Can You Have Multiple Orgasms?
Having multiple orgasms is like mastering any skill. You have to put in a certain amount of hours before you can finally achieve it. But once you are aware of the techniques to use for multiple orgasms, you will find it becomes an easy and enjoyable way to keep your sex sessions going, and going, and going.
It’s worth mentioning that it’s a lot easier for women to have multiple orgasms than men. According to a survey of German women, 18.9% of women report having experienced multiple orgasms2 while a US-based survey suggests that under 10% of men in their 20s and under 7% of men in their 30s are multiorgasmic3. This is, generally speaking, due to the fact that, as most men ejaculate during sex, they have a refractory period, varying between a few minutes to even a few days, depending on age4, while women do not. Nonetheless, you shouldn’t be put off by the statistics, as multiple orgasms are certainly possible for both men and women alike.
What Are Multiple Orgasms?
Being multiorgasmic means having the ability to come more than once in a single sex session without a significant relaxation period in between. This could mean a woman being able to orgasm through penetration or clitoral stimulation without having to stop, or a man able to orgasm more than once without ejaculating the first time or through prostate orgasms. Read on for our specific guide to multiple orgasms in both men and women.
Multiple Orgasms in Men
The consensus/myth around male orgasm is that men are not able to have more than one orgasm because the penis naturally refracts and wilts after ejaculation. For some men, this could mean a refractory period as low as 5-10 minutes, meaning that if they are able to ejaculate again, this could technically count as enjoying “multiple orgasms.”
Yet, while it is unlikely for a man to be able to ejaculate more than once in a single sex session, especially if they are over 30, with the right training, men can enjoy orgasms without ejaculation, allowing them to experience multiple waves of pleasure. Additionally, men who masturbate their prostate or enjoy anal sex or pegging (penetration with a strap-on dildo) can also experience multiple prostate orgasms.
Multiple Orgasms in Women
When a woman orgasms, 96% experience hypersensitivity in their clitoris5 which can be viewed as a kind of refractory period. However, it is not comparable to the experiences of men, whereby their penises almost always go soft, making them incapable of further sexual experience. This type of orgasm can be achieved through sexual intercourse, with 18.6% of women capable of orgasming from it alone, or clitoral stimulation, which over-third of women claim they need to reach climax6.
How Many Orgasms Are Multiple Orgasms?
When you think of multiple orgasms, you might think that this requires having several orgasms from sexual activity. This isn’t exactly true: achieving multiple orgasms is relatively simple as the number needed to meet the official definition is just two. This means that you only need to come twice from a single sex session to claim to have had multiple orgasmic experiences.
What’s the Highest Number?
When it comes to the differences in orgasms between men and women, there is a huge disparity in the sexes. While the world record for most female orgasms in an hour is a whopping 134, the record for men is only a paltry 167. This means that while women are less likely to orgasm than men, with 22% reporting they have never experienced orgasm8, they can make up for it with extended capabilities for multi-orgasmic pleasure.
Techniques to Try for Multiple Orgasms
Achieving multiple orgasms requires innovation, creativity, and repetition. It also requires a lot of stamina. This means that you need a positive mindset and you definitely need to exercise regularly, as tiredness is certainly the enemy of good, sustained sex. There are a variety of techniques that you can try for more stimulation, which we will cover in detail for both men and women below.
Techniques for Men
Men can practice penile orgasms without ejaculation through semen retention. This is known as a non-ejaculatory orgasm. This is because if you don’t ejaculate during sex, then, in theory, you are able to experience multiple orgasms until you finally finish. This requires a lot of training, such as being able to masturbate constantly for over ten minutes without finishing or having sex for extended periods. Kegel exercises can also help you to build up strength in this regard. This also requires mindfulness and force of will to stop yourself from finishing and you will notice multiple waves of pleasure before you are ready to ejaculate.
Additionally, men are able to achieve multiple orgasms through massaging the prostate. This also requires more skill than regular masturbation, while using lube is definitely recommended. Men can also think about receiving anal sex or being pegged by their female partner. As they are being penetrated, the penis can be masturbated simultaneously, allowing for prostate and penile orgasm at the same time.
Techniques for Women
If women are interested in increasing their chances of multiple orgasms, then it’s certainly worth engaging in kegel exercises. This requires working on and toning your pelvic floor by squeezing the muscle used to hold back urine. This makes the muscle stronger and can result in longer and multiple orgasms.
Working on peaking techniques is also essential, which may require telling your partner to stop just before you reach orgasm, before slowly starting again; this allows pleasure to come in longer and more sustained waves when it does finally arrive. Other techniques might include switching up the type of sex you are having, for example, from oral sex to penetration, to changing the intensity and position. For straight women, it’s worth bearing in mind their male partner during these moments, as he may not have the same stamina as you do!
What Are the Benefits?
Having regular orgasms, whether alone or with your partner, is an essential part of a long and healthy life. There are a variety of amazing benefits that can come with orgasms, including, but not limited to:
- Boosting immune system
- Boosting your mood
- Boosting heart health
- Boosting weight loss
- Boosting vaginal and pelvic function
- Boosting sleepiness
- Boosting your relationship
- Boosting stress relief
- Boosting your sexual desire
Additionally, in more spiritual circles, including those who practice tantric sex, being able to control your orgasms and experience more than one in a single session, can be an essential part of building your sense of self-worth and healing your body.
Are There Any Risks?
While orgasms themselves don’t come with any health risks, the means you choose to achieve multiple orgasms can offer risks. Extended periods of penetration, for example, can redden the penis and cause chafing, while women may experience bruising and other injuries. This is also not recommended for men and women with heart disease issues, as extended exertion can result in a heart attack. Additionally, it’s not recommended to try for multiple orgasms if you are experiencing any chest pain. And no matter what kind of sex you are having, safe sex is the best. Wear protection and remember to practice consent and communication!
Conclusion
Multiple orgasms are not just a myth or something that people pretend to have. In fact, maximum satisfaction is something easily within reach if you work hard at it and have a willing partner to play with. As previously stated, there are many benefits of mastering this technique, such as increasing the pleasure you will have during sex as well as bolstering the intimacy between you and your partner. The key part is to keep on innovating with different techniques and to listen to your body to master your sexuality and keep those orgasms coming, and coming, and coming.
