In general fewer people report dreams with orgasm than dreams without orgasm. Orgasmic dreams, in people without "overt experience," were most frequently connected with coitus in the Kinsey female survey - though here only 10 per cent of women reported orgasmic dreams of coitus.

The next most frequent type of dream - reported by seven per cent of women - was homosexual in character. Thirty-nine per cent of women "with experience prior to interview" reported orgasmic dreams of coitus - and the same percentage also noted orgasmic dreams in a non-coital heterosexual situation.
