Abstract

Sexuality is a complex process, a natural biological human need that is present
throughout life. Closely related to sexuality is the sex drive (libido), which is the basis of human sexual
activity. An important aspect of sexuality in both sexes is also the experience of orgasm. Feelings of
shame, guilt, fear, and despair contribute to the development of a disorder in the orgasmic experience.
The aim of this paper is to present the factors that influence the frequency of orgasmic experiences
in women and to determine their sexual satisfaction. We used the online original questionnaire. The
target population were adult women. The survey was conducted from June to July 2021. Data were
analyzed using SPSS 26.0 statistical software. A total of 1409 questionnaires were completed. Most
participants were between 21 and 30 years old and had a high school education, more than half experienced
orgasm most often during masturbation, and most experienced it every time during masturbation.
More than half experienced clitoral orgasm most often. The factors that bother the respondents
most in their sex life were too little foreplay, too little passion, and too short sex. Sexual satisfaction is
experienced by people very individually and depends on many factors, such as the quality, frequency,
and pleasure attributed to sexual activities, but also on general health and well-being.
