In 2015, the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health reported that only 46% of cisgender heterosexual women said that they always or nearly always had an orgasm when having intercourse, with only 6% of women reporting always having an orgasm.

Since then, the needle has moved a bit on education around the female orgasm, but not enough judging by the above statistics.
