Surprising Facts About Women's Orgasms You Had No Idea About

A feeling that one might never want to let go at the cost of anything; a feeling that transports you to another world: the orgasm.

While sex is the topic that intrigues us, how much do you really know about orgasms or women's orgasms, for that matter? Orgasms are just as important to a woman's health as using dental floss is.

Let's dive in and read up on some facts about the female orgasm that we bet you had no idea about before:

1. The distance between a woman¡¯s clitoris and her vaginal opening is connected with her prospect of orgasm during vaginal intercourse. The smaller the distance, the more likely she is to reach orgasm.

2. Around 50-75 per cent of women who have orgasms need to have their clitoris touched i.e clitoral stimulation. Most women are unable to have an orgasm through intercourse alone.

3. Most women are capable or having more than one orgasm in a row. The most orgasms documented in one hour are 134 for a woman and just 16 for a man.

4. Some women can orgasm in their sleep. Alfred Kinsey¡¯s research revealed that 37 per cent of the women he surveyed had at least one orgasm in their sleep before.

5. Not all orgasms are intense. Women can have gentle ones and not know it that they had them.

6. 'Nipplegasms' are a thing too. Some women experience orgasm from nipple stimulation alone. It is studied that it activates the same region of the brain as stimulation of the clitoris and vagina.
