Approximately 40% of women experience squirting at some point of their life. On average, this occurs 3–5 times. doi.org/10.1080/002244… Begin your private reflection 18+ | app.youform.com/forms/3acqvx63
Do women squirt often?

Approximately four in ten women experience squirting at some point of their life. On average, this occurs 3–5 times. The first squirting typically occurs at age 24. About 60% of women find squirting pleasurable to some extent. However about a fifth reported orgasm and squirting never occurred at the same time.

The chance of experiencing an orgasm is related to the duration of knowing the partner before having vaginal sex and the frequency of the partner's visits to church. link.springer.com/article/10.1... Begin your private reflection 18+ | app.youform.com/forms/3acqvx63
What can influence women’s orgasm frequency?

A study among black heterosexual women showed that the chance of experiencing an orgasm during sex with a partner is directly related to the duration of acquaintance with the partner before the first vaginal sex and the frequency of the partner's visits to church.

A new study suggests that women start to devalue their own orgasms when they happen infrequently. This may be self-protective in the short term, but may ultimately widen the orgasm gap. www.psypost.org/new-psychology-rese…

New psychology research explains why some women devalue their own orgasms
When women consistently experience infrequent orgasms, both they and their partners mentally downgrade the importance of climaxing. While this psychological shift protects short-term self-esteem, new research suggests it might ultimately perpetuate the ongoing orgasm gap.
