Researchers have looked into how female orgasm work and concluded that ‘moaning’ isn’t actually a part of it.
Scientists from the University of Ottawa looked at the physiological responses of the female orgasm.
This resulted in them to leave ‘moaning’ off the list of bodily sensations, according to a new study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine.

And according to LadBible, that means woman who ‘moan and groan’ during sex could be “great pretenders”.
According to Daily Mail, boffins asked 637 women of various ages to complete a questionnaire about their orgasm experiences.

The questionnaire included an ‘Orgasm Rating Scale’, which was a list of different responses such as ‘trembling’, ‘quivering’, and ‘pulsating’.
It also had a list of emotional responses, such as ‘loving’, ‘tender’ and ‘passionate’.
The other section of the questionnaire was the ‘Bodily Sensations of Orgasm Scale’, which had a list of adjectives like ‘faster breather’, ‘heart beating stronger’, ‘harder nipples’, ‘overall muscle tension’, and ‘lower limb spasms’.
Participants were also asked to name the top sensation they felt while climaxing.

Researchers found that ‘pleasurable satisfaction’ was the most common sensation, whereas ‘emotional intimacy’ and ‘shooting sensations’ were the least common on the Orgasm Rating Scale.
They concluded that ‘moaning’ be removed from the measure altogether, adding: “All other items appear to relate to involuntarily responses occurring throughout the orgasm experience.”
Data expert and lead researcher of the study, Amy Elizabeth Webb, said that the study’s main aim was to understand better how female orgasms work. She said this is because there is a lot of misinformation swirling around.

“Orgasm, particularly in older women, remains a poorly understood aspect of female sexual response partly because of a lack of validated self-report measures,” explained the expert.
Researchers also hope the data could help women who struggle to climax during sexual intercourse.
“With valid measurement options, it is anticipated that we will learn more about women’s orgasm experiences and ultimately be able to provide more effective clinical services for women who experience difficulties with orgasm or find the experience lacking in satisfaction,” researchers stated.
