P.Z. Myers picks apart Zietsch and Santtila's study, which he says "fails pretty badly." The most conveyable portion:
All of 1.9% of the male subjects reported never achieving orgasm through intercourse; 12% of the female subjects reported "rarely or never" having an orgasm in the last 4 weeks. This is actually a surprisingly good number; worldwide frequency of anorgasmia in women is typically around 20%, but the sample the authors are taking their data from is fairly homogeneous, consisting of Finns between 18 and 49. Again, though, the results highlight the cultural variability: the female response seems to be much more sensitive to environmental conditions, while the male response is strongly canalized. You can't assess orgasm in women without taking a whole battery of social issues into account, while men are easy. The orgasmic response in men is locked in as a response to testosterone levels, which are reliably high in most men, while the same response in women relies on other, probably diverse, developmental cues to be switched on.
Greg Laden and Scicurious also scrutinize the study.
