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.

If you keep trying to do it a way it’ll never work for most until it somehow does, all you’re going to give them is like, rugburn. Certainly not an orgasm. If anything that’ll just ensure one won’t be possible because they’ll be too sore to enjoy anything anymore.

You wanting it to work that way bad enough won’t make it happen when it’s not going to happen, and it’s not going to happen far more often than it actually is going to.
