“Orgasms are like snowflakes; no two are
alike, they’re free, they melt in your mouth, and not even the weather forecast
can predict when they’ll come.”  Cory
Silverberg. 

I counted eight different types of orgasms
last week, then immediately thought of eight more.  Here goes:

1. 
Multiple orgasms (my personal favorite): 
Yes, these are real.  Not all
women experience them, but those of us who do are grateful for them.  Some sex experts distinguish between multiple
orgasms and pleasure aftershocks, but personally I think that’s splitting
hairs.

2. 
Pressure Orgasms.  These come from
indirect stimulation and are the type of orgasm commonly experienced by young
children. (Yes, you read that right. 
Lots of kids have orgasms)   Pressure orgasms are created by rocking,
squeezing your legs together, or otherwise putting pressure on the
clitoris.  There’s no rubbing involved.

3. 
Fantasy Orgasms.  Fantasy orgasms
come from mental stimulation alone.  They’re
not very common, but they can happen. 
Usually this type of orgasm happens in combination with clitoral
stimulation, either alone or with a partner.

4. 
Sleep Orgasms.  Similar to fantasy
orgasms, sleep orgasms occur with no physical stimulation.  They happen, obviously, while you’re
sleeping.  When they happen to me the
orgasm itself wakes me out of the sleep. 
Sometimes I remember the dream that caused it, but not always.
