30% of women orgasm through vaginal penetration.

Although the following statistic is located on our webpage, women are still surprised to learn that only 30% of women will orgasm through vaginal penetration. That means almost 70% of women do not orgasm through intercourse. At times, women and their partners may feel like they are doing something wrong, or that something is wrong with them. Orgasms can be attained through a number of sexual behaviors. Many women often need some form of clitoral stimulation in order to achieve orgasm but unfortunately, intercourse does not always provide direct stimulation to the clitoris. Some women will need to stimulate their own clitoris, or have a partner stimulate it for them, or use a vibrator during intercourse. So, there isn’t anything wrong, you may just need more focus on your clitoris. Finding a smaller vibrator that can be used with a partner may be useful in trying to stimulate the clitoris during intercourse.
