“Our study empirically demonstrates that women need to get out of their heads and into their bodies to have more frequent and satisfying orgasms,” says Megan Klabunde from the Department of Psychology at the University of Essex, UK.

“Interestingly, we found that women rated their orgasm frequency and satisfaction significantly higher for solitary as compared to partnered sexual interactions,” the authors write in the study published in the journal Brain Sciences .

“When examining how … interoceptive awareness relates to orgasm in women, we found that, as predicted, increased awareness was associated with both higher orgasm frequency and satisfaction.”

“This study is important because most research looking at orgasms in women have focused on their dysfunction.”

“Better understanding the process to orgasm for women could lead to their increased well-being in addition to boosting relationship satisfaction for women and their partners.”
