Study Links Female Orgasm Satisfaction to Body Awareness

Research highlights the role of interoception in enhancing orgasm frequency and satisfaction for women during solo and partnered experiences.

Women with higher interoception, the ability to sense and trust internal bodily signals, report more frequent and satisfying orgasms.
The study identified three key factors for sexual satisfaction: noticing bodily sensations, regulating attention, and trusting internal signals.
Participants experienced orgasms approximately 20% more frequently during solo activities compared to partnered encounters.
Findings suggest that focusing on bodily sensations rather than external pressures can improve sexual experiences, particularly in partnered contexts.
This research shifts focus from dysfunction to understanding and enriching healthy orgasmic processes, offering potential benefits for well-being and relationships.
