A study done on “orgasmic latency” or the gap between arousal and climax revealed that women on an average take about 13 minutes 25 seconds to orgasm while having sex.

An even more shocking revelation is that one in six women is unable to orgasm during sex.

According to the study, published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, women were asked to used their stopwatch to measure their "orgasmic latency" which means that they were asked to start the stopwatch when they were aroused and were asked to stop when they climax. The average time measured was 13 minutes 25 seconds.

The study also saw that 90 percent of women wanted to be on top during sex. As per the research, about nine in ten women reported longer-lasting sensations when they were positioned on top.

The study was conducted between October 2017 and last September on a total of 645 straight women from 21 countries, who were married or in long-term relationships.

According to DM, the study included the average age of the women to be 30. The team from India’s Kadave Institute of Medical Sciences said to DM that, "the age of women and how long they had been with their partner did not have a significant effect on how long orgasms took. They defined the moment of becoming aroused as ‘an intense desire for sex in the presence of erotic stimuli, which were provided by the partner, audiovisual methods or both’, and concluded that the average time to reach orgasm was 13 minutes and 25 seconds."

Fake orgasm is another aspect of the story that needs attention. A large number of women have reported that they fake orgasm to make their partners happy. Moreover, many women even prefer masturbation over sexual intercourse.
