10 unnecessary ridiculous facts about the orgasm

Let’s talk about sex, baby. Let’s talk about you and me. Let’s talk about allllll the good things (the bad things aren’t there anyway?) of the wonderful world of the female orgasm. Did you know this?

1. What is orgasm actually? The nerve endings in the genitals (just so you know: there are 8000 in the clitoris) send signals to the brain. More and more blood flows to the sex organs, making them increasingly sensitive. Your vajayjay continuously sends signals to the brain. The more pleasurable it is, the more blood flows south and the closer the big release comes. And then: it’s firework baby.

2. Your heart beats up to 100 extra beats per minute during an orgasm.

3. It turns out that the average woman takes twenty minutes to reach a climax. Men, on the other hand, are generally done after seven minutes. Female pleasure lasts about fifteen seconds. For men, it’s only four seconds.

4. After a workout is the perfect timing for fireworks down under. Not only is the blood flow to your genitals higher after your workout, but your testosterone level has also received a boost.

5. Yep, 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. The blood flow to your genitals is then stimulated, and for some women, this can induce an orgasm.

6. Women who sleep on their stomachs with their arms above their heads are more likely to orgasm during their sleep.

7. Lady Gaga once claimed in an interview that she can orgasm by thinking about a sexual climax.

8. Painful but true: a stabbing pain when you orgasm, it exists. There’s even a name for it: dysorgasmia. This can occur, for example, due to a sexual trauma.

9. A study published in the Journal of Sex Research shows that you feel less pain during sex. Spanking and hair pulling may seem pleasant in the bedroom, but on a random bank night, it would feel very different.

10. Sexual encounters between women who have sex with women most often end in an orgasm, according to research. Heterosexual women orgasm 61.6 percent of the time during sexual encounters, while for homosexual women, that percentage is 74.7 percent.
