We commissioned a survey of female orgasm habits around the world and found that, on average, 76% of women had an orgasm last time they had sex…
…compared to 92% of their partners.
This might be why 57% of women have faked an orgasm at some point in their lives.

The survey was carried out among a representative sample of the female population aged 18 and above in the following countries:
In each country, the survey was conducted among a sample of which the representativeness was guaranteed by using a quota method (age, profession of the interviewee, official matrimonial status) following a stratification by region. The data ensuring the representativeness of the results were drawn from data supplied by:
The European Union Labour Force Survey (EU LFS 2011) for European countries
The Current Population Survey (CPS 2015) for the United States
The Census (Census 2011) for the Canada
Interviews were conducted through a self-administered online questionnaire from 3 to 12 November 2015.
Due to the intimate nature of the topic in question, IFOP chose a self-administered online method that is less intrusive, allowing respondents to talk of themselves without feeling at risk of being judged by an interviewer.
The absence of an interviewer in fact reduces the tendency that individuals might have of wanting to show themselves in a better light and for instance understating certain behaviours that are seen as transgressive or deemed unsuitable by dominating moral views. This method gives those who might not want to talk about sensitive topics in front of an interviewer or in the presence of someone they know (if the interview takes place before a third party) the chance to speak freely.
