Single Women Reach Orgasm 'More Often'

A new sexuality survey has confirmed what women know and some men fear - single females have far more luck achieving orgasm than those partnered off.

Taking men out of the picture allows women to "better connect with themselves", according to sex therapists behind the Queensland study of 500 older women.

The research found that 56 per cent of sexually-active women with no current partner could reach orgasm every time with masturbation compared with only 24 per cent of women with partners.

"That's a significant difference and I'd imagine there are few men out there a little surprised and unimpressed that women have better luck without them," said medical sex therapist Dr Jane Howard.

The findings come from the study What Does Sexuality Mean To Older Women?, which assessed the sex lives of women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s to find trends over the ages.

Dr Howard said she believed women on their own were better at achieving orgasm because they don't have the "distraction" of having to please a man or subscribe to male-type sexual fantasies.

"Arousal is a lot about what erotic thoughts go through the mind, and for women that's very different to men," Dr Howard said.

"It may be focusing on Colin Firth's smouldering eyes, some romantic novel or a waterfall or whatever."

The therapist said the most outstanding aspect of the study was the variety of ways people lived their lives.

"Some people are in relationships and having sex, some are in relationships with no sex, others are single and are having sex ... it was just so varied," Dr Howard said.

She said her results destroyed the cultural myth that people stay in life-long relationships and are sexually functional until they die.

"We like to think of people having wild sex for their whole lives but the reality isn't quite like that," Dr Howard said.

More than 80 per cent of women in their 40s were sexually active, but this figure declined to 27 per cent for those in their 70s.

The fact that 70 per cent of men in their 70s were not capable of having an erection could affect this figure.

But results showed that three quarters of women over 70 were indifferent to sex.

While their libido dropped off and arousal was less, their capacity to orgasm was seemingly unaffected by age.

"That was quite surprising, actually," Dr Howard said.

She said the results would help people understand the true impact that ageing had on sex.

The findings are part of the Longitudinal Assessment of Ageing in Women, conducted by the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital.

70 years old? 27%? Shouldn't they be nearing death or something? Let alone rooting..

The fact that 70 per cent of men in their 70s were not capable of having an erection could affect this figure

I did however find this quite humorous. I mean, sure, young women can screw old men (and take all their wealth), but what does a 70 year old woman have to offer to someone of younger seniority? I'd say by about 60, experience flies out the friggen window..which leaves you with your answer right there. Very little. Hence the statement above about "27%"..

Haha, same reasons i.e. money perhaps?

Well you do hear about old-woman rapes... I don't know. Some things happen.

Although yeah, pretty sure by 70 you don't give a shit about sex.

I suppose it makes sense. If masturbation was all I had to rely on to acheive an orgasm, I'd probably do it a hell of a lot more, and be better at it.

Yeah, and you also get shit like this happening. The world is full of some fucked up people.

(Don't know if the article has any relevance to anything, but i was reading it at the same time, thought i'd add it y'know. Ha)

That article isn't at all surprising.

Doesn't surprise me, I mean, I bet theres a study somewhere proving that single guys enjoy sex more too.

title - i called bullshit...until i saw this

they've probably had a lot of experience by the time they've reached that age..they've probably learnt all the tricks of the trade by then, so they dont need guys

The fact that 70 per cent of men in their 70s were not capable of having an erection could affect this figure.

lol! they've been jerking off too much in past 70 years

what if I don't want to?

I guess making a woman reach orgasm is satisfying, guys usually don't have trouble with it.

Ugh, I found though that with my first few times I was sexually paranoid...and wasn't able to McCum. May have been to do with condoms? They suck a fair bit.

But I think I am sexually paranoid now too...it's evil.

 

[Smurg]

just act like u noe what ur doing..works everytime..

paranoia and anxiety suck big time lol so if ur paranoid it'll be hard to "McCum" obviously..

condoms suck too

Well what I'm saying is it happened my first few times, didn't happen for ages, but now it's been a while since I had to say goodbye to my gf.

I'm pretty sure I'll be sexually paranoid again.

Statistically there'd be more, because out of the whole of 70 yo's there'd at least be some virgins.

i didnt think they bothered letting them out of the nunnery at 70

The topic of this thread is irrelevant because everyone knows that the female orgasm is a myth.

 

[Smurg]

u will be, but try to arm urself with an air of confidence no matter how shitty/paranoid u feel inside

btw does any1 get nervous before sex? ie) heart pounding, etc..?

paranoid?? explain...do u feel u wont perform well? or cant erm..get certain things up?

exactly what makes u paranoid? define paranoia..

also sexual paranoia is more common than u think. its prolli not just u anyway...

do u think it wud make a difference if u had it regularly? getting rid of the paranoia i mean.

ive had to counsel 4 ppl...mite as well round it off to 5 lol joke

get back if u can be fucked to

Maybe the attractiveness of the woman helps a lot.

Maybe alcohol&drugs don't help too much.

It's all in your mind I guess.

It should be fine in future.
