A new study found that women in casual relationships are less likely to have orgasms during the intercourse than those who do it with their romantic partners.
Justin R. Garcia, lead author of the study and an evolutionary biologist at the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University, and his colleagues from Binghamton University, conducted a survey among 600 college students. They found out that women were twice more likely to have orgasms from intercourse or oral sex in committed relationships than in casual hookups.
In a similar study led by Paula England, a sociologist at New York University who studies the dynamics of casual sex, wherein 24,000 students in 21 colleges participated, the researchers found that only 80 percent of men reached an orgasm in their last casual intercourse, while only 42 percent of women did.
Furthermore, in contrary to that, 74 percent of women reached an orgasm during a sexual intercourse in a romantic relationship.
England told the Sydney Morning Herald, “We attribute that to practice with a partner, which yields better success at orgasm, and we also think the guys care more in a relationship.”
Men confirmed that statement is undeniably true. Many of the male participants said that they don’t care much on the sexual satisfaction of the women who they have just casually met than the one they are romantically involved with. Aside from that, it is also awkward to talk about specifics with a stranger in the bedroom before making out. For women, it is also a bit complicated to discuss what they really want during a casual sex which is mainly one of the reasons for orgasm delays and sexual dissatisfaction.
The first study was presented at the annual meeting of the International Academy of Sex Research while the second study was presented at the Annual Convention for Psychological Science.
