The Orgasm Hierarchy: What’s the Best Type of Orgasm? | Sex

Orgasms aren’t always easy to achieve, but luckily there are countless creative paths a woman can take to reach that peak. In other words, depending on who you talk to or what article you read, there are anywhere from 1 to 24 different “types” of orgasms for people with vaginas. You have clitoral orgasms, vaginal orgasms, G-spot orgasms, anal orgasms, blended orgasms, erogenous zone orgasms, coregasmsand many more. So even though people with penises tend to have a Easier to climb this mountain, there is no reason why the genre orgasm gap cannot be solved with a little self-knowledge and strong communication with your partner(s).

But before I go any further, I need to address this idea that’s been floating around (and isn’t new at all) that there’s some sort of hierarchy of orgasms, and that some types of orgasms are somehow inherently superior to others. I’m talking primarily about the idea that vaginal orgasms are the gold standard, and that anyone who experiences them is somehow more in tune with themselves, more sexually mature, or more capable of experiencing pleasure than those who require clitoral stimulation to climax. FYI: only 6% of women Women under 35 always have an orgasm during penile-vaginal intercourse, 40% achieve it almost always, 16% achieve it half the time and 38% achieve it rarely. In total, 14% of women under 35 have never had an orgasm during intercourse with vaginal penetration.

Here’s the thing: place vaginal orgasms above clitoral orgasms (as if it were necessary to create false dichotomies) is not only an injustice to pleasure seekers everywhere – it also happens to be extremely misinformed.

Let’s break down some of the main “types” of orgasms and look at all the different but equally delicious ways to achieve O-city, shall we?

Clitoral

The famous clitoris is a tiny, ultra-sensitive pleasure button that adorns the outside of your vagina, right? Not exactly. Your clitoris is actually a rather large organ, mainly internal organ. A small portion of the clitoris is located on the outside, at the top of the vulva, where your labia meet, and stimulating this external part with a finger, tongue, or vibrator is the path to the pleasure palace (and orgasms) for most women. Interestingly, even orgasms from vaginal penetration can be considered clitoral orgasms (take that, false dichotomies!). Why? Because the vagina and clitoris are intimately and intimately linked, with the internal keel shape of the clitoris surrounding much of the vaginal walls. It’s all connected, baby.

Vaginal

Vaginal orgasms are often misinterpreted as the “best” way for women to achieve orgasm (or, uh, the easiest for penises), but it’s often the most difficult for women. G-spot orgasm is the most well-known type of vaginal orgasm and sometimes leads to female ejaculation A.K.A squirtThe G-spot is an area located on the front wall of the vagina, about 2 inches deep. It can feel incredibly pleasurable when stimulated or squeezed, largely due to its proximity to the clitoris. Simply insert your fingers or a toy into the vagina and use a “come hither” motion toward the belly button to explore the optimal angles to hit your gorgeous G-spot. For those who want to delve deeper into their big O potential, there are also a bunch of other types of vaginal orgasms— like the A-point, the O-point, the P-point, and the U-point, to name a few. In fact, there’s one for almost every letter of the alphabet, so you better get started.’

Blend

A blended orgasm is an orgasm that involves both clitoral stimulation and internal vaginal stimulation, such as when a man massages you internally with his cock while rubbing your clitoris with his thumb. Mmm. There’s also a lot epic sex toys Designed for this kind of magical mix. Again, since vaginal penetration also stimulates the internal part of the clitoris, it’s actually more accurate to think of blended orgasms as a combination of two different types of clitoral stimulation: external and internal, plain and simple. Some people find blended orgasms to be more intense than orgasms that involve only one type of stimulation.

Anal

Anal orgasms occur when the anus and rectum are stimulated. Since everyone has an asshole (I said it), people of all genders can have anal orgasms, which, especially in men, are sometimes called prostate orgasms or P-spot orgasms. In fact, some men insist that prostate-induced orgasms are even more pleasurable than orgasms that can be experienced through penile stimulation alone (men can go deeper, too, you know). In sex bombs with pussies, the proximity of the anus and rectum to the internal clitoris and the hypersensitive, twitchy pelvic floor are credited as the reason why some girls can achieve orgasm through anal stimulation alone. Damn.

Bottom line: We are all different and we all have our potential for pleasure. We’ve only scratched the surface here, because it’s clear that there are countless ways to enjoy and enjoy again. If you know what works for you and don’t see the need to change things up right now, do it. If you’re looking to explore and expand your repertoire, do it. Regardless, avoid comparing yourself to porn stars, movie stars, or even your friends. Whether solo or with a partner, simply choose the path to pleasure that calls to you. This moment, and dive in. The rest will follow. All you have to do is You.
