Dr Nicole Prause, who runs her lab Liberos in the US, has been exploring the science behind sex for more than a decade.
In an exclusive interview with the Daily Star Online, she confessed that you’re more likely to have a better, stronger orgasm by yourself.
While our partners may like to think they know how to show us a good time, this isn’t always the case.
In fact, you’re more likely to feel more satisfied if you ditch them altogether.
A survey found that engaging in self-love can produce better orgasms.
Sexpert Dr Prause revealed: “Surprisingly, people asked to rate the intensity of their orgasms consistently say that their orgasms from self-stimulation feel more intense than their orgasms with a partner.”
As you’re more likely to know how your body works more than anyone else, self-pleasure can be more fulfilling.
When having an intimate session alone, you can decide just how many times you climax and how long you want to spend pleasuring yourself..
If that wasn’t enough to sway you, there are also some health benefits to going solo.
Getting intimate can make you happier, as it releases endorphins dopamine and oxytocin. Masturbation can also aid sleep and regulate your stress levels.
But worry not, men. While results showed that solo play was the best for most women, this isn’t the same for everyone.
Dr Prause added: “Of course, these are averages, so that does not mean it is true for every person.”
Results aren’t surprising given that the average guy blows his load after roughly five minutes in the sack.
Premature ejaculation can be frustrating for both men and women – and a whopping 80% of ladies wish their partners lasted longer in bed.
Thankfully, there are plenty of ways that men can up their prowess in the bedroom.
Earlier this month, we revealed how spritzing a “delay spray” onto your penis can improve your staying power by 64%.
