  Eighty-five percent of American men say the last person they had sex with had an orgasm. And yet, only 64 percent of American women say they had an orgasm the last time they had sex. What's going on, guys?
  
  The "orgasm gap"—which is too big to be explained away by men whose most recent sexual encounter was with another man—is one of the findings of a huge new national sex survey, the largest since 1994, undertaken by Indiana University's Center for Sexual Health Promotion and published in a special issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine available here.
  
  What are men doing wrong? Besides being really gullible? According to the survey, "women are more likely to orgasm when they engage in a variety of sex acts and when oral sex or vaginal intercourse is included," so maybe, you know, uh, switch it up a little more. You know, in bed. If you catch my drift. Sexually. (Women, if you're looking for a tip, here it is: "Men are more likely to orgasm when sex includes vaginal intercourse.")
  
  What else did they learn about Americans in the sack?
  
  Americans are freaks. Some 41 different "combinations of sexual acts" were counted as answers to questions about responder's most recent sexual activity. Bonus points to anyone who can list them all in the comments.
  Plenty of people "experiment." About 7 percent of adult women and 8 percent of adult men identify as gay or bisexual, but higher proportions have engaged in what scientists call "gay stuff" during their lives. The most "experiment-y"? Almost 17 percent of women aged 20-24 have received oral sex from another women during their lives, many of them outside the context of "Girls Gone Wild" videos.
  Everyone loses their virginity in high school. Ten percent of boys and 12.4 percent of girls aged 14-15 said they'd had vaginal intercourse in the past year. By the time they were 18-19, 62.5 percent of boys and 64 percent of girls had engaged in vaginal intercourse, usually after a series of comic misadventures easily compressed into a 90-minute runtime.

  well doesn't women have this hormone that makes it take longer to orgasm?
  
  I remember from the article that how fat guys can last longer in bed and it was because they have the hormone that women have.

  Quote from Wikipedia:

  Orgasm (from Greek orgasmos, from organ to mature, swell, also sexual climax) is the peak of the plateau phase of the sexual response cycle, characterized by an intense sensation of pleasure.[1][2] Experienced by males and females, orgasm is controlled by the involuntary, or autonomic, limbic system, and is accompanied by quick cycles of muscle contraction in the lower pelvic muscles, which surround the primary sexual organs and the anus.[1] Orgasms are often associated with other involuntary actions, including muscular spasms in multiple areas of the body, a general euphoric sensation and, frequently, body movements and vocalizations are expressed.

  
  
  That is how Wiki describes it.

  uhh hard to answer in the realm of the forums. Every woman is different, and you should just try to work with them to get what you both want. That could be said about alot of things.

  Oh, if you mean what you do, you play around with their unmentionables. The woman make a few noises, they get louder, and a sticky wetness occurs down under.

  Isn't that an understatement? Each person differs, some women save themsevles till they get married.

  Kinda reminds me of something I heard...
  
  For men, driving a car is like having sex with a woman. They all believe they're good at it, and when something goes wrong, they blame the car.

  This thread is fine.
  
  We're all mature adults or young adults and therefore we can discuss topics like these.
  
  My opinion is that yes, Americans think they're better in bed than they actually are. It's all about the sex craze with these younger generation of people. It's all talk, I would assume.
  
  Sex is everywhere. Hollywood, TV, movies, radio... you'll see ads for viagra being spammed to emails every once in awhile. It's everywhere.
  
  But that doesn't mean that you should rush into sex.
  
  
  As for men, sex should be meaningful. Guys just wanna do it and that's it.
  
  Ever heard those cliche sayings, it ain't the size of the boat, but the motion of the ocean, etc., etc. Very applicable here.

  Pro-Tip: Don't lie to your partner about orgasms or their overall performance. It will just lead to more problems.
  
  Good communication leads to success which leads to confidence and the ability to perform.
  
  If people would just practice this, everyone really would be as good as they think. I also think people tend focus too much on the orgasm and forget to enjoy each other along the way. This article is a perfect example of putting the orgasm on a pedestal.
