Orgasm is our body’s physical and psychological response to achieving supreme sexual pleasure. In women, how is this sexual enjoyment expressed and what are the means to achieve it?

Orgasm is a physiological response that appears during the peak phase of sexual arousal, which is associated with enjoyment and therefore supreme pleasure. In women, it is physically manifested by muscle contractions in the vagina and by retraction of the clitoris, as well as an increased heart rate. Nonetheless, not all women feel the same when they achieve climax. Indeed, orgasm is the result of the combination of several physical and psychological factors. We can therefore experience different kinds of enjoyment, with more or less intensity, these varying according to the people and the contexts. Once orgasm is reached, hormones are released in the body, which provide a feeling of well-being, calm and relaxation. Finally, orgasm can be achieved alone (this is called masturbation), or during sexual intercourse, whether there is penetration or not.

The first rule to achieve enjoyment is to succeed in letting go and clearing negative emotions in your head. Indeed, to concentrate on your pleasure, you must not have your mind taken by annoyances, stress or anxiety. And orgasm also has an effect on this: when it is reached, the brain releases hormones with relaxing and anti-depressant effects. Thus, the more regularly you have orgasms, the better you will be able to achieve it the next time. Likewise, it is important to regularly stimulate your pleasure and to listen to your libido. Do you have specific desires in terms of sex (fantasies, discovery of practices, masturbation)? So listen to your desire and try to satisfy it. This will allow you to better understand your pleasure and to reach orgasm more easily, whether alone or as a couple.

Strictly speaking, there are no two distinct orgasms, namely one achieved through stimulation of the clitoris and one vaginal. Indeed, the clitoris is an organ whose visible part, namely the glans located upstream of the lips, is minimal. In fact, its interior roots, 10 centimeters long, surround the vagina and urethra. Thus, by stimulating the vagina or the G-spot, we also stimulate the clitoris! Orgasm is therefore much more complex than you might think, and stimulation of the vagina and / or clitoris can just as easily help achieve enjoyment. Note that it is also possible to reach orgasm by stimulating other parts of the body than the clitoris, vagina or anus. Indeed, in some people, the stimulation of erogenous zones such as the breasts, neck or buttocks can lead to orgasm.

During sexual intercourse, certain positions are to be favored to reach orgasm. However, there is no one-size-fits-all manual that allows all women to achieve orgasm. It’s up to you to determine the positions that suit you best, depending on what you prefer during sex: being on top and controlling the back and forth, in which case the Amazon or the Lotus may be recommended, or on the contrary let yourself be guided by the movements of your partner, then the position of the missionary or the doggy style are to be privileged. Likewise, a position like that of the spoon stimulates the vagina and the clitoris from behind, and can provide different sensations. If you are more receptive to anal stimulation, then anal or rimming can help you achieve orgasm.

Masturbation is also a great way to achieve female enjoyment. In addition to knowing your body better and discovering your desires, it allows you to indulge yourself independently, where you want and when you want. In addition, during masturbation, you are the master of the movements. Thus, this technique allows you to go at your own pace, and to be able to vary the intensity or the nature of the caresses. There are different ways to masturbate: using sextoys (vibrating eggs, vibrators, etc.), with your hands, or in the shower, using the water jet. The stimulation can be done at the level of the clitoris, by massaging the area around and then focusing on the “hood” of the clitoris. It can also be vaginal or anal, thanks to the penetration of your fingers or an object. Finally, to increase your sexual arousal, you can use masturbatory support, such as a movie or erotic images.
