Mystery of the female orgasm

Female Orgasms – The Mystery Is Solved

Female orgasms have been shrouded in mystery and debate for centuries. Male orgasms serve a clear purpose in the reproductive process, the function of female orgasms has remained more elusive. Female orgasms are anaspect of sexual health and pleasure. Let’s delve into the science, myths, and truths behind female orgasms, explore their evolutionary origins, and discuss potential health benefits and functions.

The Science of Female Orgasms

Female orgasms are a complex interplay of physical, emotional, and hormonal factors. Unlike male orgasms, which are necessary for reproduction, women’s orgasms are not essential for conception or egg release. They do play a  role in sexual intimacy, pleasure, and well-being. Studies have shown that only 25% of women consistently experience orgasm during sexual intercourse.

The evolutionary purpose of female orgasms has long puzzled scientists. Some theories suggest that female orgasms may have once played a role in ovulation, their function in modern human reproduction remains unclear.

The Evolutionary Origins of Female Orgasms

A 2016 study by evolutionary biologists Mihaela Pavlicev and Gunter Wagner suggests that the female orgasm may have originated more than 150 million years ago in mammals as a way to release eggs for fertilization after sex. The hypothesis that female orgasms were necessary for ovulation, but evolved to have different functions in humans and other primates.

This theory suggests the hormonal surges associated with orgasms in humans, can be traced back to an ancient mechanism for egg release during sex. As women evolved to live in social groups with regular access to male partners, the female orgasm may have adapted to serve other purposes both physical and psychological.

The Anatomy of Female Orgasms

The clitoris, a highly sensitive part of the female genitalia, plays a crucial role in female orgasms. Containing approximately 8,000 nerve endings, the clitoris is twice as sensitive as the penis. During sexual arousal, blood flow to the clitoris and other genital areas increases, heightening sensitivity and pleasure.

Orgasms in women typically involve a series of muscle contractions, hormone releases, and intense sensations of pleasure. These responses can vary greatly between individuals and may be influenced by factors such as mood, level of arousal, and relationship dynamics.

What Are The Health Benefits of Female Orgasms?

Direct health benefits of female orgasms are not well-documented,  evidence suggests that they offer a range of physical and emotional advantages. These include:

  • Improved mood
  • Stress relief
  • Enhanced immunity
  • Stronger relationships and emotional bonding with partners

What Are The Hormonal Effects of Female Orgasms?

During orgasm, women release a variety of hormones, including oxytocin and prolactin. Oxytocin, also known as the “love hormone,” is associated with feelings of trust, emotional bonding, and relaxation. Prolactin, on the other hand, is involved in milk production for breastfeeding mothers and can also have a calming effect.

How Do Female Orgasms Give Pain Relief?

Female orgasms can help alleviate pain, possibly due to the release of endorphins and other neurotransmitters that act as natural painkillers. They provide temporary relief from physical discomfort, orgasms and help distract women from pain, focusing their attention on pleasurable sensations.

What Is The Role of Female Orgasms in Fertility?

Although female orgasms are not necessary for conception, there is some evidence to suggest that they may play a role in fertility. A study found that women who experienced orgasms were more likely to retain sperm in their bodies, potentially increasing the odds of conception.

The link between female orgasms and fertility is not well-established.

What Are The Stages of Female Orgasms?

There are several theories about the stages of sexual arousal and orgasm in women, but most models include the following phases:

Excitement:

Arousal builds, often accompanied by increased blood flow to the genital area and heightened sensitivity.

Plateau:

Arousal levels continue to rise but eventually level off, with some women experiencing a “pre-orgasmic” state of intense pleasure.

Orgasm:

A series of muscle contractions, hormone releases, and intense sensations of pleasure occur, marking the climax of sexual arousal.

Resolution:

Arousal levels gradually decrease, often leaving women feeling relaxed and content.

It is important to note that not all women will experience these stages in the same way or in the same order, and individual experiences of orgasm can vary greatly.

