Why don't women climax during sex?
“Climax” is slang for the state of orgasm during sex. According to traditional beliefs, female orgasm is understood as clitoral or vaginal orgasm. However, in reality, this is not entirely true for all women. Some women believe that their orgasm is not in the clitoris or vagina but may be in another sensitive part of the body.
Furthermore, many studies suggest that there are more ways for women to orgasm than just through clitoral or vaginal stimulation. Accordingly, many women experience sexual pleasure when stimulating their breasts, anus or even just thinking about orgasm and sexual acts.
Other reasons why women do not climax during sex
Researchers say that, when receiving sexual stimulation, men can orgasm about 5-10 minutes later. Meanwhile, women can take up to 30 minutes to "peak". Many women cannot even reach orgasm even due to being in uncomfortable environmental conditions. Environmental factors can be understood as space during relationships and daily living conditions.
Another barrier that makes it difficult or impossible for women to reach orgasm during sex is due to past psychological trauma (for example, abuse, sexual abuse, etc.). These injuries can cause a dissociative reaction – that is, a disconnection between the mind and body. In similar situations that remind of past fears, the dissociative reaction can prevent women from achieving sexual pleasure.
