• Sexual Health
• Psychology

Background:

• Sexuality is a fundamental human need throughout life, with sex drive (libido) underpinning sexual activity.
• Orgasm is a key aspect of sexual experience, and negative emotions can contribute to orgasmic disorders.
• Understanding factors influencing female orgasmic frequency and sexual satisfaction is crucial for sexual health.

Purpose of the Study:

• To identify factors affecting the frequency of orgasmic experiences in adult women.
• To determine the relationship between these factors and overall sexual satisfaction in women.

Main Methods:

• An online original questionnaire was distributed to adult women.
• Data collection occurred from June to July 2021, with 1409 completed responses analyzed.
• Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 26.0 software.

Main Results:

• Most participants (aged 21-30, high school education) reported frequent orgasms, primarily during masturbation (often clitoral).
• Key concerns impacting sexual experiences included insufficient foreplay, lack of passion, and short sexual encounters.
• Sexual satisfaction is highly individualized, influenced by sexual activity quality, frequency, pleasure, general health, and well-being.

Conclusions:

• Masturbation, particularly clitoral stimulation, is a significant source of orgasm for many women.
• Addressing issues like inadequate foreplay and passion may enhance female sexual experiences and satisfaction.
• A holistic view considering physical and psychological well-being is essential for understanding sexual satisfaction.
