According to researchers, these are the 5 reasons why women do not orgasm

Cumming is no longer just something for men: claim your place in bed and make sure you see stars. Why? Because it's incredibly pleasurable.

So come on, grab a vibe and before you know it, you're at your peak. Nice. And sometimes it's also necessary to unwind from daily stress, right? Yet not every woman easily reaches orgasm during sex. Men don't always either , but on average they do so more often than women.

Why doesn't it always work? Research shows that as many as eleven different factors can play a role. During the study, no less than 452 women were examined. With the help of questionnaires, they could choose from various relevant statements, such as: ‘sex with my partner does not interest me’, ‘I find sex painful‘ or: ‘I am self-conscious about my body and physical appearance‘.

These are the most notable results that seem to prevent women from reaching orgasm:

1. They are too stressed and their minds are elsewhere during sex. Even if it's just something like: I still have so much to do or I'm probably not doing this position right.

2. About half of the women lack arousal. Yes, that sounds strange, but sometimes sex is just something they don't think about and they don't do it because they are incredibly horny. Make yourself hornier, watch porn, whisper naughty things to each other... Do something to improve your mood.

3. According to the latest statistics, most women reach orgasm when a good sexual encounter lasts at least fourteen minutes. They definitely need that long to truly enjoy an orgasm. So take that time, and choose the right positions. Standing doesn't usually work well for a woman, but lying on her stomach with a couple of fingers on the clitoris does.

4. A quarter of the women indicated that pain during sex is the reason they cannot orgasm. Very unfortunate, and especially if you've already had children, you'll notice that things down there don't feel the same anymore. Therefore, really take your time and relax, and also communicate this to your partner. That already relieves some pressure and reduces tension during the act. The less pressure and ‘having to’, the better you feel and the more you dare to let go.

5. Also let yourself go. If you want to orgasm, go for positions you enjoy, toys you like, foreplay that you enjoy. Done. It can also revolve around you in bed. Really.
