Clitoral orgasms may be the best-known way to cross the finish line, but they’re certainly not your only option. You can also have a vaginal orgasm, a blended orgasm, or multiple orgasms.
2. Nipplegasms Are Real-Seriously
Giving the girls some love could give you a seriously awesome orgasm-no other stimulation required.
3. Foreplay Isn’t Optional As Far As Your Orgasm Is Concerned
The more kissing and caressing you do, the more your blood flow increases, which makes you extra-sensitive. It takes 10-20 minutes of stimulation for the average woman to reach her peak.
4. Oral Is One of the Best Ways to Get Off
Most women find it hard to finish from vaginal sex alone since it’s not great at stimulating your super-sensitive clitoris, says sexologist Leanna Wolfe, Ph.D. Oral sex fixes that problem.

9. You Can Think Your Way to a Happy Ending

10. Making Noise Makes Your Orgasm Better
Turns out, controlling the volume on your sex sounds could be the key to an awesome O. In tantric sex, making high-pitched noises brings sexual energy to your chest, throat, and head, while low-pitched noises bring them down to… well, down there.
11. Most Women Have Faked It
Studies show that 60 percent of women have given an Oscar-worthy performance in bed (but 59 percent of guys think they can spot a faker, interestingly).
12. Coupled-Up Women Have More Orgasms
Women in relationships tend to climax a higher percentage of the time during sex than women who are just hooking up, according to research. Don’t let the “orgasm gap” hold you back.
13. Anxiety Can Keep You From Crossing the Finish Line
Super-stressed women have lower levels of physical arousal than women with normal stress levels, according to research.
14. Bummer Alert: Some Women Actually CAN’T Orgasm
