Women Having More Orgasms Than Men?

A new survey titled the 2015 SKYN Condoms Millennial Sex Survey asked 2,814 women and 2,302 men between the ages of 18-34 a series of questions about their sex lives and found that millennial women are orgasming from sex almost as often as men. nearly 90% of women surveyed said they reach an orgasm during sex, compared to 97% of millennial men. Even further, 44% of women say they typically have at least two orgasms during sex compared to 36% of men. 

Still, nearly 60% of millennial women say they've faked an orgasm, only 9% say they fake it always or most of the time. So what's behind this increase in female orgasms?

It's all about knowing what we want and speaking up. Communication is very important during sex. There are so many more products and so much more information for women to learn about what they want and feel empowered in their sexuality. 

Previous generations were socialized to believe that sex was all about a man's pleasure but young women understand that women have just as much of a right to be satisfied in bed and they're demanding it. 

There will likely be a gap between a male and female's ability to orgasm especially because there are so many more factors that go into a women's orgasm. Women are less mechanical than men. The brain is the largest sex organ so the right mindset is essential.
