But it might not be all in their heads, according to Kim Wallen, professor of behavioral neuroendocrinology at Emory University.
He wants to determine if a woman's ability to have an orgasm with penile stimulation alone depends on how far her clitoris lies from her vagina -- the so-called "C-V distance."
Wallen said understanding more about a woman's anatomy might enhance her sex life.
"I suspect that for a large proportion of women, orgasm from intercourse alone is just never going to happen and knowing that might give women some solace."
Princess Marie Bonaparte, a French psychoanalyst, discovered that the optimal C-V distance is 2.5 centimeters, about an inch, or the space between the fingertip and the thumb.
"Just as there are physical attributes that would prevent some people from ever becoming a concert violinist, or run the 100 meters in 10 seconds, there are attributes that make it unlikely that some women will ever experience orgasm from intercourse alone," he said,
In analysis of the Bonaparte data, the researchers first had to reframe the question. Instead of asking, "Do you have orgasm during intercourse?" they created a "more explicit survey" asking if manual or oral stimulation had been involved.
Some sex trivia back at you ;)
