Why do women moan during sex?

Question

Why do women moan during sex? What specifically causes it?

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

They have to make room for the penis inside their body, so it squeezes out some air from their lungs.

When gay men are bottoms, I think they moan as well, so my theory works, but I'm not looking at gay p*rn to verify, you need to check yourself.

TBH, I'd actually guess since I do believe men AND women tend to moan being penetrated while men just being stimulated don't moan much that it may be tied to the fact that moaning helps you relax your muscles, which is useful if you're the one being penetrated in whatever orifice.

Why they moan specifically, instead of say laughing, or talking dirty, or being quiet? I guess it's conditioned for a number of women, for instance women choosing moaning because they heard a girl moaning in p*rn or in a movie with an erotic scene, though I guess it could be instinctive.

The feelings are so intense and the penetration feels so great, that we can't help ourselves.

It's almost like a reflex action.

If a girl is just laying there and isn't moaning, then something is definitely not right!

Either

A) She isn't feeling anything (for whatever the reason may be).

B) You just aren't her cup of tea sexually

for me I don't physically feel the need to moan even though I'm feeling a lot of pleasure, I do moan to let my partner know he's doing a great job though, I think its the expected thing for a woman to do also.

i only really need to moan when I reach orgasm and even then its a few panting small moans not big moans

To express themselves, and let their partner know they are pushing the right buttons.

To answer your question from a scientific vantage point we really don't know. There are many ways and reasons that humans and other primates vocalize during copulation ranging from pain to pleasuring their partner. It's suggested that it's something done often enough to encourage ejaculation in males. There is no conclusive information on why it's done though and specifically why males don't.
