What is female orgasm?
Before we begin, let's agree on what an orgasm actually is. “An orgasm is a physical reflex that happens when muscles tighten during sexual arousal and then relax through a series of rhythmic contractions,” says gynecologist Dr. Sherry Ross, MD. “Every orgasmic climax can feel different in intensity and duration, depending on how and which part of the body is aroused,” she adds. As well as providing physical release, it also offers emotional release, helping you feel closer to your partner or simply relax after a hard day.
Some types of orgasm focus only on the vagina; others let you feel the intensity of an earthquake in places you never imagined could be erogenous zones.
You owe it to yourself! Discover all the kinds of pleasure your body can experience!
The 11 types of female orgasm
1) Clitoral orgasm
The clitoris is most women's go-to spot when they want pleasure and a satisfying orgasm. Clitoral orgasms are the most common and accessible, and can be reached easily in almost any everyday setting or situation. That little "button" of bliss needs to be touched with very different levels of pressure and speed... every woman reaches climax differently.
"The clitoris is a very sensitive part of a woman's anatomy, made up of millions of nerve endings similar to those in the penis," says Dr. Ross.
Touching, stroking or stimulating it directly or indirectly—in other words, through fabric or by touching the labia surrounding the clitoris—increases blood flow to the area, making the clitoris swell and seek a release of pleasure.
A study in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy found that different kinds of clitoral stimulation—up and down, back and forth, and broad or small circles—can lead to orgasm. Experiment on your own and show your partner what you enjoy. If clitoral orgasms do not come easily or you have trouble reaching orgasm, consider sex toys designed specifically for clitoral pleasure, such as a mini vibrator that you or your partner can wear on a fingertip... there are so many!
2) G-spot orgasm
The G-spot is on the front wall of the vagina, about halfway between the vaginal opening and the cervix. It is not something you can see, but you can usually feel it by inserting a finger into the vagina and pressing forwards. You should detect a slightly spongy or ridged area, says Dr Ross.
Press gently on this spot and stroke it lightly... many women do this to prepare for a G-spot orgasm, also known as a vaginal orgasm. "When you're sexually aroused, the G-spot fills with blood and swells," says Dr. Ross. Touching it in a way that feels good, with your fingers, your partner's penis or a vibrator, can trigger what many women describe as a deeply intense, soul-shaking climax.
3) Blended orgasm
If you can handle two, three or even four times the intensity and pleasure of a normal orgasm, this kind of orgasm, the blended orgasm, is for you. A blended orgasm is a climax that occurs when more than one erogenous zone is stimulated at the same time. G-spot penetration combined with clitoral contact is one way to experience the explosive orgasm that usually follows. But it could also come from vaginal penetration together with clitoral, nipple or anal stimulation, or all of them simultaneously. Wow!
'The greater the stimulation, the greater the blood flow and the more earth-shattering the orgasm,' says Prudence Hall, MD, gynaecologist and medical director of the Hall Center in Southern California. Combinations of different types of touch and pressure can trigger a blended orgasm. If you are trying to have one with a partner, let your imagination run free and use your hands alongside the pleasure of intercourse itself. Using a vibrator at the same time in the bedroom is another interesting option.
4) Anal orgasm
Anal sex or anal play is not every woman's cup of tea. Some love it, while others would never consider it. But if you fall into the first category—or have never tried it and are a little curious—you know that an anal orgasm is one of the most rewarding a woman can experience.
Because the anus and rectum are so close to the vagina and clitoris, and are connected by a thin stretch of tissue called the perineum, they share many of the same nerves and muscles, including the PC (or pelvic floor) muscle, says Dr. Sala. The PC muscle is very sensitive in many women, and stimulating it can trigger a vaginal orgasm, as well as an anal one, he says. When they occur together, the explosion of pleasure is literally overwhelming.
Still unsure whether you want to try it? Find out more and gradually begin experimenting, alone or with your partner. This type of sex involves risks that should be considered before trying it. Safer sex is essential for you and your partner.
5) Deep vaginal erogenous zone orgasm
The clitoris and G-spot are not the only pleasure points in the vagina. Women who know their bodies and different forms of sexual pleasure well say there are other erogenous zones inside the vagina that, when touched in the right way, can lead to what is collectively known as a deep vaginal orgasm.
