It’s widely known that it can take women longer to reach climax.
In fact, around 20% of women (or thereabouts) can orgasm through penetration alone during sex.
This means it takes a bit more work to fully satisfy a female sexually.
Let’s be clear – hitting the big-O shouldn’t be the main goal of sex.
People will enjoy their time between the sheets a lot more if they just focus on enjoying themselves rather than reaching the finish line.
But – when it comes to pleasuring a woman – there are several types of orgasms she can experience.
If you want to make sure she has a great time, or are simply keen to try out some new things in the bedroom, it may be worth brushing up on your knowledge of the different types of orgasms.
Clitoral orgasm
Perhaps the most likely way a woman will orgasm is via clitoral stimulation.
The clitoris is a small, nerve-dense structure that you’ll find at the top of the vaginal opening.
It’s only purpose is to provide pleasure.
You need to work out if the female partner is turned on more by direct or indirect stimulation to see what works best.
Some may prefer you touching the clitoris itself, while others might enjoy pressure around the labia and clitoral hood.
To stimulate the area it needs to be rubbed, and moving in a spiral shape is said to work best.
G-spot orgasm
This is basically the female equivalent to the prostate, which is the male G-spot.
It’s the area at the front of the vaginal wall of the urethral sponge that can get highly stimulated when you’re having sex.
The key to making the most of this type of O is said to be peeing first, as wanting to urinate can prevent you from hitting climax.
When you insert a finger into the vagina, head to the belly button side of the body.
Blended orgasm
This happens when a woman is pleasured via the clitoris, but also through another form of stimulation at the same time.
Once you know how to hit the big-O in the best way, discovering what other parts of your body enjoy being stimulated can take things to the next level.
This could be anything from adding a little nipple play into the mix, or the woman enjoying her ear being nibbled.
Nipple orgasm
Yes, you can also have a nipple orgasm.
This is because, when the nipples are stimulated oxytocin is released, much like during orgasm.
But, when considering nipple pleasure, it’s best if people don’t focus on the goal of reaching climax too much.
People are better off seeing where the pleasure gets you to make the most of it.
It will take a little playing around to see what’s preferred, as some women will like their nipples to be sucked or pinched, while others prefer a lighter touch.
Anal orgasm
It’s possible to be turned on via the butt, as the clitoris stretches back to the anus.
This means anal play can also get the clitirus going too.
If you’ve never tried this before, sexperts tend to advise testing things out with a finger first.
It’s also essential to lube up and take things slowly until you feel super comfortable.
Skin orgasm
AKA “frisson,” this is similar to what you feel when you experience something like goosebumps.
When your skin is impacted in a certain way the little hairs can rise, and a similar feeling can happen when your skin is aroused.
Surprisingly, these are usually encouraged by music, but saucy scenes in movies or certain people who you connect with on a saucy level, can also cause the type of orgasm to occur.
Breath orgasm
Orgasms can be boosted by the simple power of breathing, as it has a great impact on how people experience sensations.
You can – in a way – breathe your way to climax, and it also helps to rid intrusive thoughts that may be hindering your time between the sheets.
There’s no right way to pull it off, as everyone orgasms in different ways, so you need to try out different types of breathing.
To find out what works best you could need to test out a mixture of rapid, shallow and deep breaths.
Women need to find out what works best for them, and what enables them to be aroused.
Fantasy orgasm
Yes – it’s true – you can think dirty for your way to orgasm.
Even though a small amount of people can hit the big-O via fantasy alone, it’s never a bad idea to experiment with the power of your brain.
You could even find you get turned on by things you’ve never thought of before by simply giving your mind permission to wonder off where it needs to go.
Think sexy and immerse yourself in the fantasy by imaging the atmosphere, and what it would feel like to be touched.
Indulge in your deepest fantasies until you’re fully satisfied.
Sleep orgasm
It can happen to all of us – men or women – though you can’t really force it.
Though it’s always fun when you wake up from a saucy sleep there’s nothing you can do to make sure they happen when you drift off.
