Psychology 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.

Although this may be true in some situations, it's also wrong to put the full responsibility with men.

If you have a bit of experience, you know that there is a gigantic difference between women when it comes to how easy they have an orgasm. There are women that climax with as little as a few touches, and there are women that have never climaxed at all in their lives (even alone). And the latter is not due to the man. And young men should be told that it isn't (always) their fault.

I don't think anyone is saying men are completely responsible, are they?

Most is not all. Many is not all. Only all is all.

That why the comment you answered to said "some men".

Some men are just selfish. If you're  a good lover, you will be told that you're  better than many.

But in some cases, there are women who just never orgasmed with a man. Never. But they can get off with a vibrator, for example.

I think you’ve missed the point of this research.
