6 Main Myths About Female Orgasm

The female orgasm is always a bit mysterious, surrounded by many myths and unfounded conclusions. Some women feel ashamed and cannot orgasm, others think they are incapable of experiencing it, while some believe that sex isn't good unless they experience multiple orgasms. It's time to set things straight. Myths, misconceptions, and facts about our vaginal needs.

Orgasm is only for men

Let’s start with the most absurd myth. For some reason, male orgasm has been considered completely normal throughout history due to its reproductive qualities, while the female orgasm was seen as something shameful. Just because the female orgasm isn’t linked to the conception process doesn’t mean that women aren’t worthy of experiencing it. The female body is designed in such a way that, just like men, we can enjoy intimate closeness, and we certainly want to have sex and experience pleasure. It’s as simple and natural as that. A woman should not feel ashamed of her desires.

If you don’t orgasm from penetrative sex, it’s not normal

This is one of the most dangerous myths for women. Many believe that if they can’t experience a vaginal orgasm, it means something is wrong with them or their partner. In fact, most women can only experience orgasm through clitoral stimulation. When the clitoris is located close to the vagina, it’s much easier to experience orgasm during penetrative sex. If the clitoris is positioned farther away, achieving orgasm becomes harder. Research shows that only about 25% of women can experience a vaginal orgasm. The rest of the women, which is the majority, need clitoral stimulation, and that’s perfectly normal.

Multiple orgasms do not exist

Multiple orgasms are real and absolutely achievable for every woman, unlike men. Just don’t stop stimulation after the first orgasm, and after a short while, another one may follow.

The female orgasm is more intense than the male orgasm

This is tricky because, technically, we can’t truly know for sure. However, according to well-known facts, women can have multiple orgasms in a row, while men cannot. Additionally, the female orgasm usually lasts longer than the male one and is therefore considered to be more intense and pleasurable.

Masturbation decreases the chances of orgasm during sex

This myth is absolutely untrue. Masturbation, which is often considered something dirty, awkward, and shameful, is another taboo subject. All of this is the complete opposite of the facts. How can you expect someone else to please you when you don’t even know how to pleasure yourself? You can masturbate, have sex, and orgasm on the same day.

Only physical stimulation can lead to orgasm

Believe it or not, this is incorrect! There’s something called an extragenital orgasm, which can occur with a woman when no one touches her. For example, a woman can bring herself to orgasm by engaging in erotic fantasies or seeing an erotic dream.

Women’s orgasms are not as complicated as many think. It’s important to know some physiological features of women and love your body, which makes it easier to understand yourself and your desires. A good orgasm often involves knowing your body and being able to control it. Of course, a lot also depends on the man. He might be focused on achieving climax or desiring a more intense sexual connection.
