If you open any porn tube site and click a video starring a man and a woman, chances are, she’s writhing around in pleasure seconds after penetration (and she’s almost certainly being penetrated). She’s also most definitely orgasming before her male partner(s). Despite being almost ubiquitous in porn, most women will tell you this scene doesn’t look like their own sexual experiences at all.
The Orgasm Gap, sometimes called the Pleasure Gap, is a term coined in the early 2000s, to describe the difference in frequency of orgasms achieved during sex between cis men and cis women (although some of the first studies suggesting a gap were done in the 1990s). Spoiler alert: There’s a big difference between the two experiences. And the odds are not in women’s favour.
But why do women orgasm less than men? Are we just hardwired
