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.

Abstract

Seksualnost je složen proces, prirodna biološka ljudska potreba koja je prisutna tijekom cijelog života. Usko povezan sa seksualnošću je spolni nagon (libido) koji je temelj ljudske spolne aktivnosti. Važan aspekt seksualnosti kod oba spola je i doživljaj orgazma. Osjećaji srama, krivnje, straha i očaja doprinose razvoju poremećaja u doživljaju orgazma. Cilj ovog rada je prikazati čimbenike koji utječu na učestalost doživljavanja orgazma kod žena te odrediti njihovo seksualno zadovoljstvo. Primijenjen je originalni online upitnik. Ciljana populacija bile su odrasle žene. Istraživanje je provedeno od lipnja do srpnja 2021. Podaci su analizirani pomoću statističkog programa SPSS 26.0. Ispunjeno je ukupno 1409 upitnika. Većina sudionica imala je između 21 i 30 godina, srednjoškolsko obrazovanje, više od polovine doživjelo je orgazam najčešće tijekom samozadovoljavanja, a većina ga je doživjela svaki put tijekom samozadovoljavanja. Više od polovine najčešće je doživjelo klitoralni orgazam. Čimbenici koji najviše smetaju ispitanicama u seksualnom životu su premalo predigre, premalo strasti i prekratak seks. Zaključuje se da seksualno zadovoljstvo ljudi doživljavaju vrlo individualno i ovisi o mnogim čimbenicima, poput kvalitete, učestalosti i užitka koji se pripisuje seksualnim aktivnostima, ali i o općem zdravlju i dobrobiti.
