Abstract
The “orgasm gap” refers to the phenomenon that women orgasm less than men. With great amounts of research and efforts to publicize this concept over the past years, the orgasm gap became smaller but is still an ongoing issue. This project aims to study why the orgasm gap still exists and how it is linked to the way people understand the orgasm gap. About 100 college-aged students are recruited via Qualtrics to participate in a qualitative survey that asks about their knowledge about what the orgasm gap is, where they learned about the orgasm gap, why they think there is an orgasm gap, how they believe the orgasm gap could be narrowed, as well as their sexual experiences. An analysis of these survey responses will be made. This project will add more understanding to why there is still an orgasm gap, which is taking a step forward to give people more satisfying sex lives.
