According to statistics only 30% of women can orgasm from vaginal sex. How can this be true?

...then why is there a huge market for dildos and vibrators? Wouldn't it make more sense to buy clit stimulating toys if this was correct? I just find it hard to believe that these results are actually true. Simply because that the point of mastrubation is to make yourself orgasm, then why do you bother with a vibrator if you can't get off through vaginal intercourse?

  • I do believe the statistics, and most women I've known struggled to orgasm from vaginal sex.

    I can finish from vaginal sex, but rarely.

    As for why a woman would want a vibrator/dildo:

    1) A vibrator can be pulled out to stimulate the clit - it's not just about putting it in/out of the vagina. Vibration feels good on the clit too (though personally, I'm not the biggest fan of vibration over my finger there - the orgasm is more dull to me).

    2) A vibrator, well, literally vibrates in a way a man's penis cannot - so even though the vagina is less sensitive, it still has SOME sensitivity (just more/less for some women). Rapid vibrations can stimulate an orgasm despite the lower sensation.

    3) Probably one of the biggest reasons: Even if you can't finish from vaginal stimulation alone, it still does feel good for most women to have something in the vagina (kinda like it feels good for some guys to have their balls rubbed, but isn't enough). Though you orgasm from the clit, the vaginal sensation adds an extra 'layer' of stimulation that can be very satisfying. Typically when I masturbate with a vibrator/dildo, I leave it in while I masturbate my clit as it gives me more depth to the orgasm.

    4) The vibrator makes the fantasy of sex that you might be thinking about while masturbating feel more realistic. So if you're imagining having sex, you can indulge that fantasy further by simulating what it really feels like. Thing is, even though I can give myself very intense orgasms via masturbation, no orgasm beats an orgasm (however had) given by a real live, guy. There's just something innate about the satisfaction feeling more complete if you orgasm with a guy (otherwise nobody would bother having sex with one another since men and women would then be completely self-satisfying). So, when masturbating, the closer you can get to making yourself feel like you're really with a real guy, the more satisfying it feels.

    • I think you're right though, I must be one of the lucky ones then, because I can come without having my clit stimulated.

    • Can you do that every time you have sex or just sometimes? How long does it take you to finish that way?

    • Almost every time, but it takes 15 min at least, in different positions. For .e.g I can't orgasm in missionary at all - but I can in the armchair position, etc.

  • Well I don't know what the statistics are exactly but I get the impression that it's not that the majority of women need JUST clitoral stimulation. I think some girls just need clitoral stimulation but the rest need just vaginal or vaginal and clitoral. So I think the majority need some kind of vaginal stimulation. I think the statistics are pointing out that women usually need both parts stimulated.

    And I can't say it's a fact that all girls do but the girls I know who need some kind of clitoral stimulation buy vibrators that also have a clitoral stimulator on them.

  • First of all a vibrator inserted in the vagina can be positioned by us to be directly over or g spot and also can be pulled back to work on the clit also. A dildo just gives that good feeling of having the vagina full and pulling it back and forth gives some stimulation and can and usually is used in conjunction with clit stimulation in some mannor.

    • But considering the statistics, wouldn't be easier for someone who really can't orgasm from intercourse to just stimulate their clit? by the way if we're making an assumption that they can't get off through intercourse, we're assuming that they don't find g-spot stimulation enough, hence not being able to come from vaginal sex. Why all the extra hassle of a dildo then?

    • Not true at all! Many girls who tell of not getting off through intercourse also say there g spot is not stimulated at this time. this is only because she is not communicating with the person with the penis and getting in a position to get it stimulated. She do that she is going to have a vaginal orgasm. Might still requre a bit of help with the clit, but it does work. I don't consider a big fat dildo stretching my vaginal walls a hassle when it feels so good.

    • Well this is the exact reason why I'm asking the question...because I believe these statistics are bullsh*t. But vaginal intercourse=g-spot stimulation simply because it is inside the vagina, so you would consider it part of vaginal intercourse. But the statistics state that 70% of women cannot get off through vaginal sex. This is why I think that this would mean that 70% either doesn't know where the g-spot is/don't know it exists/don't find the stimulation pleasurable at all.

  • That's like saying "only 30% of people like dark chocolate, so why does anyone buy anything other than milk chocolate?". A lot of toys are used in conjunction (a girl I know has a very nice collection of both dildos and pocket rockets), some girls can orgasm with a dildo but not their partner because you can be a lot more precise and hit exactly the spots you want to with a dildo. A lot of girls love the feeling of balls slapping against their ass. Plus, one of the most popular types of dildos are the ones that have clit stimulating vibrating eggs attached!

    • I am questioning the validity of these widely accepted statistics. by the way, if the dildo can hit the right spots, so could the man! so it's more about the lack of communication.

    • No it's about the fact that my penis is attached to my body whereas a dildo is not. With a dildo you can do any angle and any speed and any direction and any motion you want. With my penis, it's a lot more limited.

    • A penis is pretty flexible, and tbh I don't think anybody who uses them bends them in half inside their p**** while moving them in a 360 degrees circular motion or anything like that, so basically anything a penis couldn't do. So you're saying you couldn't move at a speed that someone simulates with their hand? or you couldn't thrust in different directions? I think it's just an excuse for not communicating. It's bs.

