"Men and women experience orgasm in very different ways - sex experts explain why sexual communication is the only way to close that gap"
"There's a word for that moment when you're desperately close to an orgasm, but then the urge suddenly disappears for reasons you can't explain. It's called 'the arousal gap' and it's much more common than you think."
"'You can become physically wet or your penis can get erect in a situation where you don't want to have sex. The opposite can also happen - your brain can say yes, but your body doesn't,' sex educator Jenny Keane says."
Men and women commonly experience differences in arousal, desire, and orgasmic response, creating mismatches during sexual encounters. A specific phenomenon called the arousal gap describes moments when orgasmic urge vanishes unexpectedly despite prior escalation. Bodily responses can occur without accompanying desire, or desire can exist without physical readiness, producing confusion and frustration. Recognizing physiological and psychological mismatches is important to addressing sexual dissatisfaction. Open sexual communication about timing, preferences, consent, and bodily signals helps partners attune to each other and reduces the likelihood of arousal gaps. Improved communication fosters greater mutual pleasure and understanding.
