Naturally, being women, 1 type of orgasm isn’t good enough, so they have, wait for it…. 8 different types. But they’ve kind of shot themselves in the foot too, as now they have to fake 8 different ways. Most men don’t even know they have more than 1, so when your girlfriend reads this, you really are for the chop.

1. The Clitoral Orgasm
This orgasm occurs at the peak of clitoral stimulation. It begins with intense sexual excitement within the clitoris and as the orgasm peaks it sends a surge of pleasure throughout the body. Only several years ago did Masters & Johnson dispel the myth that this was the only kind of orgasm that women could have, when they showed proof of the g-spot orgasm. The clitoris is the most sexually sensitive part of a woman’s body and sexual arousal is always felt on some level in the clitoris no matter where the orgasm takes place. It is usually the case that sexual arousal first originates in the clit, and is considered an orgasmic starting point.

What Does It Feel Like?
Clitoral orgasms can be very intense, but may not be as “deep” as others. These orgasms are no doubt very, very pleasureful and helpful in achieving female ejaculation. Stimulating the clitoris can be a very good place to start when trying to achieve female ejaculation, after providing stimulation to the g-spot.

2. The Vaginal/ Cervical Orgasm
This orgasm may begin in the vagina and/or cervix, and expand from there, as well as can remain focused the entire time in those areas. This orgasm is demonstrated when the vagina remains snug and the uterus does not elevate. During the heightening of excitement, the vaginal opening becomes more lax and then bears down upon the arrival of an orgasm. The pelvic muscles and uterus, as well as the anus may begin to contract as well. At the peak of the orgasm, anything inside the vagina being used for stimulation may be forced out by the strength of the contractions.

What Does It Feel Like?
This orgasm usually takes longer to build, and is best achieved with rhythmic thrusting. Even more helpful is thrusting after being clitorally stimulated. Many women describe it as a pressure that grows and then explodes deep with in the vagina, quickly spreading intense, euphoric energy throughout the entire body. This orgasm can release an intense emotional response as it provides women with a sense of being penetrated more than just physically, but also in an emotionally vulnerable sense.

3. The Breast Orgasm
The breast orgasm occurs during a peak of stimulation to the breasts. Because breast stimulation often occurs earlier in a woman’s life than vaginal contact, many women become acquainted with this type. The nipples connect to the feminine genital nervous system, and many women feel a direct connection with their clitoris when their nipples are being stimulated. It is during this type of orgasm that many women feel uterine contractions that are not as noted during a clitoral orgasm. Most women feel sexual excitement from having their nipples stimulated, however not all have a direct association with their genitals, as this depends on nipple sensitivity.

What Does It Feel Like?
Most women indicate that the orgasm brought about from breast stimulation is a full, slow building, and strong orgasm. Women who have pierced nipples have indicated that if the piercing has not damaged or interfered with the nerve endings in the nipples, that these types of orgasms are quite easily achieved and with great intensity.

4. The Oral Orgasm
This orgasm, while ignored by many researchers does exist. Usually this orgasm occurs in women who are more orally sensitive. Because the mouth is a primary human sensory organ, and is the main source of nurturing and pleasure during our early formative years, it plays a very important role in the sexual nervous system. The mouth orgasm can occur during any sensual oral activity, from kissing, licking, sucking, to oral sex. The particular activity that will induce an oral orgasm is more dependent on the individual’s psychological attraction to certain sexual activities, as well as the areas of the mouth that feel most sexually stimulated. This can be on the lips, tongue, and on the roof of the mouth to areas deep within the throat, and/or a combination of oral contacts.

What Does It Feel Like?
Most women have indicated that the sexual stimulation begins in the lips and can spread from the mouth to the genitals, and even the whole body. The intensity and sensations of this orgasm varies from person to person, although many women indicate that there is a tingling, erotic feeling, which builds in the roof of the mouth.

5. The G-Spot Orgasm
This orgasm may begin at the g-spot and stay focused there throughout the building and final release of the orgasm, or may expand throughout the body. This orgasm is demonstrated when the g-spot is stimulated and becomes “puffy” and swollen as the tissue surrounding the female Paraurethral/Skenes glands fill with blood during sexual arousal. This results in the tissue becoming firm to the touch.

What Does It Feel Like?
Like the vaginal orgasm, this usually takes longer to build. Because the g-spot is not stimulated as much by friction as it is with pressure. Thus, using a rhythmic, “pushing” against the g-spot is more pleasureful than light rubbing. As discussed earlier, the stimulation of the g-spot increases the fluid build up in the Paraurethral/Skenes glands and thus easily enhances female ejaculation. This is why many researchers make the error of assuming that this is the only orgasm that will evoke female ejaculation. Most women describe this type of orgasm as an intense, deeply sensual pressure that builds until it feels like the entire vagina explodes with ecstasy (often including cum) and usually followed by euphoric energy that spreads throughout entire body.

6. The Anal Orgasm
This orgasm originates in the anus and is usually induced by rhythmic insertion of an object into the anus. Because women do not have a prostate it was thought that they would not enjoy anal sex as much as a man would, however, the Paraurethral/Skenes glands are stimulated through the pressure to the upper vaginal wall during this sexual activity. Therefore, those nerve endings provide a pleasureful sensation to the rectal and anal tissue.

What Does It Feel Like?
Most women have described the anal orgasm as feeling like a building of sensual pleasure form the nerve endings in the anus, and creating an erotic sensation in the vagina, g-spot, and/or clitoris. The simultaneous stimulation of the anus merges with the heightening arousal in the females’ genitals and creates a deep and powerful orgasm that may even spread throughout the entire body.

7. The Mental Orgasm
This orgasm can be brought about by visual and auditory environmental stimulation (i.e.: sexual behavior exhibited in front of the individual via in-person, movies, or other). Women can become so turned on by this type of stimulation that they actually climax from the sheer excitement they are experiencing in their mind. It has been long said that desire is in the mind and this type of orgasm is a good example of that. Those skilled in such methods as meditation and deep mind focus are generally more skilled at achieving this type of orgasm.

What Does It Feel Like?
The sensation of this orgasm will vary from person to person, however most women indicate that this kind of orgasm is felt in the genitals, primarily the clitoris and g-spot, and thus produces a similar feeling to those types of orgasms.

8. The Whole Body Orgasm
This orgasm can be brought about by stimulation to any body part including the mind. In fact, many eastern cultures have long practiced whole body orgasms through techniques varying from karma sutra positions to meditation. It is most often achieved with overcoming inhibitions and completely surrendering oneself to the sexual experience. A technique that is found helpful in reaching this type of orgasm is using the breath as a tool. Breathing in short, sexually heighten breaths create a sense of euphoria and allows for the body to experience increased sensitivity.

What Does It Feel Like?
It is felt in waves throughout the entire body and a rush of vibrations tingle within and throughout the body. Many describe feeling almost transported to a spiritual place in which they are experience pure bliss.
