Description

Emily Dixon and three colleagues published a psychology study in two thousand twenty-four on body awareness and women's sexual response. Interoception means sensing the body's inner state. It had been linked to orgasm in theory, but few studies tested the link directly in healthy women.

In a dataset of three hundred eighteen women, orgasm was reported as more frequent and more satisfying alone than with a partner. Different sides of body awareness mattered differently. Noticing body signals predicted frequency in both settings. Holding attention on the body predicted solo frequency and satisfaction. Trusting the body predicted satisfaction in both settings. The authors argue research should study healthy function, not only problems.
