Do women really need longer to reach an orgasm?

The belief that women need much more time to reach an orgasm than men has been around for ages. But is it true as well?

No, women don’t necessarily need a lot longer than men to reach an orgasm. US researchers conducted a study in which they included one thousand couples from all around the United States of America. During this particular study, the researchers observed men and women masturbating separately. They concluded that men on average reach an orgasm only a few seconds faster than women.
