7 Different Types of Orgasms Women Can Have | Aldult Toys Blog

We can all agree that orgasms are great (and good for you), but there’s still a bit of a mystery about how the big O actually happens. According to experts, there are actually between 4 and 14 types of orgasms that people with vaginas can experience. Why isn’t there an exact number? Not only is there a lack of research devoted to the sexuality of people with vaginas, but there’s also a long history of scientists valuing orgasms achieved through penetration over other types.

When we talk about the different types of orgasms people can have, we are actually talking about different areas of the body that can be stimulated to achieve orgasm. While there are different ways to achieve orgasm, this does not necessarily mean that they are different types of orgasms. An orgasm is simply a physical reflex that occurs when muscles contract during sexual arousal and then relax through a series of rhythmic contractions.

Not everyone with a vagina experiences sex and orgasm the same way. Some people are capable of multiple orgasms, while others have none at all. It’s important to remember that orgasm isn’t the end goal of sex—it’s the (oh-so-pleasurable) journey, not the destination. Knowing all the parts of your body that can lead you to orgasm is another way to explore what gives you pleasure, with or without a partner.

1. Clitoral orgasm

Clitoral orgasms are the most commonly reported type of orgasm. The clitoris is the pleasure center of the vagina, with over 8,000 ultra-sensitive nerve endings at its tip alone. Some experts argue that it is actually incorrect to distinguish clitoral orgasms from any other type of vaginal orgasm, because the vagina and clitoris are not separate anatomical structures. The clitoris is shaped like a bone, and rests against the upper wall of the vagina, around the urethra, and along the labia. Because of its location, stimulation and pressure on any of these adjacent areas necessarily apply pressure, friction, vibration, etc. to the clitoris. This means that the clitoris is actually the primary source of any vaginal orgasm, whether it is stimulated externally, internally, or both. However, when we talk about clitoral orgasm, we usually mean an orgasm achieved by direct stimulation of the external tip.

Clitoral orgasms are characterized by a rapid contraction and release of the uterine and vaginal muscles, and can last anywhere from 10 to 30 seconds. Many people experience increased sensitivity throughout the body and “aftershocks” immediately following a clitoral orgasm.

Although clitoral orgasms are perhaps the most accessible, different people prefer different types of contact in this area. Feel free to experiment. It’s best to start slowly, as the clitoris is mostly made of erectile tissue, which means it takes a little while to become fully aroused. This also means that the clitoris responds best to a mix of direct and indirect stimulation: the more aroused you are, the more sensitive and erect your clitoris becomes.vibrators.

2. G-spot orgasm

G-spot orgasm is also commonly referred to as vaginal orgasm. The G-spot is an area of ​​textured erectile tissue and nerves on the front wall of the vagina, halfway between the vaginal opening and the cervix. G-spot orgasm takes some time to reach, but it typically lasts longer and is more intense than a clitoral orgasm. Some people find G-spot stimulation overwhelming or uncomfortable, so don’t worry if it’s not for you.

The G-spot is unique to each person in terms of location, size, and ability to be aroused, so be patient. Spending some time on foreplay beforehand will make it easier to locate your G-spot, as it is mostly made up of erectile tissue, which will become engorged (i.e. easier to find) as you become more aroused. To find your G-spot, insert your fingers about 2 inches into your vagina and angle them toward the front of your body. Gently explore this area until you feel a difference in texture on the surface of the vaginal wall. Once you find your G-spot, take your time learning what type of pressure and stimulation works best for you. Many people prefer a “come hither” motion with fingers or a dildo. If you are having penetrative sex with a penis or dildoRear entry positions are the best way to reach your G-spot.

G-spot stimulation can lead to ejaculation because it stimulates the Skene’s glands on either side of the urethra. This also means that G-spot stimulation can make you want to urinate, so you may need to go to the bathroom first.

