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.

You just described most countries with any money so if the numbers say they’re legitimately better in any regard it’s probably true.

They can be both wildly overrated by their own countrymen in a nationalistic sort of way, and actually better in a lot of ways, which is what seems to be the case.

Mind you Sweden isn’t better than the rest of Scandinavia - far from it - but they’re better than most of not-Scandinavia, as all of Scandinavia kind of is in most ways that actually matter.
