanwhile, 53% of people in the world said sex makes them
feel less stressed, and 61% of Canadians concurred.
Sexual Pleasure
Despite the stats showing that men in Canada orgasm almost three times
more than women, 78% of Canadians say their partner is good at providing
sexual pleasure (75% around the globe say the same). So in that case,
is sexual pleasure defined differently than orgasms?
Orgasms
As we mentioned, 84% men were reported to orgasm, while only 31% of
women do -- a number that seems highly unfair for both parties. After
all, who wants to have sex with someone who isn't having nearly as much
fun as you are?
