How many types of orgasm can you name?

There are female orgasms and male orgasms, some that are experienced by only one of the sexes and others that both can enjoy.

Our bodies have many erogenous zones that can easily be missed but once you identify our or your partner’s hot spots, orgasmic possibilities await. 

The clitoris is a woman’s most sensitive zone, with more than 7000 sensory nerve endings, a higher concentration than any other part of the body.

A wide range of clitoral vibrators are designed to encourage orgasms in this pea-sized nub at the top of the vulva. (This external part is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, but more on that later.)

Try bullet vibrators, experimenting with the tip for precise stimulation or the flat edges for boarder coverage. You can also try finger vibrators, which often feature textured surfaces for another dimension of sensation.

The g-spot – named after gynaecologist Ernst Grafenberg – is one of most elusive but famous women’s pleasure zones.

It’s said to be located about two to three inches inside the front wall of the vagina. However, some have argued that it doesn’t really exist in an anatomic sense at all.

Instead, pressure applied to aroused parts of the clitoris deep beneath the surface (the submerged part of the iceberg), give rise to g-spot orgasms.

G-spot vibrators are carefully designed to stimulate this area with a curved shaft and bulbous tip.

They can have additional functions, such as a 'come hither' motion, thrusting or rotation, for maximum g-spot stimulation.

TIP: Rabbit vibrators encourage blended, clitoral and g-spot orgasms, thanks to an insertable shaft and external stimulator! 

Here, we’re referring to the general type of orgasm that many men experience during sex or masturbation.

There’s usually contraction and pulsing in intimate areas building up to intense, tightening and tingling sensation.

Masturbators and strokers can enhance the experience with pleasurable new sensations once they are penetrated, including stimulating textures, vibration, rotation, sucking and more!

To supercharge the session, try using a masturbator with a cock ring worn around the base of the shaft.

Cock rings restrict blood flow out of the penis for harder, longer lasting erections. Vibrating and textured cock rings can also be worn during partner sex for mutual stimulation. 

Think of the p-spot as men’s equivalent to the g-spot.

The ‘p’ refers to the prostate, a walnut-sized gland between the bladder and penis and in front of the rectum. It helps produce some of the fluid in semen that carries sperm from the testicles during ejaculation.

P-spot orgasms are often described as a full-body orgasm, creating a tingly sensation all over rather than the isolated, direct pleasure achieved from a regular orgasm through penetration or masturbation.

To hit the p-spot externally, apply pressure to the perineum – the area between the anus and scrotum.

But to really maximise pleasure, have a partner lubricate their finger, and place it about two inches inside your butt. Once there, apply some pressure and gentle thrusting.

Better yet, remove the guesswork or enjoy solo play with specially designed prostate massagers, curved to hit the spot precisely. Many also feature textured areas to stimulate your perineum too!   

Yes, we’re talking butts.

Booty-gasms can be achieved by stimulating sensitive nerves in the anus via penetration, with a finger, penis or specially designed anal toy such as anal beads, butt plugs or prostate massagers.

Whichever anal toy you choose, look for a flared base, secure handle or retrieval ring to prevent it from getting sucked inside you.

Before anal play, you might want to use the bathroom, perform an easy clean of the entry zone with soap and water or a deeper clean with an enema or douche.

Insert your toy when your anal muscles are relaxed, using plenty of toy-compatible anal lubricant on the toy and/or inside your butt. (Remember, your anus does not have any natural lubrication, so you’ll want to reduce friction.) Lubricant launchers make it easy to inject lube precisely where you need it inside of you.  

Nipples are sensitive areas for many men and women, and stimulating them with suction, pinching, squeezing or vibration can make nipples super-sensitive in a way that is both pleasurable and painful.

Nipple stimulators such as suckers and vibrators are good beginner's options while clips, clamps and weighted varieties deliver more intense sensations. For a luxe touch, look out for feather and jewel accents. 

While some erogenous zones are common across individuals, we are unique and have our own preferences. Feel comfortable exploring your sexual needs and desires safely, alone or with someone you trust, to find what makes you happy, really happy.
