Sexual Health & Wellness | The Pleasure Gap: How Do We Close It
Despite living in a more open and sex-positive era, many people still experience unequal access to pleasure. Whether due to stigma, lack of education, or outdated norms, the “pleasure gap” is real—and it’s time to close it.
What Is the Pleasure Gap?
The pleasure gap refers to the consistent difference in sexual satisfaction between partners—often influenced by gender, communication, and cultural conditioning. Studies show that women and LGBTQ+ individuals report lower rates of orgasm and satisfaction compared to cisgender men.
But this isn’t about blame—it’s about awareness and empowerment.
Why It Matters
Pleasure isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, psychological, and deeply tied to self-worth. Closing the gap means:
- Prioritising mutual satisfaction
- Challenging outdated scripts
Embracing tools that enhance connection and confidence
