Baby Boomer men think their partners are having orgasms

The latest survey conducted by Adulttoymegastore has shown that male Baby Boomers sexual confidence may be more anti-climactic than they think.

Gen Y are more likely than any other generation to both climax during sex with 59% of people reporting that they and their partner both climax during sex most of the time or more often.

Baby boomer men are much more likely to think they climax most of the time or more often with their partner (51%) while only 32% of female baby boomers believe this to be true.

Generation Y has the highest percentage of people with partners that care about their sexual pleasure with 78% thinking it’s important to them. Baby boomers are least likely of all generations to have lovers that care about their sexual pleasure, with 62% thinking their partner thinks it’s important.

Adulttoymegastore Head of Customer Satisfaction Emma Hewitt says communication is the key to having a healthy sex life.

You need to know that your partner is climaxing. And if they’re not – you need to be working out what you need to do together to address that. Penetration alone is not enough generally to deliver an orgasm for women. If you’ve reached your 60s and you’re still not sure if your partner is climaxing – it’s time to look at why that is. Sex isn’t a one-way street. You can’t just ignore your partner’s needs – no matter what your age.”

Yet, despite a health percentage of women saying they have climaxed with their partner at some point, only 16% of women orgasm during sex compared to 83% of men.

The survey found 83% of Kiwi males and 80% of Aussie males orgasm most of the time or every time they have sex, only 50% of Kiwi women and 49% of Australian women orgasm most of the time or every time they have sex.

Women are less likely to orgasm during sex, with 26% of Kiwi women and 27% of Australian women stating they don’t orgasm very often when they have sex.  Men are much more likely to reach orgasm during sex throughout the generations.

Generation data shows Gen X comes before Z. Gen X men and women are more likely to orgasm during sex than any other generation (72% orgasm most of the time or every time they have sex).

Least likely to orgasm during sex is Silent Generation (only 53% orgasm often during sex), closely followed by Generation Z (only 55% often reach orgasm during sex).
