Orgasm \u2013 what a beautiful word, and an even better feeling. Everyone knows about them, everyone wants them, however, not all of us understand it. Today, we\u2019ll dive deep into what an orgasm really is, how it feels, what types of orgasms are out there, and what are the tips for having the strongest and most intense orgasms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is an orgasm?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orgasm is the pleasant sensation that we feel when climaxing. They are achieved through sexual intercourse or by masturbating. Sometimes, orgasms are accidental and spontaneous, like when you\u2019re riding a bike a bit too passionately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technically speaking, the meaning of an orgasm is a physical state that features a series of contractions that result in great pleasure. The blood flows into your genitals, and the increased muscle tension helps you peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of orgasms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to orgasm types, there is more than meets the eye! Female bodies are not only gorgeous, but they are lucky too, because there are multiple ways they can orgasm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clitoral orgasm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Clitoral orgasm is the most popular and well-known type of female orgasm. It is also believed to be the surest method to get to the O-town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vaginal orgasm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vaginal orgasms are achieved through vaginal stimulation and reaching the G-spot. There is no definite study on the topic, but some women report that they\u2019re unable to have vaginal orgasms. We don\u2019t know if it\u2019s because they\u2019ve not had a partner or a sex toy that could have helped them out, or if their bodies simply don\u2019t react to vaginal stimulation like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anal orgasm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yep, you can have an orgasm during anal sex. The muscles contract in your anal canal causing you to climax. And the best part \u2013 anyone can have them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erogenous orgasm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our bodies are fascinating. Some researchers have found that it\u2019s possible to reach orgasm through stimulation of different body parts, like breasts, nipples, and prostate, and the most random areas, like the back. Hearing that makes the Flure team very intrigued, to say the least! Definitely something we should all look into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hands-free orgasm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some men and women claim to be able to reach orgasm without touching their genitals or having any other physical stimulation. They literally speak orgasms into existence. This has to do with tantric practices and the ability to meditate and focus your mind on what\u2019s important \u2013 creating pleasant sensations purely with the help of the brain. So next time you\u2019re stuck commuting, you know what to do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does orgasm feel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There is so much talk about orgasms and having them, but how do they actually feel? And how can you know that you had one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vagina owners don\u2019t have the luxury or ejaculation that penises produce. This means it can be hard to distinguish if it was an orgasm or just a reeeaally pleasant sensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orgasm happens at the peak of your pleasure. Once the process of orgasm starts, you can\u2019t really stop it. In those key moments, you might lose touch with reality a bit, as in forgetting where you are and what you\u2019re doing. Your breath intensifies and your mind can be racing. Once you reach orgasm, you feel intense pleasure paired with mind and body relaxation. Everything feels good, and the sense of calmness takes you over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re orgasming, your brain takes part in the process too. First of all, the amount of oxygen that comes to the brain through the blood decreases (that\u2019s probably why you feel out of touch with the surroundings). Secondly, several hormones are released into your brain during orgasm. Your nervous system shifts to high alert mode too, and then it takes some time post-orgasm to get back to normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you\u2019ve orgasmed as a result of intercourse with your partner, and you suddenly feel so much closer to them \u2013 this could be a sign of an orgasm too! Because orgasms trigger oxytocin release (which is responsible for us feeling social and romantic trust), you might think that you\u2019re soulmates all of a sudden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, when it comes to orgasms, many believe that you\u2019ll know when it happens. And it is true. Orgasms have a very distinct feeling, so it\u2019s hard to confuse it with something else. And if you\u2019re really not sure whether you\u2019ve orgasmed or not, you probably haven\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to orgasm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have a penis, then achieving an orgasm is pretty straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those of us who have vulvas sometimes have a bit more struggle with that. There is even a phenomenon called \u201cthe orgasm gap\u201d that symbolizes the drastic difference between how many orgasms men and women have. For some, female orgasm is like a mythical creature that supposedly exists, but nobody has seen it in real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that\u2019s so not cool! Everyone should have great orgasms, and have them more often! (Now that would be a fun slogan for a presidential campaign, don\u2019t you think?). Orgasms can be reached through having sex with your partner or masturbating. So if you\u2019re not sure how to have an orgasm, explore different positions, play with your fingers, sex toys, or ask your lover to help. Experiment and have fun along the way, and you\u2019ll get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is male and female orgasm different<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ejaculation aside, male and female orgasms are not that different. Several experiments in the lab have tracked the process of orgasming by both sexes, and they haven\u2019t really spotted any difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The contractions during orgasm can\u2019t be differentiated by sex, so it\u2019s safe to say we\u2019re all the same when it comes to reaching the big O. And talking about ejaculating, some women experience squirting, so it\u2019s bringing them even closer to the opposite sex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to have better orgasms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Orgasms have many benefits for our minds and souls, but not all orgasms are equal. Some of them are more powerful and prolonged, others are on a lighter side. But how can you have better orgasms more often?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We may not have a Ph.D. in orgasm sciences, but here are some great universal orgasm tips that both the Flure team and experts have tried and tested:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try to have less stress<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Yep, stress even gets us in our beds! Feelings of anxiety, stress, and other negative emotions can prevent us from having great orgasms. So you know what to do \u2013 try to rest more, sleep better, avoid doom-scrolling and toxic people who make you feel bad. If not for your mental health, then for the sake of orgasms!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start with a massage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Massaging your body will help you relax and create the right mood. Plus, one of the sure ways to make orgasm more exciting is to build anticipation. Putting the main action off with massage is a great way to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Send for help<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re on your own or with a partner, but there\u2019s no orgasm in sight, use sex toys to get you going. There are tons of accessories that can help you climax in different ways, so get curious and don\u2019t be shy to try new things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start exercising regularly<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Regular physical activity helps our bodies get stronger, our minds be clearer, and our energy levels go up. The better you feel inside and out, the more chances you have to experience stronger orgasms. If you hate gyms, take longer walks, join dance classes, or sign up for tennis, volleyball, or something like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drink your water<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At that point, you might start wondering if you\u2019re reading an article about orgasms or tips for losing weight. But trust us! Sufficient hydration is vital for muscles to be able to contract. And with no contraction, there is no orgasm! So grab your Stanley cup, a glass, or anything else and pour some clean water into it. Your clit will thank you later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Build trust with your partner<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes underwhelming orgasms can be a result of your discomfort with the lover. Find the time to have raw and honest conversations with them, spend time together, go on dates, and really invest in your relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forget about how you look<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t worry too much about looking sexy and seductive or you\u2019ll risk losing the orgasm and having awkward sex. Be present and focus on what\u2019s going on between you and your partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consult a sex therapist<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

They will be able to guide you on this journey and possibly prescribe some treatments that will help your body be more responsive to sexy time. It\u2019s crazy how much we depend on hormones, nutrients, vitamins, and things like that. Perhaps your therapist will have a medical solution to your mid orgasms problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turn on the Dora the Explorer mode<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Our sex education system is in a pathetic state, to say the least. Many adults still don\u2019t understand their body\u2019s anatomy. So get curious, arm yourself with a mirror, hands, sex toys, and explore!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final tip: You don\u2019t need to have an orgasm every time. Just because you didn\u2019t climax doesn\u2019t mean you didn\u2019t have fun and high-quality sex. Yes, orgasming is great, but it\u2019s not all of the experience that we can have in our bedrooms. So if you sometimes don\u2019t have it \u2013 don\u2019t worry, and enjoy the moment nonetheless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
