Stereotypes debunked

Instead of the age old myth that women aren’t as interested in sex as men, the survey found that most women felt they weren’t getting enough action between the sheets. Nearly three quarters said that they would prefer to be having sex more than three times a week, and 13% said they’d like to be getting down and dirty more than six times a week. This fits in with the findings of the Stylist Sex Survey 2014, which revealed 60% of women wanted more sex.

Contradicting the view that most women struggle to climax during sex, the survey found that 73% of women were achieving orgasm at least once – or even multiple times during a sexual encounter, and that for many “orgasm isn’t the primary goal of sexual activity.”

Kindara referenced another survey from 1994 which revealed that 75% men and only 29% women were having orgasams with their partners and say:

“Our findings show that in the twenty years since that study was conducted, more women are achieving orgasm during each sexual encounter. This positive change could indicate more equality in giving and receiving pleasure beneath the sheets.” (This also fits with the Stylist Sex Survey findings, which revealed that 57% of women had experienced multiple orgasms.)

Unexpectedly, less than a quarter of women felt foreplay was an essential part of sex.
