Understanding the 2025 'State of the O' Report from ONE® Condoms

To celebrate National Orgasm Day on July 31, ONE® Condoms has unveiled its 2025 'State of the O' report, based on a comprehensive survey conducted by independent research firm OnePoll. The study surveyed 1,001 adults across the United States and delved into the dynamics of sexual pleasure, communication, and the efficacy of condoms in enhancing climax experiences.

Key Findings on Orgasm Satisfaction
The survey reveals progressive trends in orgasm satisfaction among participants. A noteworthy 68% of respondents reported they reach orgasm as often as they would like, while an impressive 84% typically leave the bedroom feeling completely satisfied. This surge in satisfaction suggests a growing trend in sexual health and awareness.

Furthermore, the quality of orgasms is on the rise, with 60% of participants stating they have experienced more intense orgasms over the past year. This can be attributed to better communication with partners, choices centered around mutual pleasure, and focusing on emotional connections. Interestingly, 82% of individuals noted that they experience more gratifying orgasms with familiar partners compared to new encounters, emphasizing the significance of emotional closeness and ongoing intimacy.

Despite these positive results, the report does reveal an ongoing disparity known as the 'orgasm gap.' The data shows that while 75% of men report achieving orgasm whenever desired, only 63% of women can say the same. This gap extends beyond just frequency, as men reported post-orgasm satisfaction at 87%, in contrast to 81% satisfaction among women. Additionally, a significant 48% of women admitted to sometimes faking orgasms, a practice less common among men, where 35% confessed to the same.

Communication: The Key to Pleasure
On National Orgasm Day, ONE® Condoms aims to reshape the dialogue around sexual pleasure, shifting from a mindset of individual needs to a focus on mutual satisfaction. Milla Impola, the Condom and Lube Expert at ONE®, emphasizes that while orgasms are important, they are not the sole indicator of a fulfilling sexual experience. The foundations of great sex lie in connection, intimacy, and a sense of security to explore desires together.

The report also highlights the role of communication in enhancing sexual experiences. A striking 72% of participants indicated they can articulate their pleasure needs, with 80% believing their partners feel equally at ease sharing their desires. However, the gender breakdown shows disparities, with 82% of men believing that their partners are comfortable expressing needs, while only 65% of women reported feeling the same. This discrepancy indicates an opportunity for couples to engage in more intentional dialogues, thereby improving both pleasure and intimacy.

The Importance of Foreplay and Condoms
Foreplay emerges as an essential component for climax, with over 73% of respondents deeming it crucial to achieve orgasm. Interestingly, 76% make it a priority during sexual encounters. Both genders affirm the significance of foreplay, with 72% of men and 73% of women agreeing on its necessity for reaching orgasm.

Condoms, while often portrayed in a less favorable light, also proved to influence orgasm experiences positively. Although 57% of survey participants believe condoms make it harder to achieve orgasm, the right fit and style can shift these perceptions entirely. An impressive 62% noted that a well-fitting condom enhances their chances of reaching climax. Moreover, 63% expressed feeling reduced anxiety regarding STI risks when using condoms, allowing for more relaxed, pleasurable encounters.

Among preferences for condom features, textured options such as ribbed and dotted styles are favored by 49% of respondents, enhancing pleasurable sensations. Additionally, the use of lubricants in conjunction with condoms significantly boosts the likelihood of orgasm, with 63% of men and 53% of women finding an increase in satisfaction when personal lubricants are used during intercourse.

One key takeaway is that 49% of people have experimented with various condom brands and styles to enhance their orgasmic experiences. Impola explained that much like finding the ideal clothing fit, individuals must explore different options to discover what feels best for them.

ONE®'s Commitment to Combined Pleasure and Protection
At ONE®, the belief that pleasure and protection should coexist is paramount.
