We need to talk about orgasms, because: it is National Orgasm Day. Then you know what to wish your colleague later, between those sandwiches at the lunch table. Did you know that only 40 to 60 percent of us women masturbate, while you actually have the best chance of an orgasm with solo sex ? Correction: a multiple orgasm? We have seven quite interesting facts about orgasming, hold on tight.

1. Wearing heels can influence whether or not you easily achieve orgasms. The heel causes a tilt of the pelvis, which makes your pelvic floor shrink so much that you sometimes hardly have the ‘margin’ left for further shrinking to achieve an orgasm. Sounds complicated, the answer is simple: sneakers.

2. So you can have a nipple orgasm and you don't need the clitoris for a second.

3. In doggy style, the risk of an orgasm is greater than in other positions. And if you have sex as a woman with a woman, that significantly increases the average number of orgasms per sexual encounter.

4. Producing good sound makes an orgasm better; it has everything to do with tantra.

5. An orgasm helps against menstrual cramps and improves the muscles in your pelvic floor. You actually also exercised. Win-win.

6. They say that your orgasms get better as you get older. Hip hip hooray.

7. Having orgasms makes you more creative, and more creative women have more intense orgasms. And that makes you even more creative. What a good circle this is.

Have a nice orgasm everyone, here's another tip to make it extra explosive.
