BACKGROUND: The pursuit of sexual pleasure is a key motivating factor in sexual
activity. Many things can stand in the way of sexual orgasms and enjoyment,
particularly among women. These are essential issues of sexual well-being and
gender equality. OBJECTIVE: This study presents long-term trends and determinants
of female orgasms in Finland. The aim is to analyze the roles of factors such as
the personal importance of orgasms, sexual desire, masturbation, clitoral and
vaginal stimulation, sexual self-esteem, communication with partner, and
partner's sexual techniques. DESIGN: In Finland, five national sex surveys that
are based on random samples from the central population register have been
conducted. They are representative of the total population within the age range
of 18-54 years in 1971 (N=2,152), 18-74 years in 1992 (N=2,250), 18-81 years in
1999 (N=1,496), 18-74 years in 2007 (N=2,590), and 18-79 years in 2015 (N=2,150).
Another dataset of 2,049 women in the age group of 18-70 years was collected in
2015 via a national Internet panel. RESULTS: Contrary to expectations, women did
not have orgasms that are more frequent by increasing their experience and
practice of masturbation, or by experimenting with different partners in their
lifetime. The keys to their more frequent orgasms lay in mental and relationship
factors. These factors and capacities included orgasm importance, sexual desire,
sexual self-esteem, and openness of sexual communication with partners. Women
valued their partner's orgasm more than their own. In addition, positive
determinants were the ability to concentrate, mutual sexual initiations, and
partner's good sexual techniques. A relationship that felt good and worked well
emotionally, and where sex was approached openly and appreciatively, promoted
orgasms. CONCLUSION: The findings indicate that women differ greatly from one
another in terms of their tendency and capacity to experience orgasms. The
improvements in gender equality and sexual education since the 1970s have not
helped women to become more orgasmic. Neither has the major increase in
masturbation habits (among women in general). One challenge for future studies is
to understand why women value their partner's orgasms more than their own.
