1. What exactly is an orgasm?
Orgasm is a release that occurs when the body can no longer handle the pressure of increased blood flow in the genitals. An orgasm is simply the process of blood rushing back to its origin, and all the tense muscles are released.
2. What is a multiple orgasm?
For a woman, multiple can mean a very long super orgasm, or two or three in a row. Unlike men, women can continue to orgasm, and some men can also have non-ejaculatory orgasms.
The world record for female orgasms is a staggering 134 per hour. This was recorded at the Center for Marital and Sexual Studies in California. The world record for male orgasms was 16 per hour, found in the same study.
3. Is there such a thing as a vaginal orgasm?
Most sex therapists say that all orgasms originate from the clitoris, and that orgasms achieved through penetration are simply because the inside of the clitoris is stimulated, or the head of the clitoris is pulled by the thrusting action.
No doubt some women can orgasm through intense stimulation of the front wall of the vagina, but this is still not a vaginal orgasm because it stimulates the Skene glands (similar to the male prostate) and the area around the urethra in women.
4. Do some people really orgasm at the gym?
10% of women report orgasming while working out, some women can orgasm purely from nipple stimulation, and (rare but true) some people orgasm when they sneeze.
It has been documented that a small percentage of people are able to orgasm purely from fantasy - without any physical stimulation.
5. Can men and women orgasm at the same time?
Let's look at the facts. About 75% of men believe they always orgasm with their partner, compared to 30% of women. Do the math, and you'll quickly see that it's highly unlikely that your partners will go into orgasmic ecstasy at the same moment.
Frankly, taking turns - the woman orgasms first, the man later - is not only more practical, it's sometimes more satisfying.
6. Can you tell if your partner is faking it?
Many people experience a flushed chest during orgasm, but it comes and goes in a split second, so it's easy to miss. Most women also touch gently and directly afterwards. If you can touch her clitoris directly afterwards, she's probably faking it.
From foreplay to the end, it takes an average of 13 minutes and 25 seconds for women to orgasm, so don't rush it
7. Do men come more often than women?
A large-scale study found that for every three orgasms experienced by men, women have about one. One-third of women have problems orgasming with their partners (by any means), and 80% of women are unable to orgasm through direct intercourse alone.
8. What makes it easier for women to come?
The distance between the clitoris and the vaginal opening predicts the likelihood of a woman's orgasm. If the distance is less than the width of a thumb, the clitoris is more likely to be stimulated through the "pull" sensation activated by thrusts.
9. What is the world record for orgasm?
The longest orgasm ever recorded was recorded in 1966, when a woman had a 45-second orgasm involving 25 individual contractions. She was lucky!
10. How long does the average orgasm last?
A related study found that female orgasms are, on average, 25% longer than male orgasms. Female orgasms typically last 10.9 seconds, while his are two seconds shorter at 8.7 seconds.
