1. Orgasms Are Good For Your Wellbeing
Orgasms aren’t only pleasurable, they're very good for your health and wellbeing. They can relieve stress, strengthen the immune system, and improve the health of the heart.
Orgasms are great for your mental and physical wellbeing in a range of ways, especially in the context of a loving relationship.
Sexual pleasure improves your mood by helping to release tension and lowering blood pressure. This happens because, during orgasm the brain releases oxytocin ('the cuddle hormone') which makes you feel warm and relaxed. The more relaxed you are, the less tension in your body and the better you will sleep.
The big O can also provide spiritual benefits, according to the Kamasutra and A Taste of Honey.
2. Only 15% of Irish Women Orgasm During Sex
A survey by Durex in Ireland revealed that 15% of women climax every time they have sex.
A US study of 52,000 adults found that 95% of heterosexual men report usually or always orgasming during sex, compared to just 64% of heterosexual women. The difference is known as the 'orgasm gap.'
3. Nigeria is the Most Sexually Satisfied Country
According to a survey of 26,000 participants across 26 countries, Nigeria is the most sexually satisfied country (67%) in the world, followed by Mexico (63%).
The survey measured sexual satisfaction by the participants' responses. Those who reported to be "very or extremely satisfied with their sexual life," were considered the most satisfied.
Participants in the US (48%), the UK (40%), and France (25%) reported significantly lower sexual satisfaction levels than Nigeria and Mexico.
