It is a well known fact that a lot of women find it difficult to achieve orgasm, in fact research suggests that as much as 10% of all women of sexual maturity age have never had an orgasm.

Orgasms feel great! Everyone is entitled to them, the more regularly the better in our opinion! They are relaxing, have proven health benefits, keep you happy and can be the cause of much fun and erotic delight when enjoyed as part of a couple by either mutual masturbation or during normal sexual intercourse.

If you are having difficulty reaching orgasm, you may have read a lot of material on making sure you’re relaxed, lighting candles, using aromas to evoke erotic ambience and low level mood lighting, plus a lot more bedroom or bathroom setting advice.

However, what is often missed is that there are different types of orgasms, and each woman may have her own favourite specific type of stimulation. Let us go through the different types of stimulation that will hopefully lead you on the path to guaranteed pleasure each time!

• Clitoral – The hub of a female’s sexual nerve endings, the clitoris can be stimulated either by rubbing with fingers, tongue (your partner’s!) or toys, using your choice of lubricant. Many women depend on their trusty Rabbit vibrator or bullet, both of which are amazing tools to use when climaxing clitorally (and vaginally if you use a Rabbit).

• Penetration/Vaginal – Many women find it more difficult to orgasm through penetrative sex alone, so why not practice with your favourite vibrator or dildo. Using different materials such as glass or wood really adds extra intense stimulation, or why not try some temperature play to get those nerves tingling! Whether you’re petite or want to be completely filled with something girthy, there is a toy to satisfy your every part.

• G-Spot – Yes, the g-spot does exist! This collection of nerve endings on a raised area inside the vagina responds amazingly well to stimulation. The preferred method is to stimulate with either fingers during masturbation (by yourself or a partner) or use a specially angled dildo to do the trick for you with ease. Want added vibration? There is a wealth of g-spot vibrators specifically for you!

• Anal – A lesser known way to orgasm, some women love to peak during anal sex or stimulation. If you are a newbie try out our smaller ranges of plugs and vibes, then gradually move to the larger butt plugs and/or dildos and vibrators to get your satisfaction.

Knowing that there are different types of orgasms should help to make clear in your mind which one you are aiming for, rather than a general feeling of attempting to reach that climax without proper direction. Once your body is being stimulated in the right way, you can let your mind wander as well as your fingers and the fun can begin!
