Sexuality and Culture. The authors say there are relatively scant studies about what maximizes pleasure during sex, or what gives sexual encounters a turbo boost for those involved.
However, knowing such things is of importance to sex therapists and counselors.They interviewed 78 individuals about their sex lives and specifically asked them to quantify the difference between “good” sex and “great” sex.
Around two-thirds were women and a third were men. Around a third identified as “non-heterosexual”.Here’s a closer look at the three most common responses.Forty-nine of those interviewed said orgasm was essential for sex to be regarded as “great”.
Some said their own orgasm was essential, while others said it was equally, or more important, that their partner achieved orgasm.Some women said that if their partners didn’t make them cum, it couldn’t be regarded as “great” sex.
