Hook-up culture has men enjoying 100% orgasms while women only manage to orgasm 7% of the time

“Research suggests that women may set the bar for satisfactory sex quite low - specifically, the absence of pain and degradation rather than the presence of pleasure and orgasm.”

[Regarding men being more likely to engage in manual clitoral stimulation and oral sex when in a relationship, while fellatio was prevalent among hook-ups and relationships] “According to the authors, these findings suggest the orgasm gap is larger in casual sex because women are less likely to feel entitled to seek their own sexual pleasure and men are less motivated to provide their partners with pleasure…”

I’ve seen research that suggests the majority men only bother to try to please or satisfy female partners if they see them as a long term or potential long term partner. Meanwhile women are expected to always put others needs first before their own under all circumstances, including sexual. This is why most hook-ups end in a man having an orgasm but very rarely with a woman having an orgasm. Hook-ups are tilted in men’s favor for men’s gratification with nothing in return for women which is why I have a hard time understanding how they’re supposedly ‘empowering’ for women.

It seems to me women have more to lose under hook-up culture. Faux ‘sexual liberation’ has given men greater access to women’s bodies and sexualities while doing very little if anything at all in return for women. Until we change the script on heterosexual sex, until we change men’s entitled attitudes towards sex and women conceptualizing themselves as vessels for male pleasure and use, I’m going to count hook-up culture as more of an L for women than a gain.

If you really do want casual sex, I think it’s best to seek out someone you know and trust to actually care about your pleasure and gratification, not to mention safety, rather than a random drunk fuckboy.
