Did you know that August 8th is Female Orgasm Day? Well it is, so it is the perfect time to talk about female orgasms, but most specifically all the different types of orgasms the female body can have. There are about 11 different types of orgasms that can be experienced and we have tips for how to go about having them if you never have.
Clitoral Orgasm
Clitoral orgasms are the most commonly experienced orgasm. They are achieved from direct stimulation of the clitoris, most commonly the external portion. If you are wanting to achieve a clitoral orgasm you can start by playing with the clit with your fingers. You can drag your finger in circles around the clit, flick it back and forth, or gently massage it between two fingers. If you want to explore other types of stimulation for clitoral orgasms, vibration with a bullet vibrator or suction toys are great options.
G-Spot Orgasm
G-spot orgasms are experienced by stimulating the inner portion of the vaginal canal about an inch deep. It is a different textured part of the vaginal canal that actually stimulates some of the internal portions of the clitoris. You can try for a g-spot orgasm by inserting fingers into the vaginal canal and doing the come hither motion. If you want to use toys, choosing something that is bulbous and will allow pinpointed stimulation like the Little Dipper or Lelo Gigi 2 are great options.
Vaginal Orgasm
Vaginal orgasms are experienced during vaginal penetration, be it from a sex toy or a partner. Despite the popular narrative, vaginal orgasms are not that common. Nearly 82% of women report not reaching orgasm from penetration alone. If you want to give vaginal orgasms a go by yourself using a toy like a dildo is a great idea.
Cervical Orgasm
Cervical orgasms are one of the more complex orgasms for people to achieve because not everyone enjoys cervical stimulation or can necessarily reach their orgasm. If you have never touched your cervix I recommend paying closer attention to your menstrual cycle. Depending on the phase you are in your cervix is lower or higher. When your cervix is lower it is much easier to stimulate it. Using something like a vibrating dildo or a longer toy that vibrates is a good idea because it will make it easier to reach your cervix. It is important to take your time and be gentle when stimulating the cervix as it is a new sensation and can be overwhelming for some people.
Anal Orgasm
Anal orgasms can happen from a multitude of different types of stimulation. If you have never tried anal play before this is another one you are going to want to take it slow with. A good starting point is always stimulating the rim of the anus with just your finger. After you get used to it and relax the muscles in your anus you can move to inserting your finger in your anus. You can explore more anal play with things like anal plugs, anal beads, and anal vibrators. Some important reminders for anal play are to always use lube because the anus is not self lubricating and to be sure to take your time.
Nipple Orgasm
Nipple stimulation can lead to orgasm for some people and not so much for others. If you are more sensitive to nipple stimulation in the sense that stimulation leads to you feeling something then you may have better chances of reaching orgasm from just nipple stimulation. You can explore by rubbing your nipples with your fingers or by using stimulation from a bullet vibrator or a suction toy. If nipple stimulation is new for you, take your time and don’t stress if an orgasm doesn’t happen immediately.
Blended Orgasm
Blended orgasms are when two types of stimulation happen at the same time Generally, blended orgasms are used to describe clitoral and g-spot or vaginal stimulation at the same time, but it truly can be any orgasm that comes from two different types of stimulation happening at once. If you are looking for vulva blended orgasms rabbit vibrators and dual stimulators are great for making that happen.
Squirting Orgasm
Squirting has become a well known sexual activity, but not an easily attainable activity for everyone. For a lot of people g-spot stimulation works better at getting them to be able to squirt. You can try the come hither motion with fingers. If you want to use toys, metal toys like the Le Wand Stainless Steel Bow is a great option for direct g-spot stimulation. A common hiccup for people trying to squirt is that they get to the point where they feel like they are going to pee and instead of giving into the feeling, they pull back. Also be sure to drink your water to be well hydrated and empty your bladder before sexual activity.
Exercise Orgasm
Exercise orgasms are a little more complex to achieve. For most people workouts aren’t pleasurable, but rather dreaded and avoided. Exercise orgasms happen when core and pelvic muscles are worked, so focusing on exercises that center on those areas are good. If you have never done core exercises and don’t know where to start, I recommend Tik Tok, that’s where I go to find all my workouts. Don’t feel bad if an exercise orgasm doesn’t happen, they are one of the more sporadic types of orgasm.
Sleep Orgasm
Sleep orgasms or wet dreams require the least amount of work from you, because they happen in your sleep without needing physical stimulation. Though there is not anything you can do during your sleep to ensure you have an orgasm you can do some preparatory things to get your mind in a sexy place. Enjoying some erotica before bed, be it reading it, listening to it, or watching it in porn can help so that you dream sexy dreams as you sleep which can help you in having a sleep orgasm.
With so many ways to experience orgasms, which one are you going to try first? Whichever one you do try, remember to have the lube handy, because lube helps in making sex more pleasurable and achieving orgasms.
