Spain is the European country with the highest degree of satisfaction in their sexual life, ahead of the Netherlands (70%) and Portugal (64%). This is reflected in a survey carried out by Ipsos, a French multinational market research and consultancy, which points out that 72% of Spaniards feel satisfied with their sexual relations. Spaniards have sex an average of 7.6 times a month. La Rioja is the Spanish province where sex is practiced most frequently, with an average of 11.25 times a month. On the other hand, Albacete is the province with the lowest number of sexual relations per month, with an average of 5.90 times.

Everyone deserves a satisfying and pleasurable sex life. However, while 75.8% of people reach orgasm most of the time or always with partnered sex, there are some key differences that persist in the bedroom. This is revealed by a study on sexual habits in Spain carried out by the Diversual erotic shop among 6,440 people between the ages of 18 and over 60. According to this study, a 64.6% of the people with a vulva surveyed affirm that they reach orgasm always or most of the time in their sexual encounters compared to 94.1% that people with a penis get. In all age ranges of the people who responded to the study, this difference occurs in favor of people with a penis.

The orgasmic gap between men and women, a reality that must be changed

The difference in the frequency of orgasms between people with a vulva and people with a penis is known by sexuality experts as the orgasmic gap. This term was first coined by the Dr. Laurie Mintzprofessor at the University of Florida and author of the book Becoming Cliterate: Why Orgasm Equality Matters – And How to Get It. The truth is that many women find it more difficult to reach orgasm and this difficulty occurs above all in experiences with a partner and more frequently during intercourse.

Why does the orgasmic gap exist?

It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what causes the orgasmic gap or why it exists, but we do know for sure that there are a few things that play into the difference in orgasm frequency between people with vulvae and people with penises. The reasons are multiple and of a diverse nature.: lack of sexual education, poor self-knowledge, poor communication with the partner, focusing the erotic encounter on penetration, putting one’s own pleasure above the partner’s.

What can we do to close the orgasmic gap?

The orgasmic gap places sex within a discourse of inequality, where people with a vulva are the losers and people with a penis are the winners. Sex is often a disappointment for people with a vulva, hence the importance of bridging the orgasmic gap. To achieve this, it is important to try to increase arousal to the maximum, give the clitoris the prominence it deserves, increase communication, dedicate more time to stimulation and non-penetrative practices, include accessories and/or erotic toys, among other things.

Sexuality experts emphasize the importance of the clitoris in bridging the orgasmic gap. With its 8,000 nerve endings, it is the clitoris, not the vagina, that is the part of a woman’s body that experiences the most sexual pleasure. In fact, most women need direct or indirect clitoral stimulation, including oral sex and caressing, to reach orgasm, so it must also be taken into account during relationships as a couple, even during intercourse. All these aspects are essential so that people with a vulva stop being the group with the least probability of having an orgasm.
