Female Orgasm

Overview
Orgasm is the point at which all sexual tension is suddenly released in a series of involuntary and pleasurable muscular contractions that may be felt in the vagina and/or uterus (although some women experience orgasms without contractions). Orgasm is reached through copulation or masturbation.

During orgasm the body stiffens and the muscles contract. Involuntary muscle contractions and spasms may occur in various parts of the body, including your legs, stomach, arms, and back. The muscles of the vagina relax and contract rapidly, as do the muscles of the uterus. The glands of the vagina discharge a watery secretion, which acts to lubricate the vagina.

The main physical changes that occur during a sexual experience are a result of vasocongestion. This is the accumulation of blood in various parts of the body. Muscular tension increases and other changes occur throughout your body also.

Many women have multiple orgasms. Masters and Johnson documented this occurrence more than 25 years ago. Theories suggest that muscular contractions associated with orgasms pull sperm from the vagina to the cervix, where it's in a better position to reach the egg. Researchers believe that if a woman climaxes up until 45 minutes after her lover ejaculates, she will retain significantly more sperm than she does after non-orgasmic sex.

The difference between a "clitoral" and a "vaginal" orgasm has to do with where you are being stimulated to achieve orgasm, not where you feel the orgasm. The clitoris has a central role in elevating feelings of sexual tension. During sexual excitement, the clitoris swells and changes position. The blood vessels through the whole pelvic area also swell, causing engorgement and creating a feeling of fullness and sexual sensitivity. Your inner vaginal lips swell and change shape. Your vagina balloons upward, and your uterus shifts position in your pelvis.

For some women, the outer third of their vagina and the cervix are also very sensitive, sometimes even more sensitive than the clitoris. When the G-Spot is stimulated during intercourse or other vaginal penetration, these women do have intense orgasms. This would be what is referred to as a vaginal orgasm -- without clitoral stimulation.

Good information...its funny...some women prefer clitoral orgasms over vaginal orgasms, but my girl prefers vaginal orgasms from penetration much more.

I explain how I gave my girlfriend multiple orgasms in my blog...pass by and let me know what you think:

We all have something to learn to be better in bed, but the rewards are worth it. I have found most useful information on female orgasm from the welcomed consensus here http://www.welcomed.com/femaleorgasm/femaleorgasm.html. It's just not knowing the right stroke or formula that works for every woman, it's about her and her body and the partner feeling what to do in the moment as both people have their attention on one person's pleasure. So fun and changed mu sex life from non-existent to GREAT!

Dr. Patti Taylor, an expert on female orgasm, has a fabulous course for couples on expanded (also called extended orgasms). After completing the course and fully learning the material it is common for women to have 30 minute orgasms. There are two really important parts to this. The first is that women have to know that it is possible. The second is that men need to know the technique. I believe all married couples should know about this because women are really, really happy when they are having 30 minute orgasms on a consistent basis.
