If pornography has accustomed us to perceive orgasm as a particularly noisy moment of pleasure, the reality is often quite different. The climax of pleasure can be expressed in different ways, and it seems that men sometimes have difficulty perceiving their partner’s enjoyment.
A study conducted in 2018 by a group of researchers from the University of Brigham Young was interested in the orgasm of newly married heterosexual couples. From a sample of 1,683 couples, the scientists questioned the orgasm frequency of each person as well as their partner. Their answers allowed them to understand the possible erroneous perception between the orgasms declared by one and the orgasms perceived by the other. At the same time, each respondent completed a questionnaire to establish an index of relationship satisfaction and sexual satisfaction.
In terms of orgasm, the results are already particularly unequal. In fact, 87% of husbands reported regularly having an orgasm compared to 49% of wives. And if women have fewer orgasms, men do not always seem to notice it since 43% of husbands have misperceived the frequency of their partner’s orgasms.
Finally, the more a couple reported having good sexual communication, the more their sexual satisfaction increased, and the orgasms were also more numerous. For men, perceiving orgasms from their partner is also correlated with higher sexual satisfaction. For women, sexual satisfaction is correlated with their own orgasms, the question remains whether they are satisfied because they have orgasms or whether they have orgasms because they are satisfied.
Researchers say when therapists counsel couples, they should pay special attention to female orgasm to help both women and men be more satisfied.