  • Vibrators are made specifically for clitoral stimulation. Most women use them by pressing them on or near their clitorises. Dildos are often a form of secondary stimulation in addition to clitoral stimulation. Many girls like the feeling of being "full" and it makes their orgasm that much better. Most though cannot come from just using a dildo (or a penis).

    • Again, this is not answering the question.

  • it still feels really great to be penatrated even tho you can't finish with just that the orgasm is much more intense if you are being penatrated while orasaming from clitoral stimulation.

  • Every woman is capable, but not every woman knows how to stimulate the vagina effectively.

    Also, there are some women who are ashamed to tell the truth in the surveys, so the statistics are a little bit flawed.

    It might be up to 40%, even 50%.

  • I need to clit stimulation at the end to orgasm mixed with penetration. However, I love the feeling of penetration. Just because I can't come with a dildo alone doesn't mean I don't want it. I love it! I can't come on clit stimulation alone.. I need both!

  • 1. 30% of women is still a LOT of people. Only a percentage of women use toys anyway.

    2. It might be easier for women to hit the right spots using a dildo, since they know what they want better than men do and also a dildo doesn't have a whole person attached to it, so it's probably much easier to position any which way or go at different speeds etc.

    3. Vibrators can stimulate the clitoris.

    • Also, just because someone can't orgasm from vaginal sex doesn't mean it doesn't feel good to them.

    • Yeah, but doesn't the whole idea come from the fact the vagina is not sensitive enough alone to produce an orgasm? That's why the statistics stink, but you see it written in almost every single article written about female orgasms i.e. 'don't worry if you can't get off through coitus, because only 30% of women do' and 30% is still a small minority.

    • I don't see what you're looking for here. I agree with most of these answers and you have an issue with them and I don't understand what it is. Every woman is unique- every woman needs something slightly different in order to achieve orgasm. "The fact the vagina is not sensitive enough alone to produce an orgasm" is NOT a fact. Some women CAN reach orgasm from their vagina alone. I know because I am one of them.

  • when deep inside its a sence of relif lol lol that's like asking so why don't men just have a pull why bother with woman hahahha bloody helll

  • Thats because its vaginal sex with a man not with a toy where you can move it the way that you need to to have an orgasm vaginally.

    • But the point you're missing is that the vagina is simply not as sensitive in most women as the clitoris. So regardless whether it's a real **** or a dildo, they just can't get off from vaginal stimulation alone.

  • Isn't that what fingers, lips and tongues were made for? Get the girl off with your fingers etc.. and then proceed to f*ck without having to worry about giving her an orgasm with your c*ck. You both get satisfied.

    • This has nothing to do with the question.

    • You must be boring in bed dude

  • This question reminds me of the movie "Oh In Ohio".

  • 30% of men are good at sex

    • That's a funny answer.

  • i hope I find a girl that can get off from penetration, so I can feel her tighten up on me over and over

  • It's very true... unfortunately. I am not a genius when it comes to sex, but through my expereince.. it is easier to make her orgasm with your fingers. and vaginally.. you need to build up the experience... just don't go into it.. I had a few experiences where the woman orgasmed through penetration, but it's not that easy.

  • first of all avoid reading those statistics please, they are all just propagandas!

    no man in the world can satisfy the woman with his erected stick!

    the gorgeous girls can be only satisfied/ feel orgasm only when they are treated,touched,caresesed, what ever the thing should be done with pure love, if she has such sort of love on him then definitely, no need with that 6inch stick, so don't care for rumours and enjoy the life, all the best!

  • the penetration is secondary its the vibrations that get you off for the 70 percent of women.

  • because the vibrator hits the g spot, and it does it in a way that a penis can't. plus the vibrations almost act as a way of stimulating the clit at the same time. women know how and where to put the vibrator. guys are basically going into it blind and can't figure out the g-spot.

  • Given a good size d*** and good amount of stamina and hitting the rights spot(s) with the right rhythm just about any woman can have an orgasm without any or minimal clit stimulation. The problem for a lot of women is that they've had the wrong partners. That is why so many women who marry young and end up getting divorced or cheat end up being awakened in the vagina.

  • I asked my girlfriend this question and she doesn't know either. She only orgasms from clit stimulation. But she loves the feel inside.

    She said she has vaginal orgasms with me and they're different. But not all the time. I don't know.

  • I have never had an orgasm from strictly vaginal stimulation, but I still love the sensation! Though I need clit stimulation to come, the friction of being f***ed make the orgasm way better and is what actually makes me wet.

    I'm not in that 30% - but I still love the **** and I would surely miss it!

  • You use it on the clitirous not the vag

  • 30%...I would actually expect that percentage to be lower, and I've heard sexologists report the percentage as low as 0%. As intensely pleasurable as vaginal intercourse or penetration with a dildo may be, orgasms can only occur in the clitoris...that is a scientific fact.

    And uh, vibrators *are* clit stimulating toys, do your research...or just buy one and have fun :)

  • Not all vibrators you put in you, and a lot of vibrators have the clitoral stimulator (check out the rabbit). Just because you can't orgasm from having something inside only, when you have something inside AND you are getting your clitoris stimulated, the orgasm is a lot stronger (for me anyway).
