What Happens When a Female Climaxes?

...a woman will experience an increased heart rate, hardened nipples, heavier breathing patterns, swollen clitoris, and increased vaginal lubrication.

The female orgasm is an intense and pleasurable experience. Whether through self-gratification such as masturbation or during any sexual encounter with a partner, the orgasm stimulates a range of emotional and physical responses.

Let's look at each phase of the female orgasm from start to finish.

Phase 1: Arousal

Before the orgasm takes place, women will enter into a state of arousal. During this phase, a woman will experience an increased heart rate, hardened nipples, heavier breathing patterns, swollen clitoris, and increased vaginal lubrication.

Phase 2: Orgasm

When a female climaxes, her body releases a combination of oxytocin and dopamine hormones, giving her a full-body rush of pleasurable sensations.

Simultaneously, her pelvic floor muscles contract rhythmically to move blood away from the clitoris.

Phase 3: Resolution

Following the orgasm, the woman will experience a resolution phase. Thanks to the oxytocin hormone, this phase is usually quite relaxing and blissful, lasting up to 1-2 minutes until the body returns to normal. After clitoral orgasms, the woman will often experience increased sensitivity in this region.

Most Common Types of Female Orgasms

…the vulva orgasm, a vaginally-stimulated orgasm involves penetration into the vagina using a penis, finger, or sex toy.

What's most interesting about the female orgasm is that it can take on many different forms. From clitoral stimulation to vaginal sex with g-spot stimulation, several pathways exist to reach an orgasm!

Here are the most common types:

Clitoral Orgasm

  • This method of orgasm is performed by external stimulation of the clitoris during oral sex, manual play, or masturbation. Like the male orgasm, the clitoris becomes erect and swollen during the arousal phase of sexual play, causing it to become increasingly sensitive until the abrupt sensation of orgasm.

Vaginal Orgasm

  • Also known as the vulva orgasm, a vaginally-stimulated orgasm involves penetration into the vagina using a penis, finger, or sex toy. This type of orgasm is usually described as "deeper" and more intense due to g-spot stimulation.

Blended Orgasm

  • This type of orgasm occurs through simultaneous clitoral and vaginal stimulation causing an intense release of pleasure. Often, this can be done with the penis and fingers, fingers and tongue, or using a dual-action sex toy.

Anal orgasm

  • The "forbidden" anal orgasm is another incredible experience for women. With penetration, the nerves surrounding the anal tissue carry sensations to the vagina, vulva, and clitoris to help women reach orgasm.

Erogenous Zone Orgasm

  • Aside from the most common female erogenous zones, such as the g-spot, clitoris, and anus, women can also experience an orgasm through several other places around her body. Some lesser-known sensory pathways for orgasmic pleasure include the breasts, ears, lower stomach, neck, and feet.

5 Best Techniques and Tips to Help Her Climax

The Coital Alignment Technique, better known as the CAT position, is a popular variation of the missionary position with increased attention on clitoral stimulation during intercourse.

Though a woman may be more or less capable of certain types of orgasms, engaging in a broader range of sexual exploration can help her discover different styles that she may never have thought were possible.

Here are our 5 best techniques and tips to help your girl orgasm in minutes.

1. Prioritize foreplay for longer

Unlike men, women need to be warmed up properly before they can achieve an orgasm. Foreplay is not only helpful, but it's an essential part of a woman's sexual pleasure.

Considering that oxytocin plays such a significant role in the actual orgasm itself, there is research that helps explain its benefits for the 'warm-up' phase leading up to the orgasm.

Experts have found that releasing oxytocin during different types of foreplay activities, such as cuddling, kissing, massaging, and oral sex, can help enhance the intensity of an orgasm.

Sexologist and relationship coach Dr. Jennifer Gunsaullus explains that it generally takes most women up to 20 minutes for their vaginal tissues to be fully lubricated.

Foreplay can help to prepare the female body for sex by boosting arousal, increasing blood flow to the erogenous zones, and triggering natural vaginal lubrication.

2. Use delay spray to help you last longer

When it comes to vaginal orgasms during intercourse, a woman's orgasm relies on her partner to last as long as she needs. Unfortunately, this may be easier said than done for some men.

One in three men experiences premature ejaculation at some point in their lives. Since women require more extended sexual pleasure, it can become complex and sometimes even impossible to achieve orgasm through penile-vaginal intercourse.

To help you thoroughly pleasure your female partner, we recommend Steady Freddy Delay Spray.

Created to help treat premature ejaculation, this desensitizing spray helps temporarily numb the nerve endings in the erectile tissue surrounding the most sensitive areas of the penis. After a few seconds, delay spray can help increase ejaculatory control during sex.

3. Try new sex positions that are better for her

Sex positions are abundant that help heighten stimulation, maximize pleasure, and lead to more orgasms.

Here are some of the best sexual positions for her:

Coital Alignment Technique

The Coital Alignment Technique, better known as the CAT position, is a popular variation of the missionary position with increased attention on clitoral stimulation during intercourse.

According to research, 87.5% of women consider vaginal sex more pleasurable when using 'angling' (i.e. raising, rotating, or lowering the pelvis during penetration) to help increase stimulation. CAT uses this angling technique by focusing less on thrusting and more on slow grinding using up and down motions.

To achieve perfect alignment, vulva owners should lay their backs underneath their partners, pushing their hips up high. Once the penis is inside, you'll want to minimize the space between your genitals to create more friction. Next, begin rocking up and down to stimulate slight vaginal penetration with maximum clitoral stimulation.

Spooning

Spooning is another great position to emphasize female pleasure. As you lay on your side, the male partner will angle his penis upward to enter her vagina.

Though the penetration can feel amazing from this angle, you can also enhance her arousal by using a hand or sex toy to stimulate her clitoris, nipples, or any other erogenous zone.

Doggy Style

Doggy style is a popular sex position that most women thoroughly enjoy. Like spooning, doggy is a type of rear entry where the receiving partner is on their hands and knees, facing away from the giving partner.

This position is excellent for achieving deeper penetration during sex and can frequently help stimulate g-spot orgasms. For optimal pleasure, get her to lean her upper body down using a prop to elevate her hips.

4. Use sex toys and lube for her pleasure

Often, women's experiences during sex can be amplified 10-fold by having some toys and a little lube handy at your bedside table.

For most women, clitoral stimulation is the most common method of orgasm. A great way to explore new sexual activities with your partner is to use a vibrator on her during intercourse. This dual-stimulating experience can heighten her arousal and make her orgasm much quicker than vaginal penetration alone.

Lube is another must-have in the bedroom. Although women tend to lubricate themselves as they become aroused naturally, this may not be enough to help them feel amazing during intercourse.

Lube is an excellent way to minimize friction during intercourse (especially during anal sex), enhance sexual pleasure with external stimulation, and increase a woman's likelihood of reaching orgasm!

5. Explore her sexual fantasies

Sexual fantasies are a natural and healthy way to explore ourselves, our desires, and perhaps our sexuality. Bringing our erotic thoughts and fantasies to life can increase our mental and physical arousal and help us reach orgasm easier.

A study exploring the relationship between fantasies and female pleasure found that women who fantasize more frequently have more orgasms during sexual intercourse with their partners.

Rather than attempting to read her mind, ask your partner if they have any fantasies they want to explore with you. Whether she is interested in role-playing, power and control, rough sex, or other types of kinky sex, you can use these ideas to help create sexual tension, boost arousal, and help her achieve maximum pleasure during orgasm.