3. Mixed orgasm

Blended orgasm is known to be the most intense of orgasms. It occurs when multiple erogenous zones are stimulated at the same time (often with dual stimulation sex toys). The most common combination for achieving a blended orgasm is clitoral and G-spot stimulation, but any combination of orgasmic body parts is fair game.

4. Anal orgasm

Anal orgasms are much more common in people with penises because they have a prostrateBut there are plenty of ways for people with vaginas to achieve orgasm through anal play, too. Most of the nerve endings near the anus are concentrated in the skin around the opening, known as the perianal region. These nerve endings make the anus and perineum (the area between the anus and vulva) extremely sensitive. This sensitivity is why anal orgasms can be incredibly pleasurable, but it also makes the skin in this area very delicate and susceptible to irritation or injury. Anal sex has a reputation for being painful, but it doesn’t have to be (and shouldn’t be) if you prepare properly.

The best way to prepare for anal play is to relax your muscles, go slowly, and use plenty of lubricant. You can start to relax by breathing deeply, stretching, and massaging the area. Take the time to gently stimulate the outside of the anus before trying penetration. Some people can achieve orgasm simply by rubbing the outside of the anal opening, while others need internal stimulation. You can try a small anal-friendly vibrator or anal plug before inserting a finger, penis or bigger anal toy. And don’t forget the lube! The anus doesn’t naturally produce lubricant and the skin around it is very prone to tearing, which can lead to unwanted infections. When it comes to lube during anal sex, the more, the better.

5. Nipple orgasm

While it’s not as common, some people are able to achieve orgasm through nipple stimulation alone. Breasts and nipples are major erogenous zones, with tons of nerves and extremely sensitive skin. Nipples respond to temperature, pressure, and moisture, so there are many ways to stimulate them. You can experiment with caressing, licking, sucking, kissing, and even toys like nipple clamps or vibrators. Start slowly and gently to determine which techniques work best for you.

6. A-spot orgasm

There are deeper erogenous zones in the vaginal canal, centered around the cervix. All of these areas take patience to locate and properly stimulate. They also may not be pleasurable for everyone, so don’t force it if it’s not for you. One such area is the A-spot, or anterior fornix erogenous zone, located on the upper (or anterior) front wall of the vagina, on the belly side of the cervix. The cervix blocks this area from stimulation, making it particularly sensitive, as penetration or even just touching the cervix can be uncomfortable for many people with vaginas. Unless you’re looking for this area directly or inserting something large enough to touch every part of the vaginal canal, it’s easy to miss.

It’s best to explore the A-spot when you’re already quite aroused so that your muscles are very relaxed. You can find the A-spot with your fingers by inserting one or two fingers all the way into the vagina. When you feel a hard spot at the back where you can’t go any further, you’ve reached the cervix. Move your fingers over the area with varying degrees of firmness until you find the one that feels best. The A-spot is stimulated by pressure, not touch or friction like the external clitoris or G-spot. Longer toys with curved ends, as well as positions that shorten the vagina (legs close to the abdomen or chest) can help you find the A-spot more easily. You can also stimulate the A-spot from the inside through anal penetration. Some people find the A-spot extremely sensitive and enjoy being touched, but others don’t, so don’t worry if you don’t like it.

7. Cervical orgasm

Another deep vaginal orgasm is the cervical orgasm. Also known as the C-spot or posterior fornix erogenous zone, the cervix can be reached by stimulating the posterior wall of the vagina. As mentioned above, some people find touching or penetrating the cervix uncomfortable, so don’t push it if it doesn’t feel good. However, if you enjoy cervical stimulation, it can produce strong and intense orgasms.

Much like the A-spot, the cervix responds better to pressure than to repeated stimulation. Much like the A-spot, locating the cervix requires patience and deep penetration, so it’s best to try cervical stimulation when you’re very aroused. Hard thrusts can hurt, so take it slow until you find what feels best for you. You can also reserve deep penetration until you’re closer to orgasm, then push down to reach your cervix.
