Sexologist and journalist Jessica Toscano shares the secrets to achieving 15 different types of orgasms with daily mail On Saturday.
Toscano’s clients often come to her with requests to help them have more frequent – and more fun – sexual experiences.
“They are often shocked when I respond by asking what type of orgasm they are pursuing,” she wrote for the Mail.
Have an orgasm roughly cracked up to be The final thrust of the sex act, as it were, involves the contraction of muscles in the groin and the release of pleasure-inducing neurochemicals.
While most people are familiar with the “predictable” male orgasm that results in ejaculation, according to Toscano, the “mysterious” female orgasm eludes experts in every area of sex-related gender-based research.
“Despite years of research, scientists are still struggling to fully understand the complexities of female sexual pleasure, which is influenced by a variety of physical, emotional and psychological factors,” she said.
“For women, the experiences may be very different – which means there is still much to be discovered about how and why they occur.”
Toscano’s list also includes non-sexual orgasms, those achieved outside or unintentionally of sexual activity, including adolescence’s most notorious example: the “wet” dream.
According to Toscano, there are 15 types:
clitoris
The clitoris, located at the top of the vulva, is filled with more than 10,000 nerve endings, making it one of the most sensitive sex organs in the entire body.
Vagina
Vaginal orgasm is reached through internal stimulation. According to Toscano, only an estimated 20% of women can achieve this “ecstatic” orgasm.
cervical
Studies have shown that when stimulated, the cervix, located at the top of the vaginal canal, lights up a different part of the brain that can trigger “much deeper” orgasms than vaginal or clitoral orgasms.
g spot
Named after the German-born physician and scientist Ernst Gräfenberg, who claimed the area as a major erogenous zone for women nearly 100 years ago, the elusive G-spot is subject to questions due to a lack of physiological data, Toscano said. Is under siege. However, research has shown that women benefit from its stimulation.
female ejaculation
Women can do it, too: Also known as “squirting,” an estimated 10 to 54% of women sometimes inadvertently squirt a clear liquid – a mixture of urine and secretions from Skene’s glands – during an extreme moment of pleasure. Known for quitting.
prostate gland
Some have called it the “male G-spot” for its ability to induce orgasm by massaging the organ, which can be reached a few inches inside the rectum.
anus
Stimulation in and around the anus can induce contractions of the pelvic muscles that enhance orgasm, which some say results in a “longer-lasting” orgasm than other forms of orgasm. .
breast
Some women have reported experiencing so-called “nipplegasm,” Toscano claimed, though he says most women will enjoy nipple play in conjunction with other forms of stimulation.
miscellaneous
Double your pleasure with two or more types of stimulation at once, Toscano recommends, especially when different erogenous zones light up different parts of the brain.
various
Make it a marathon with multiple orgasms: While it’s tough for men—less than 10% can do it without losing steam in the middle—women are blessed with this erotic superpower, according to Tonsko.
aphrodisiac
Outside of the major players – the genitals – stimulation of erogenous zones such as the neck, lips and inner thighs can produce intense physical arousal in their own right.
powerful
This “non-sexual” form of orgasm originates from the mind amid an intense wave of sexual energy throughout the body without any physical stimulation.
Exercise
Ab muscles do more than support your core. Toscano wrote that an estimated 9% of people have experienced orgasm during a workout of their core muscles—although most reports occurred in their late teens and early 20s, a time when sex hormones peak. .
Feeding The Beast
Although it’s not considered sexual when offspring are involved, research has shown that women can experience pleasurable sensations while breastfeeding – and it’s certainly a popular topic in the kink community among consenting adults. .
Sleep
Orgasm during sleep – a “wet dream” – is a form of energetic orgasm because it does not require physical touch to occur. Although most often associated with puberty, vivid sexual dreams throughout life can trigger the same hormones associated with physical sexual acts, inducing orgasm without direct stimulation.
