Orgasms 101
AdShooter / Canva Pro Last week I was doing some research on orgasms. I was stunned to find that most of my search results came up with two types of female orgasms. Most results referred to either clitoral or vaginal orgasms. Those are certainly two types, but there are many more. I’ve counted eight orgasms that directly relate to parts of the female anatomy:
1. Clitoral orgasms are the most common type women experience. I’ve been having clitoral orgasms since fifth grade, but I’ll spare you the details. They’re created by intense and direct stimulation of the clitoris. One great thing about clitoral orgasms is that you can have them just about anywhere, with or without a partner.
2. Vaginal orgasms, as far as my internet research uncovered, really meant g-spot orgasms. The g-spot is a sensitive area of ribbed tissue on the front side of the vagina, generally 2-3 inches inside the vaginal opening. It is the inside end of the clitoris. If you think of the clitoris as one end of a barbell, the g-spot is the other end. They’re connected by a bundle of nerves and either end of the bundle is an incredibly sensitive erotic spot.
3. There is another vaginal spot that can trigger an orgasm. It’s not well known, but from personal research I can tell you that it’s not a myth. It’s the anterior fornix erogenous zone, or AFE spot, and it’s located on the front wall of the vagina just below the cervix.

4. Cervical orgasms are the fourth type. These are very rare; usually a woman’s cervix is too tender for touch to feel good. But when sexual healing has occurred both physically and emotionally, a cervical orgasm can happen. They are quite intense and pleasurable.
5. Then there’s the nipple orgasm. This is an orgasm available from any erogenous zone being stimulated. Nipples are the most common spot, but they’re not the only one. Basically, with enough stimulation any of these erogenous zones will create a welling up and release of energy known as an orgasm.
6. Anal orgasms occur when the inside of the anus is stimulated. In men, that affects the prostate, which is like the female g-spot. In women, I don’t really know what causes it because I’ve never experienced one, but I’ll guess it’s like the nipple orgasm.
7. Oral orgasms occur when you eat something that is so outrageously delicious that you moan and groan like Helen Hunt in “When Harry Met Sally,” only you really mean it. For me, it happens when I eat a good flourless chocolate cake.
8. The eighth and final type is called a fake orgasm… these I would not recommend. J I admit to faking an orgasm when I first met my partner. He caught me, and I’ll never bother doing that again. Women can have lots of fun during sex, with or without an orgasm. Just be real!
