What Your Orgasm Frequency Says About You (Real Data from the Archives of Sexual Behavior)

In this episode, Dr. Morgentaler and Dr. Brandon talk about real data on orgasm frequency and how to make sense of it in a healthy, guilt-free way. 00:00 – Introduction to Orgasm Frequency Dr. Morgentaler and Dr. Brandon open the episode by breaking down real data on how often people actually have orgasms. 01:25 – Defining Hypersexuality and Sex Addiction They unpack why "hypersexuality" is so debated and explain why orgasm frequency alone isn't a reliable marker of sex addiction. 08:25 – Gender Differences in Orgasm Frequency They compare how often men and women typically orgasm each week and highlight why those averages naturally differ. 13:04 – Age and Sexual Activity: A Statistical Dive They explore how orgasm frequency shifts across age groups and how hormones and health influence those changes. 14:47 – Hypersexuality and Masturbation: Breaking the Stigma They normalize daily masturbation and explain why high frequency doesn't automatically mean someone is "hypersexual." 19:34 – Porn Use and Its Implications They discuss how porn use ties into masturbation habits and why time spent on porn—not frequency alone—is what signals potential concern.
