"National Orgasm Day (six weeks ago) has come and gone. Celebrated in a dozen countries around the world, it's meant to challenge the taboo against talking about orgasm, especially female orgasm. Masturbating is the sexual activity that's most likely to lead to orgasm, regardless of gender. Of course, you don't need a holiday in order to masturbate -although masturbating can make any day feel like a holiday. Anyway..."
"I've already discussed the so-called orgasm gap here and here. I say that the "orgasm gap" is more of an entitlement gap, a self-knowledge gap, and a communication gap. Of course, I totally support everyone, especially people dissatisfied in bed, in speaking with their sex partners about whatever they'd like to change. And note: you don't have to know how to change something in order to report your discontent and to request change."
Faking orgasm is common among all genders, with more than half of women and about a quarter of men reporting having faked an orgasm. Masturbation is the sexual activity most likely to produce orgasm across genders. The so-called orgasm gap reflects entitlement, self-knowledge, and communication deficits rather than purely physiological differences. Common reasons for faking orgasm include wanting sex to end, avoiding partner disappointment or conflict, preventing partner self-criticism, shame about perceived inadequacy, concealing infidelity suspicions, and hiding a lack of climax during partnered sex. Many of these reasons could be addressed through better communication and do not necessarily indicate a fixable sexual dysfunction.
