AdamEve.com Surveys Solo vs. Orgasms With Partner

HILLSBOROUGH, N.C.—Adam & Eve and adameve.com are never shy when it coming to sharing results from their all-new annual sex survey. This month, the sex-positive company asked over 1000 adults how solo orgasms compare to those with a partner, and the results may surprise you. While a whopping 65% of the respondents (72% of the males and 57% of the females) said an orgasm was better with a partner, 27% (25% of the males and 29% of the females) said they prefer to climax alone. An additional 9% (7% of the men and 12% of the women) said it was the same either way. “All orgasms are not created equal,” says Dr. Jenni Skyler, PhD, LMFT, C-PST, and resident sexologist at Adam & Eve. “For women, especially, an orgasm with a partner can take time, patience and a lot of trial and error. It can take a while for couples to get into sync where orgasms are concerned. It also helps to know what works for you via your solo experiences and self-discovery, and to communicate that with a partner.” Dr. Jennis continues, “Orgasms alone can be amazing… a celebration of one’s self and true self care, while the intimacy and connection through partnered sex can add depth and new sensations as well.” “Adam & Eve encourages adults to celebrate their sexuality within their own comfort levels. We are happy to provide a variety of toys, lubricants and warming lotions to enhance both partnered and solo sessions,” says Chad Davis, director of marketing for Adam & Eve. The web-based survey, conducted by an independent third-party survey company, of over 1,000 American adults age 18 and up, was sponsored by Adam & Eve to study sexual preferences and practices.
