4 Facts About Orgasms Every Woman Should Know: A Sex Therapist’s Opinion

Do you want to receive reliable information? Here are four orgasm facts you should know, according to sex therapist Holly Richmond.

“I can’t even list them all because new ones are opening every day,” says Holly. According to her, women can experience an orgasm from a variety of things – from nipple stimulation to strength training and sexual fantasies. For a long time we talked about the female orgasm around the G-spot, but now we know for sure that there are countless ways to enjoy pleasure.

As Dr. Richmond explains, most women experience orgasms not from penetration, but from clitoral stimulation. There is nothing surprising in this – in this organ there are more than 10,000 nerve fibers – twice as many as in the head of the penis. “If you want to have fun, then choose positions that allow you or your partner to touch the clitoris, and use toys designed for that,” advises Holly.

Alas, in the modern world it is very difficult to abandon unrealistic standards of female beauty. They affect all aspects of our lives: in particular, studies have shown that self-confidence and body acceptance are closely linked to libido and the ability to have an orgasm. “It is very difficult to immerse yourself in the moment if during sex you are constantly thinking about your appearance. But remember: most often a man is happy to be in bed with a naked woman, not not compare her at that time to others and just admire her body,” says Holly.

There is a term “orgasm gap”: according to statistics, women have less often orgasms than men. As Dr. Richmond explains, it’s because we live in a culture where penetrative sex is considered the most important part of sex. However, this attitude towards penetration is a big mistake (see points 1 and 2). Holly advises spending more time on foreplay – for most women this is the key to orgasm and should therefore be a priority.
