10 Facts About Orgasms to Celebrate National Orgasm Day

National Orgasm Day, July 31, is here and to celebrate this pleasure filled day, I’m going to round up some of my favourite orgasm facts.

Have a read and then celebrate this wonderful day in the proper way with a big old O of your own… ?

1. Hello nipplegasm!

Some people can have orgasms from nipple stimulation alone.

2. Period be gone

If you’re on your period, orgasms can help soothe your cramps and make your period go away faster.

Experts think that this is because orgasms help the body to expel cells in the uterus lining that contribute to menstruation and cramps. Do I still need to tell you to start enjoying period sex?!

3. Clit time

Some studies show that less than 20% of women orgasm from vaginal penetration alone. It’s time to get cliterate.

4. Got a headache?

One study from the University of Munster noticed an improvement in 60% of its chronic headache-stricken subjects when they used sex as a natural treatment.

5. I could die

You can have orgasms when you’re dead.

6. Better with age

Studies have shown that the quality and frequency of your orgasms can increase as you get older.

7. Lesbians got it good

We know about the orgasm gap, but this also extends to a gap between lesbian, bisexual and heterosexual women.

One study showed that 86% of lesbians reported usually having an orgasm, while only 66% of bisexual women and 65% of heterosexual women reported the same.

8. Hiccups?

Not any more, your orgasm just got rid of them.

9. Multiple men

It is possible for men to also have multiple orgasms.

Although orgasm and ejaculation often tend to happen at the same time, they’re actually different things, and with training, men can have the big O more than once in a session.

10. Think yourself off

Some people can orgasm through imagery or thoughts alone, without any stimulation.

To summarise, the orgasm is an amazing and beautiful thing so go and celebrate properly with one… or two, or three! Let me know how many you manage to have ?