3 Ways To A Blended Orgasm

3 Ways To An Ultimate Toe-Curling Blended Orgasm

Ok, so I admit, I’m a lazy and impatient masturbator. Which to the male half of the population probably doesn’t make much sense. We put such emphasis on making sure that men take their time with us ladies, making sure that we’re well looked after during foreplay and sex.

But the truth is that sometimes we don’t have the time or the energy to spend an hour just lying around playing with ourselves.

Up until a few months ago, when I joined the Adult Lifestyle Centre family, I had always just bought cheap battery operated toys. I was completely oblivious to the fact that there were different styles of vibrations. Different types of stimulation and to a certain extent, different areas to stimulate.

I learned how the shape and size of the adult toy affected it efficacy.

I have always been fascinated by the elusive G-spot and A-spot. Howeverthe effort it takes to achieve and orgasm through either has always been a turn-off. Like I said, I’m lazy… and sometimes time-poor. This is my lazy G-spot orgasm guide.

What the hell are the G-Spot and A-Spot I hear you ask?

Although there is much debate over whether either or both of these exist, I am by no means a health professional or sex expert. But I can say with some certainty, that there are some areas in the vagina that are more sensitive than others and produce. For me at least, longer and stronger orgasms.  G-spot stimulation can cause female ejaculation.

The G-spot is located about 5cm inside the vaginal opening, on the front wall. It is a small spongy area that is slightly raised and rougher than the surrounding tissue. The A-spot or the anterior fornix is an area deep in the vagina, just above the cervix.

Fun Fact: Dr Chua Chee Ann’s study found that stimulating the A-spot for at least 10 minutes a day. This will help you achieve regular orgasms and vaginal lubrication, even without foreplay.

So, it was such a surprise to me that there were products out there that make achieving G-spot and A-spot orgasms less like work and more like fun! So here are my picks for the best ‘out of the ordinary’ toys that can make stimulating your A-spot and G-spot easier –

Satisfyer Pro G-Spot Rabbit And Vibration

What can I say?

This little beauty hits all of the right spots. To be honest, I was not a fan of the Satisfyer Pro 2. Personally, I thought it was a little boring. Not the G-Spot Rabbit! She is part of the Satisfyer Pro 2 range. Combining both a vibrating shaft with a flattened end for G-spot stimulation. The added air pulse technology for clitoral stimulation to provide you with toe-curling blended orgasms.

Controls are easy to use, with the outer rose gold ring used to control the vibration. The inner white panel is used to control the air pulse function. A quick 4 second hold on the bottom of the outer ring will turn your vibration on, same again, will turn it off. While you only need to hold in the bottom part of the inner button for 2 seconds to turn the air pulse on and off.

A little water based lube, like Intimate Earth’s Hydra Natural Glide, on the shaft and around the rim of the nozzle. This can make the feel of the silicone smoother, and heighten your overall experience.

Technical stuff

  • 3 continuous vibration intensities and 7 pattern vibrations.
  • 11 pulse intensities (In my opinion settings 5 and above should be classed as atomic).
  • Vibration and pulse can be used together or on their own.
  • Completely submersible, so feel free to supercharge the sensations in the bath. It also makes cleaning a breeze. Even inside the nozzle can be cleaned using a cotton bud.
  • Magnetic USB rechargeable anywhere in the world. Although she takes around 3 hours to fully charge from flat, you get around 2 hours of use from that full charge!

We-Vibe Nova

Another goodie for producing mind-numbing blended orgasms. With Nova’s 8cm maximum insertable tapered shaft length and flexible clitoral arm. She sits comfortably either pressed against the G-spot or nestled further in against the A-spot. The wide flat side and gently rounded tip are perfect for either broad or pinpoint stimulation.

Once you master the controls, it’s as easy as ABC. A 5 second press in the middle if the control panel will get things started. You can then use the left/right buttons to change the vibration patterns and the plus/minus buttons to increase or decrease the intensity.

Use a little of Pjur’s Aqua Water Based Lubricant on the shaft and clitoral stimulator arm to maximise the glide of Nova’s body safe, phthalate free silicone cover.
