If it’s difficult for you to have an orgasm or you’ve never had one before, you perhaps may have asked yourself why. You may have even wondered whether the shape of the vagina influence orgasm.

This is a very good question, especially given the findings of a recent study.

Does the Shape of the Vagina Influence Orgasm?

According to a study carried out at the University of Emory (United States), what makes some women achieve orgasm and others not simply depends on their anatomy.

The clitoris is the area primarily affected in this regard. In fact, the study concluded that if the vagina is 2.5 cm or less from the clitoral glans, orgasm can be achieved through intercourse or penetration.

On the other hand, it’s very difficult for women whose vagina is further away from the clitoris to reach orgasm. That is unless she directly stimulates this genital area. This is a definite way to reach an orgasm.

Overall, the closer the clitoris is to the vagina, the more stimulation it receives during penetration. If it’s further away, then the clitoris isn’t rubbed with the same intensity. It’s therefore much more difficult for the woman to reach orgasm.

This study also makes it clear that the anatomy of each woman is unique, but that this shouldn’t be a problem.

Although this study found that the shape of the vagina influence orgasm, it also states that your ability to reach orgasm lies in your ability to know your body so that you can enjoy sexual stimulation to the fullest.

Some recommendations

The best thing to do to achieve orgasm if you’ve never had one before is to explore your own body to understand what stimulates you. Only then can you know what exactly excites you the most so that you can reach climax.

If you know yourself more, you’ll be able to have much more satisfying sex. Remember: the purpose of self-exploration is to discover other places that trigger as much or more pleasure than those that you already know about.

In the vast majority of cases, we tend to focus on what we usually do during sexual activities. That’s when we lose the ability to discover new sensations that may make the experience even better.

Enjoyment is the key to orgasm

As we said, each woman’s unique anatomy isn’t a problem. Instead, it’s an opportunity to get to know and explore yourself a little more.

The key to any sexual relationship is enjoyment.

Increase your sex drive

In this study, the association discovered a way to solve a deficient sex drive with a bright artificial light therapy.

Apparently, you can use this type of light to increase your sexual desire. It’s ultimately an alternative that will unconsciously increase your sex drive.

Of course, you can also complement this with a light dinner beforehand with aphrodisiac ingredients.

Sex and health benefits

It’s a fact that sexually active people become sick much less often. This is because your immune system generates more antibodies when you have sex compared to when you don’t.

This is how your body protects you against viruses, germs and any other factors that can make you sick.

A study conducted at the University of Wilkes (United States) proved this.

One interesting finding was that having sex one or two times a week raises the levels of certain antibodies.

So what are you waiting for? Discover your body and learn to enjoy sex more than ever. After all, it’s good for your health!
