Let's settle this once and for all: All orgasms are clitoral orgasms. Surprised? Here's why this sexual health fact changes everything you thought you knew about female pleasure.
The Big Reveal: There's Only One Type of Orgasm
Modern science shows that every orgasm originates from the clitoris—whether you're stimulating it externally or internally. Here's the breakdown:
- External clitoral orgasms: Direct stimulation of the visible part (the glans).
- "Vaginal" orgasms: Actually come from the internal clitoral structure (which wraps around the vaginal wall).
- Blended orgasms: Double the fun by hitting both areas simultaneously.
Myth busted: The much-debated "G-spot"? Just another part of the clitoral network.
Why Orgasms Feel Different
While they all stem from the same source, how you stimulate the clitoris changes the experience:
| Type | How It Feels | Best Stimulation |
|---|---|---|
| External Clitoral | Sharp, intense, fast | Fingers, vibrators, oral |
| Internal ("Vaginal") | Deep, full-body waves | G-spot toys, curved dildos |
| Blended | "Best of both" explosion | Penetration + clit play |
Key fact: Only 18-30% of women orgasm from penetration alone. And that's normal.
How to Maximize Every Type of Orgasm
1. For External Clitoral Os
- Use the hood: Pull it back for direct stimulation or leave it covered for gentler pressure.
- Try suction toys: Mimics oral sex perfectly (Womanizer, anyone?).
- Pro tip: Apply lube to reduce friction.
2. For Internal ("Vaginal") Os
- Target the upper wall: Insert fingers/toys and curl upward (think "come here" motion).
- Go for firm pressure: The internal clitoris responds to deep, rhythmic touch.
- Best positions: Doggy style, prone bone, or anything that angles penetration upward.
3. For Blended Os (The Holy Grail)
- Dual-action toys: Like the Pillow Talk Sassy (G-spot + clit vibes).
- Partner hack: Have them use fingers on your clit during penetration.
- Solo move: Grind on a vibrator while penetrating with a dildo.
Why This Matters
- No more "faking it": If penetration alone doesn't do it for you, you're in the majority.
- Better sex: Focus on what actually works (spoiler: clit play always wins).
- Less pressure: Ditch the "vaginal orgasm" myth—pleasure is personal.
FAQ: No Stupid Questions
❓ "Can I train myself to have vaginal orgasms?"
- Maybe! Some women learn to orgasm from penetration as they explore their bodies. But don't stress if it doesn't happen.
❓ "Why do blended orgasms feel so intense?"
- More nerve endings = more signals to the brain. Simple math!
❓ "I’ve never orgasmed—what now?"
- Start solo: 85% of women who orgasm regularly learned how by themselves first.
TL;DR:
- All orgasms are clitoral. The "vaginal" kind just comes from the internal part.
- Blended = best. Combine penetration + clit play for next-level Os.
- No shame in needing clit stimulation. Most women do.
Final thought: The only "right" way to orgasm is the way that feels good to you.
