Rebel Wilson has opened up about how old she was experiencing her 'first orgasm', after admitting she hadn't valued her own 'pleasure' before.
It's well known that the female orgasm is often a little harder to achieve than a male's.
In fact, around 10-15 percent of women have admitted to never experiencing an orgasm, and about 75 percent cannot orgasm from intercourse alone.

Of course, it goes without saying that everybody is different, and pleasure can be felt in so many different ways.
But it is interesting to hear from a celebrity who has been very open about her sexual encounters.
Wilson previously admitted that she didn't lose her virginity until the age of 35.

Talking to People magazine, she said: "People can wait till they're ready or wait till they're a bit more mature.
"And I think that could be a positive message.
"You obviously don't have to wait until you're in your 30s like me, but you shouldn't feel pressure as a young person."
The 44-year-old actress further opened up in her memoir Rebel Rising.

She claimed that her ability to orgasm had never felt like a 'priority' in her sex life with a partner, which I think is something a lot of women can perhaps relate to.
"I’d never really learned about orgasms," she wrote.
"When I’d had sex over the past few years, I’d never really thought about my pleasure.

"It was more about the guy climaxing, and then pretty quickly sex was over.
"And while I had experienced pleasure, I don’t think at this point I’d truly had an orgasm.
"I might’ve thought I had...."
Wilson added that listening to podcasts and buying sex toys helped her to discover it for the first time.

She added: "I truly experienced an orgasm for the first time at 39 just by myself.
"Is this what I was missing out on?"
She claimed that 2019 was her 'year of love', and made several discoveries.
The star said: "My research for my year of love taught me that there was so much more to sex than just the guy getting off.
"I should have been orgasming too.
"That should have been a priority."
Amen, sister!
Wilson is now engaged to Ramona Agruma, with whom she welcomed her first child, Royce Lillian, into the world via surrogate in November 2022.