First comes the A-spot, high on the front wall of the vagina just below the cervix. Then there is another spot, the O-spot, on the back wall of the vagina, almost behind the cervix. "I cannot see them when I look at a vagina," says Dr Hall. But the ligaments here contain nerves that seem very sensitive for many women. If fingers, a toy or a penis fill the vagina sufficiently to reach the upper part and those nerves are properly stimulated, it can feel very, very pleasurable! "It could make the entire uterus contract during an orgasm—there can be enormous contractions throughout the area," he adds.
6) Orgasm with female ejaculation (squirting orgasm)
Yes, female ejaculation really exists; it is the hallmark of this type of orgasm. "Sometimes when women are aroused or sexually stimulated, fluid is expelled from the Skene's glands, around the urethra or the front surface of the vagina, during or before orgasm," says Dr Ross. The fluid is typically clear and does not resemble urine, and the amount released can range from moderate to a full gush.
G-spot stimulation is the type of touch that usually leads to squirting. But stroking and teasing the area around the urethra is also known to produce an explosive climax. "No one really knows exactly how many women experience a squirting orgasm, but recent studies have found that more than 50% of women can have one. In any case, many women, when sufficiently stimulated and aroused, have experienced a substantial release of vaginal lubrication, known as gushing, during orgasm," says Dr Ross.
7) Cervical orgasm
You might think of your cervix only in terms of pelvic examinations or pregnancy, but it can also be an important erogenous zone and produce its own unique kind of orgasm, says Dr. Hall. It is not something every woman will experience, as the cervix can also be too sensitive to direct touch. But cervical stimulation is associated with powerful, intense orgasms, she says.
It is best to explore a cervical orgasm when you are very aroused and have had plenty of foreplay, which can make your cervix more receptive to touch. Try asking your partner to use slow, deep movements or, if his penis is too large, use fingers or a vibrator. Do not force it by pushing too hard, as this can actually be painful. There are many other ways to experience a satisfying orgasm.
8) Nipple orgasm
Did you know that breasts and nipples are among the main erogenous zones? Your nipples respond particularly to touch and caresses because they are packed with nerve endings and their skin is extremely sensitive. Some women can actually experience a powerful orgasm simply from having their nipples caressed and kissed. There is no clear consensus on how many women can reach orgasm without any contact below the waist, and researchers are unsure why nipple orgasms occur.
If the idea appeals to you, exploring it could be great fun. Have the whole nipple area kissed, sucked and stroked. If you feel more adventurous, try squeezing them with little clips too!
9) Gym orgasm (or exercise-induced orgasm or coregasm)
Reaching climax during a demanding gym workout may sound a little strange. But exercise-induced orgasms, or coregasms, are real. An Indiana University study found that 370 of the 530 women surveyed had experienced orgasm or sexual pleasure while exercising, usually during core exercises involving the lower abdomen and pelvic floor.
“One way to induce an orgasm is to squeeze your pelvic floor muscles to develop and strengthen them,” says Dr. Hall. “If someone has very well-developed pelvic floor muscles and really starts contracting them during exercise, I think orgasms are absolutely possible during a workout.” But most women will need some kind of clitoral and/or vaginal stimulation to make everything even more pleasurable... and see stars too, he adds.
10) Sleep orgasm
You have surely had sexual dreams before. But this is something else. “Some women can have an orgasm during an erotic dream while asleep,” says Dr. Ross. One report suggests that 37% of women have experienced one of these sleep orgasms, but it is difficult to know how common they are.
Sleep orgasms usually begin with a sexy dream, which increases blood flow to the genitals and deepens relaxation, somehow allowing the body to reach orgasm while a woman is not even awake.
11) Multiple orgasms (multiorgasm)
Why not venture further? That is the appeal of multiple orgasms, something women can enjoy because, unlike men, they do not experience a refractory period after climax requiring a break before they are ready for round two.
“Women reach a certain elevated state of ecstasy with their first orgasm, and can then remain up there on that plateau,” says Dr. Hall. “With more and more stimulation, they can have multiple orgasms.” Many women experience this, he says, but not every woman will want to.
But if you do, here is a strategy: keep contracting your pelvic muscles yourself, tightening and releasing them as you would to stop the flow of urine, suggests Dr Hall. This keeps blood flow high, increasing sensitivity and making orgasm number 2 easier to reach. If you do not return completely to your pre-arousal state, you can build up more quickly to a third orgasm. And so on, until you are exhausted with pleasure!
