Psychologists from Rutgers University (USA) discovered that women don’t always try to orgasm during sex. The results of the research have been published magazine Journal of Gender Studies.
As the study’s authors note, the “orgasmic gap” for women remains a pressing issue for gender equality. Previous research has shown that women who have orgasm as a goal are more likely to achieve it. But as it turns out, heterosexual women change their goals of achieving orgasm based on sexual contacts.
Thus, if women believe that a hypothetical sexual encounter will be “quick”, they are less likely to reach orgasm than in situations where there is no need to rush. If the partner was selfish, women were not interested in having an orgasm.
“These results suggest that women change their orgasm desires depending on signals that indicate the likelihood of achieving it,” the scientists said.
