AIBU that stat of 49% of women climax every time can’t be right?

Just read this DM article… AIBU that stat that the most unsatisfied women still report 49% climax every time must be a skewed sample?

I don’t have any issues alone but have never climaxed through PIV with any partner… I can’t be that unusual?

YABU- I climax more often than not
YANBU- i climax less that 49% of the time

Every time for me, a few times. Looking at other responses I’m obviously incredibly lucky.

Why do people bother without it? It’d make me really annoyed, and just wouldn’t bother.

Same.
And if it were straight men having an orgasm less than half the time, I doubt "the intimacy/closeness" would be enough for them.
I was watching TV last night and there was a quick sex scene, which straight away was PIV - because, strangely, the act that results in orgasm for almost all men and only a small percentage of women is always the act that's emphasised.

TorviShieldMaiden · 31/07/2023 17:47

I’ve backed myself into a stupid organ corner with DP. I can’t orgasm from just PIV. I have some issues from a previous abusive relationship, and for some reason I lied/faked with DP. Even though he’s amazing, and attentive and would be really upset to know.

But it’s been 2 years and now I can’t really tell him I lied ☹️. I have had real ones alongside him if I use a vibrator. Age, abuse and medication mean I find it hard enough to get myself off.

Elsiebear90 · 31/07/2023 17:55

I orgasm every time, I’m a lesbian, but even if I was straight there’s no way I would be having sex where I regularly don’t orgasm, it’s a non negotiable for me.

I don’t understand why so many straight women put up with this crap tbh, fair enough if you are on medication or have a medical problem where you can’t even make yourself orgasm, but if it’s because you partner isn’t satisfying you then they need to learn and you need to speak up.

CantFindTheBeat · 31/07/2023 17:59

I always do, at least as long as I can remember.

Can't imagine being that keen to do it if I didn't.

spuddel · 31/07/2023 18:08

Organsm PIV almost always with dh, and ex partner. Can't see the point of sex if that didn't happen although oral is good too but just not the main event for me/us.

It doesn't say PIV so is referring to any type of female orgasm during a "session". I actually think 49% is really low. The male partners must be rubbish! If I had sex with someone who couldn't be bothered to make sure I climaxed I wouldn't bother again. Honestly what would be the point? I'm not just a vessel for male pleasure.

I love the Samantha Jones quote “Fuck me badly once, shame on you. Fuck me badly twice, shame on me.” 👌

Weddingpuzzle · 31/07/2023 18:19

Always orgasm a couple of times during foreplay. Can orgasm PIV, doesn't always happen though, mostly I need manual stimulation externally too for PIV orgasms. I often say I wish DH could go down on me at the same time as PIV but he says that's anatomically impossible, I say he's not trying hard enough Grin

I'd love to introduce a bullet and have said it in the throes of passion and DH has said I can if I want but I suspect he's not that keen which is a bit annoying as it feels like that's an ego thing not a 'what can I do to ensure my wife has an orgasm' thing. I am uncharacteristically shy about bringing it up too.

lilyboleyn · 31/07/2023 18:21

Never orgasmed with a partner, very difficult to do it myself as well. Medication I’m on makes it nigh on impossible. Apparently autistic women do struggle. Feel like I’m broken, definitely feel under pressure to fake it with new partners, the one time I thought I was close I actually just weed myself 😨have tried absolutely everything but even before the meds a man never made me cum. Have various expensive vibrators and managed to get off once in front of current partner after nigh on 20 mins of that.

DungareesAndTrombones · 31/07/2023 18:24

Always orgasm, and through PIV with H but he is the only one I've ever done this with. Got close with other people but something about us together just clicks.

PurpleButterflyWings · 31/07/2023 18:32

Most women are not going to admit that they don't climax during PIV sex. The vast majority do not.

HangingOver · 31/07/2023 18:36

Never had one solely from something someone else has done to me. But it works if I'm helping.

I climas through PIV 80% of occasions we have set, 10% of the time though other stimulation and 10% don't orgasm (roughly), I personally think I come very easily though

PhantomUnicorn · 31/07/2023 18:45

i rarely dont orgasm during sex as a whole, sometimes its assisted. PIV orgasm is hit and miss, depends on mood and rhythm.

The comments about not bothering if you dont get to orgasm surprise me though.. current partner is mind blowing in bed, and while i might not get to orgasm while PIV, he certainly knows how to make it feel amazing. the intimacy with him is more important than the O

MrsMiddleMother · 31/07/2023 19:04

I nearly always orgasm through piv

winterchills · 31/07/2023 19:08

What does PIV mean? Ive tried to google ha!

StrawberryWater · 31/07/2023 19:11

I orgasm through PIV sex about 80% of the time.

PurpleButterflyWings · 31/07/2023 19:13

What does PIV mean? Ive tried to google ha!

'Penis in vagina...' (like 'ordinary' sexual intercourse.) Smile

MrsElsa · 31/07/2023 19:14

No one talking about g spot orgasms then? 😆

Agree with PP, once shame on you but twice shame on me!

Men who didn't bother trying to /co operating with getting me off didn't get many more goes. Absolutely blows my mind that women are out there faking it, just why even bother shagging anyone then.

NorthernGirlie · 31/07/2023 19:15

@SauronsArsehole I have lymphedema, never known it linked to orgasm - I'm off to Google it now!

GigiAnnna · 31/07/2023 19:20

I orgasm 9 times out of ten when I have penetrative sex. It's all about the G spot for me for that to happen. My husband knows exactly how to hit the spot and will ensure I orgasm a few times during sex. With previous partners I would rarely orgasm, unless clitoral stimulation by myself was introduced.

Shurleyknot · 31/07/2023 08:40

I had to google PIV, yuck. To answer your question until I met my DP I had never had an orgasm through penetration but since the first night we slept together it is a very common occurance. I used to think women lied when they said they orgasmed through penetration but nope it would appear it happens I am delighted to say.

Had to Google PIV yuck….
Wtaf 🤦‍♀️

Shurleyknot · 31/07/2023 19:23

The fact it is lettered instead of the word penetration or something used hardly the act itself as I love my orgasms from penetration just not a fan of what PIV stands for itself.

oviraptor21 · 31/07/2023 19:24

Yep - the G spot is key for me and some men just don't have the anatomy to connect with it!
However 90% of my enjoyment of sex is the actual act ie. the sensations prior to orgasm so if I'm with a guy that doesn't have the anatomy it doesn't really bother me, especially as the orgasm usually spells the end of the session 😊
