Is Sexual Gratification More Psychological than Physical?
It seems like whenever we talk about women and sex, that we always also talke about how for women, sexual satisfaction is a lot more mental than physical. This means that no matter how the actual physicality of the sex goes, as long as she is mentally content in the relationship, or feels that the sex is empowering and wanted/needed, she will have a better time in the sack, and consequently also orgasm much more easily.
For women, many have reported this is true and that if they are not feeling particularly lovey dovey toward their partners they experience much less satisfaction when they have intercourse and intimate moments with their mate.
It’s almost like a female’s sexual enhancement depends more on her frame of mind and thought processes than her actual equipment, whereas men seem to be able to orgasm more easily, although admittedly many times impotence and sexual dysfunction are strongly psychologically tied together. So, is it true? Are men really more hardwired to enjoy sex even if they are not that into their partner at the moment, or have a million other things on their mind? Are they really more immune than women are to their conscious thoughts interfering with their sex life?
In fact, studies have concluded that at least with women, sexual gratification is more a matter of their mental state than it is of the necessary hormones and feelings being intact in their sexual organs, whereas for men it seems to be a bit more of the other way around. Again, I’m not discounting at all that men may also be psychologically influenced when it comes to their sexual satisfaction, but women have actually conclusively been shown to have more of a mind over matter attitude when it comes to sex since they are more cognitive creatures when it comes to this particular area of life.
