10 unnecessary ridiculous facts about firework down under: the orgasm

‘Cause baby you’re a fiiiiirework. Come on show ‘em what you’re worth. Make ‘em go oooh, oh, oh! As you shoot across the sky-y-y yy.’ A little bit of hanging out in the lights. New Year's Eve in your underpants. It's actually quite a funny thing, that climax, right? 10 things you might not have known about orgasming. 

1. Research shows: only 11 percent of one night stands end in an orgasm. Wow. Disappointing, huh!

2. It’s true: your orgasm gets better every year. Maybe I don’t want to think about this, but the older you are, the faster you orgasm. Especially seniors can get fireworks in no time. Uh… Hahaha.

3. It’s not a myth: nipple orgasms exist. Here’s how it works: when your nipples get stimulated, the substance oxytocin is released, which can lead to contractions of your vaginal muscles. Blood flow to your genitals is then stimulated, and for some women, this can trigger an orgasm.

4. Orgasms can cause bad breath. Blugh. According to Theodoor Hendrik van de Velde, once a Dutch gynecologist, you can still smell a hint of sperm in a woman's breath an hour after ‘the deed’. Eww.

5. At the beginning of the twentieth century, doctors recommended orgasms to increase fertility.

6. A study from Indiana University’s Center for Sexual Health Promotion shows that 50 percent of men and women find it easier to orgasm when using lubricant.

7. Sorry hetero ladies, but lesbians cross the finish line the fastest. A study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine that examined the relationship between sexual orientation and orgasms suggests that heterosexual women orgasm 61.6 percent of the time, while homosexual women would orgasm 74.7 percent of the time.

8. Semen contains few calories, 36 in a teaspoon to be exact. If you’ve always wondered about this.

9. 60 percent of women have faked an orgasm. #oeps

10. A foreplay of at least 10 to 20 minutes significantly increases the chance of an orgasm for women. Yes, you read that right: AT LEAST 10 to 20 minutes.

Nice, uh, Sunday, huh.
