Everyone wants great sex. There's no denying the mental and physical benefits of a sweet sack session. But what is it about sex that men and women crave the most?
According to experts at Promescent, a leading delay spray for men suffering from premature ejaculation (PE), numerous surveys over the past decade have confirmed that emotional connection, communication, experimentation and even cuddling are all essential components of an exciting sex life. But the one thing that couples always seem to agree upon makes a sex life above average? It's the frequency of orgasms.
Although it's a common debate nowadays on whether or not you need to have an orgasm to have great sex, one thing everyone can agree on is the existence of the all-too-real orgasm gap.
If you ask women, “What is most likely to prevent you from having an orgasm?,” one of the most common responses would be, “my partner doesn't last long enough.”
Known to be a source of sexual dissatisfaction among couples, the dreaded orgasm gap alludes to the fact that men, on average, take just over five minutes to reach their happy ending. (In fact, premature ejaculation is one of the factors that worry men the most besides penis size.)
Women who are able to orgasm through intercourse (aka with penetration alone) can take up to 18 minutes. It's important to mention that only 30 percent of women are able to orgasm this way (without clitoral stimulation).
With women wanting men to last longer, and most men agreeing that longer lasting sex results in more intense orgasms, most couples resort to strategies that try to figure out a way men can delay their orgasms.
