Female sexuality is a little more complex than their male counterparts, much more than many people think, perhaps. Women usually need a lot of stimulation to get aroused and reach an orgasm.

Given that they’re so complex, you need to know more about how you can give and get pleasure. Thus, many couples decide to experiment with sexual games and also with forms of individual exploration that allow them to know each other better and get a highly satisfactory experience.

Scientists have observed that women can get various kinds of orgasms by stimulating certain parts of their bodies. Below, we’ll take a closer look at some of the kinds of orgasms that women can experience.

1. Five types of orgasms – the clitoris

This is the most well-known sexual part of the woman. Being the most accessible, it is the easiest orgasm to achieve. In other words, it can easily be touched.

Masturbation is magical, whether you’re alone or with an intimate partner. Some people say that masturbation is the big key here. Dare to guide your partner and find out more about that part of your body.

2. The vaginal orgasm

Unlike the previous one, this is one of the most difficult orgasm types, since mere penetration doesn’t sufficiently stimulate the G-spot.

In order to achieve this orgasm, you need to try hard and concentrate. Even though it’s complex, we recommend that you don’t toss it aside, because it can be extremely satisfying.

In order to attain one, you must communicate well. There are different positions that can stimulate this area: standing, kneeling, sitting, from behind or from the side—go until you find the perfect position.

In some cases, women state that they achieve this type of orgasm when they’re on top, controlling the movements, or on the bottom, where the partner can reach their cervix.

3. The mixed orgasm

The mixed orgasms are one of the most intense of all female orgasm types. You can achieve this by stimulating the clitoris along with reaching vaginal stimulation. This is a complete orgasm. Here, women feel their entire body tremble and are sensitive to all sensations.

There are a lot of women that don’t realize that, in addition to the G spot, the clitoris has ramifications around the vulva and inside the vagina. This is why you can stimulate both of them at the same time.

And since you can’t get to it easily then you must do several tests and a basic analysis of your body. Try positions where you are up and alternate different types of movements until you find the one you like the most.

4. The taboo orgasm

A taboo orgasm is another name for an anal orgasm. The anus, like the clitoris, has very sensitive nerve endings that lead to pleasure with minimal effort, delicacy and, above all, good communication with your partner.

You can use your fingers to stimulate the area and also your mouth and, obviously, your penis. Make use of some lubricant and some erotic toys to help dilate the area to facilitate penetration. Of course, hygiene is essential.

5. Exercising at the gym can give you an orgasm

According to a new study, women don’t need a man, vibrators, or even direct sexual stimulation to reach an orgasm. The phenomenon that is female sexual pleasure can be induced by exercise.

You might be the type of woman that goes to the gym every day, or perhaps you climbed some steep stairs and felt a certain kind of tickle. If so, then you’ve experienced the kind of sexual pleasure that comes from exercising.

This type of orgasm won’t produce nearly half of the sensations that you’ll feel in the previously mentioned ones. Some women have developed this way of feeling pleasure, making it more and more pleasurable and intense by doing abs, bicycling, aerobics, and running. What have you got to lose!

The five types of orgasms and the great female challenge

Reaching an orgasm might not be the easiest thing in the world for many women, especially if you don’t know your own body. But, you can get to it with a little bit of practice.

But you must know, you can have not only one, but all the orgasm types of them within the same encounter. Just free yourself a little and leave your shyness behind.

The best part is, you don’t have to be in a relationship. So, single women can also enjoy the pleasure of any of the five types of orgasms presented here.
