There are different types of orgasms, and bodies have the fantastic ability to experience different ones during a sexual lifetime. There are the great ones. You might know the kind - you're unable to stay still, wriggling and squirming, legs shaking until finally, an explosion erupts between your thighs, leaving you quivering and panting... We like those ones!
There are long & strong ones, short & sharp ones, cresting orgasms, wet climaxes, fast ones, multiple ones and also, the kind we like the least: the orgasms that are so weak you wonder why you even bothered. The last kind is pitiful little vaginal sneezes that leave you frustrated and disappointed rather than sleepy and satisfied. Mere blips on the orgasmic radar!
Luckily, there are many tricks to try that can help amp up the intensity of orgasms, and we're sharing our top tips below.
Boost your climax by turning up the heat
Did you know that heat helps to increase the blood flow to the vulva, which in turn is fantastic for stronger orgasms?
Relaxing in a hot, steamy bath before play is an excellent way of getting warmed up and ready for fun. A gentle stroke and feel of your labia lips whilst bathing will help kickstart blood flow to the area. You'll know it's working when warmth starts building from the inside. At this point, labia lips darken and feel swollen.
Try an orgasm-enhancing lube
Lube can get an undeserved bad rap. There are folks out there who still believe that lube is something 'for old women.' Bah!
Lube can be helpful if your vagina is feeling dehydrated or uncomfortable, but really, lube is very sexy even if you produce plenty of natural wetness.
Some lube, like ID Pleasure, can help increase the frequency and intensity of female orgasms as the formula contains a naturally occurring amino acid which encourages blood flow to the area, heightening sensations.
ID Pleasure combines natural sensation-enhancing ingredients like Ginko Biloba, Red Clover, and Menthol to ensure that blood flow to the genitals is at peak performance. For penises, this means firmer erections and for vaginas, it means tingly sensations.
Masturbate your way to orgasmic know-how
If you are keen on enhancing your pleasure and enjoying powerful orgasms, you need to focus on finding out what it is that really gets you off. Before you get down to it with a partner, try experimenting with different techniques with your fingers or toys. Knowing your own body and working out your pleasure points is the best way to experience more pleasure and regular orgasms.
Having some uninterrupted time will help you relax into your body and allow it to enjoy your touches. If you're into erotic stories or films, you could get your brain aroused by reading or watching something sexy. After all, our brains are our largest sex organs!
If you want to try porn without having to trawl through the many free-but-oh-so-unsexy clips on the web, we recommend giving Erika Lust a go. Lust is an award-winning adult filmmaker of ethical porn. Check out her website here.
Add a vibrator's orgasmic power
The clit plays an important part in orgasmic pleasure for about 75% of women & vulva owners (that's most of us). As pleasurable as fingers and tongues on a clitoris can be, it's common for the person focused on giving pleasure to run out of steam or develop a jaw ache at a crucial moment. This is when the power of a vibrator comes in really handy.
The key to good orgasms is sustained clitoral stimulation, i.e. not a quick fumble but a decent amount of time spent teasing and building arousal. Pair this with the reliable vibrations of a sex toy, and you’re in for a thrilling ride!
For a toe-curling time, start on the lowest vibrator setting and work your way up by slowly increasing the intensity. As the power of the vibrations builds, so will your pleasure...
Control your orgasm
'Edging' is a fancy word for 'holding back your orgasm for as long as you can.' You should add it to your sex dictionary sharpish.
This is a tried & tested method that may take a while to perfect. Still, once you've got the hang of it, you'll be able to edge your way to orgasm over and over until you have no other option but to let the orgasm rock your body before leaving you spent and grinning. Good times!
As you get to know your body and how it reacts to the right kind of stimulation, you'll know when an orgasm is near. At this point, stop the rubbing/patting/touching that feels so good and focus on another body part for a while. (We know, frustrating, right?!)
Once you feel in control after having reversed back down the hump of pleasure, start edging yourself closer to the top again. And stop just before climax again.
Carry this on for as long as you can stand it. When you eventually let go, you'll be able to enjoy what'll seem like a never-ending, thunderous orgasm!
