How many types of orgasms a female can have?

If you spent all this time believing that there was only one type of female orgasm, boy, were you wrong…

The female orgasm is still a mystery which is why there’s no clear-cut answer on how many types of orgasms women can have. Depending on who you ask, the answer may differ, but researchers believe there are up to 12 different types. That’s because women have the ability to climax through different kinds of stimulation. Some can even climax in response to parts of the body that are not usually considered erogenous being stimulated.

So while it’s good news that there are many ways to make women come, it also means that is not as simple as just bringing a D and smashing the p***y like most people think.

Why do females orgasm?

Male orgasm’s evolutionary purpose is pretty clear: men must ejaculate in order to release sperm, so pleasure and ejaculation are directly linked. However, the purpose of the female orgasm is not so evident.

Though researchers have suggested numerous theories, none of them have had conclusive scientific support. In fact, we must keep in mind that not everything the body does has a clear purpose. There are some traits with no evolutionary benefits that have persisted in humans.

Backed by a study the carried out in 2016, Trusted Source could shed some light on why females orgasm. What they found out is that the female orgasm might not have any obvious evolutionary benefit and that it may just be a relic from a different time when hormones related to orgasm were needed for women to ovulate. Since there wasn’t any evolutionary need to eliminate it, the female orgasm persisted even if it was no longer needed for fertility.

But causing pleasure alone already seems like an important enough benefit, if you ask me. Moreover, orgasm promotes bonding with your sexual partner, which does serve important evolutionary benefits.

Types of female orgasms

Even though there are more according to some researchers, here are the most common types of female orgasms that most researchers agree on.

Clitoral

This is the most common one, and it’s very similar to the orgasm a man has, since the penis and the clitoris are similar in their structure and function. This kind of female orgasm can be given with the fingers or orally.

What’s great about the clitoris is that it has about a whopping 8,000 nerve endings, which is 2,000 more than the penis’ tip. Basically, it’s an organ purely designed for pleasure.

G-spot

The G-spot orgasm is a little bit further up. On the G-spot, to be precise (duh), which is located about 2 inches into the vagina. You know you hit it when you feel a spongy texture. The best way to achieve this type of orgasm is stimulating the G-spot with circular friction movements or rhythmic tapping.

Vaginal

The vaginal orgasms starts in the vagina and can spread from there or just stay focused in the pelvic area. It’s achieved with rhythmic thrusting combined with different positions for a deeper vibe. Interestingly, a lot of women describe the vaginal orgasm as less intense than the clitoral one.

Squirting

This one is an entirely different type of orgasm experience and according to those who’ve experienced it, a pretty intense one too.

It releases a substance that has a combination of urine and other substances (no, it’s not pee, just squirt).

Anal

Backdoor orgasm can be profound, and a lot of women experience it during anal sex.

The research on the types of orgasms females can experience is still ongoing, but what’s clear already, is that there’s already a wide breath of them. That’s why when you engage with a woman, understanding the different parts, how they work and how they flow, is something that you might want to look into.
