Orgasms: Answers to questions you've always wanted to ask

What is an Orgasm?

An orgasm is often defined as the peak of sexual pleasure. While it may lead to or accompany ejaculation in men, this is not a steadfast rule. For women, an orgasm causes vaginal and uterine contractions with a wash of pleasure. Although the sensations that result from an orgasm may vary from person to person, it generally refers to the maximum level of pleasure achieved during sexual contact.

What is a Pleasure Orgasm?

If you are so fortunate, you may be able to reach orgasm without any direct stimulation. Aptly called a pressure orgasm, this occurs when pressure is place on the clitoris, such as when bike riding. If you have ever received sexual gratification by pushing up against a person or object, you have likely experienced a pressure orgasm.

Direct Stimulation

Direct stimulation is the most common source of orgasm for both men and women. Direct stimulation may occur either through the clitoris or vagina for women, or possibly even a combination of the two. In men, a direct stimulation orgasm may be achieved through simple contact with the penis, such as stroking, or by using an up-and-down motion.

What is a G-spot Orgasm?

Both sexes are capable of experiencing g-spot orgasms. In women, the g-spot is found on the top wall of the vagina, at least a few inches inward. Without the assistance of a specially-designed vibrator, most women require the assistance of a partner in order to achieve this type of orgasm. Similarly, because a man’s g-spot is located just slightly inside his anus, the process is definitely made easier with a partner’s help.

With both sexes capable of experiencing a multitude of orgasms, it may surprise you to learn that many individuals are guilty of portraying fake orgasms. Women are particularly susceptible to the act of faking orgasms, for several reasons. You may stage an orgasm if you are ready for the sexual contact to stop. Maybe you’ve had a long day and you’re tired, or you and your partner spent the day fighting and you’re still feeling angry or upset. Men, too, can fake an orgasm (although it’s less common), but this can be difficult without the use of a condom.

Difficulty experiencing an Orgasm

Sometimes you may have difficulty experiencing an orgasm even though you’ve never had any problems in the past. This is usually the result of outside factors, such as work-related stress, an argument about money, or concerns that one of your children will hear you. If you suspect that your emotions are getting the better of you during intimate moments, talk to your partner, a friend, or a professional, to resolve the issue and encourage the return of your former sex life.
