Ever wonder which gender experiences the best, most powerful, and longest-lasting orgasms?

It turns out a group of curious researchers set out to answer this one particular question.

In a video uploaded to YouTube by AsapSCIENCE, it is revealed that straight women have longer-lasting but less frequent orgasms than straight men do.

As for straight men, their orgasms are typically shorter but more frequent than straight women's.

Here's the video.

Now, I know what you're thinking: anyone could have told you that.

That's precisely why I was more impressed by the results on lesbians and their orgasms.

In a recent study conducted by a group of doctors exploring the sexual habits of men and women of different sexual orientations, it was found that lesbian women experience nearly 12 percent more orgasms than straight women.

Keep in mind, straight women are known to produce longer orgasms, but experience them less frequently than straight men.

ScienceAlert reveals,

The study found that, on average, the lesbians experienced around 12 percent more orgasms than straight women, with 25 percent saying they climaxed during every sexual encounter, and almost half saying they experienced an orgasm more than 75 percent of the time.

The study also concluded that lesbians experience sexual intercourse for longer periods of time than men and women of other sexual orientations.

And here's the kicker for all those non-lesbians out there: not only did they experience a higher frequency of orgasms when compared to their straight counterparts, they also had longer sexual encounters, with an average of 30 to 45 minutes vs. 15 to 35 minutes.

This means lesbians are having sex for longer periods of time and having more orgasms as a result. It's OK, straight men and straight women -- it's all in the timing (so work on that).

When it comes to having the best orgasms, it looks like lesbians win that game!
