Women have long been described by the media or literature as someone who likes to sigh during sex. For example in films, novels, even pornography. So the sigh of women is closely associated with sexual satisfaction. However, is it true that women actually sigh more often in bed than men? What does the woman's sigh mean? Here comes the answer from the experts.
Who sighs more during sex?
According to a survey in the UK, 94 percent of the thousands of women who participated in the survey admitted to sighing more frequently and harder than their male partners during sex. As many as 70 percent of men who took the survey also stated that their female partners sighed during sex.
Another study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior shows similar results, namely that women are more likely to sigh during sexual intercourse than men. However, that does not mean that men do not produce any sound when making love. Some men also make growling noises when aroused.
Why do women often sigh in bed?
The sound of sighing during sex is not only produced by humans. Reporting from Psychology Today, sighs or screams during sex can also be found in various types of primates other than humans, such as monkeys and baboons. Experts believe that this phenomenon occurs because in prehistoric humans and other primates, a sigh or scream could be an "invitation" or a call to have sex.
In apes, for example, the female will produce certain sounds during sex as a form of statement that she is entering the mating season. That way, male apes know that the female ape is ready to reproduce and wants to have sex with her. The more male monkeys that hear the female's voice, the more the monkey will have sex with her. That way, the chances of getting pregnant are even greater.
Likewise with prehistoric humans. Instinctively, sex at that time emphasized reproductive function. That is why in prehistoric times there was no system of marriage with only one person throughout his life. The more men she has sex with, the more likely she is to have children.
Understand the meaning of a woman's sigh
In modern times, of course a woman's sigh has a different meaning. Sighing is no longer a sign that a woman is ready to reproduce. According to research, 66 percent of women admit to sighing so that their partners become more aroused and eventually reach orgasm. Even some 87 percent admit to sighing just to please their partner.
This is because men often attribute a woman's sigh as evidence that she succeeded in satisfying her partner. He will also feel more confident as if he is very good in bed. In fact, these sighs may only be voiced by women to increase the sensation.
However, many women also sigh to express pleasure or release their breath. However, that does not mean that the woman is having an orgasm. According to a sexual health expert from Indiana University, Kristen Mark, the meaning of women's sigh still needs to be studied further because currently the research is still limited.
