You first need to know that an orgasm requires your complete attention. It can last for up to 20 minutes! That’s a long time to be completely focused on your partner! But it’s worth it in the end. Fortunately, there are several ways to increase your chances of an orgasm.
Increased Blood Flow To The Genital Areas
During orgasm, it has been observed, even in sensual movies and the sexiest milf porn, that blood flow to the genitals increases dramatically. This process increases pressure in the capillaries, triggering the lubricated plasma to transcend the epithelium and form a lubricative film on the vaginal walls. It also promotes protrusion of the clitoris and engorgement of the vestibular bulb. In women, increased blood flow also contributes to the enlargement of the breasts and the clitoris.
Increased Blood Flow
During an orgasm, there is an increase in blood flow throughout the body, including the clitoris. This changes the size of the clitoris and the vestibule. It also increases the size of the breasts. In addition, the clitoris retracts and disappears against the pubic bone. The duration of the orgasm varies but is usually around 20 to 35 seconds.
Increased Pain Threshold
Researchers have found that the brain’s chemical balance changes during orgasm. This changes the brain’s sensitivity to pain. One mechanism underlying this is the production of serotonin. This hormone helps us feel good and is also an analgesic. This could explain why women experience lower pain sensitivity during orgasms.
The brain’s sensitivity to pain can vary with different arousal levels, but no study has determined exactly what increases the pain threshold during orgasm. In one study, 26 healthy women were asked to masturbate privately to achieve an orgasm, during which standardized pressure stimulation was applied to the volar forearm, vulvar vestibule, and glans clitoris. This was done three times to evaluate the participants’ pain thresholds.
Increased Oxytocin
The role of oxytocin in orgasm is disputed. Some authors say it is a by-product of ovarian and womb contractions, while others view it as a functionless by-product. Regardless of its role, oxytocin has been linked to multiple orgasms and will continue to do so.
Increasing oxytocin levels is an excellent way to increase the intensity of your orgasm. It has been shown to improve the quality of bonding with your partner. Research has shown that men with close relationships with their partners experience higher levels of oxytocin than those with uncommitted partners. Moreover, men with close relationships with their partners are more likely to have intense orgasms.
Increased Blood Flow To The Clitoral Area
A woman’s clitoris contains a network of blood vessels. These vessels are a central component of female sexual function. The arteries in the clitoris have a high tone due to sympathetic nervous activity and show evidence of vasomotion, the random opening and the closing of blood vessels based on local tissue needs. The blood vessels in the clitoris are dilated through the release of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), a vasoactive neurotransmitter. This process is mediated by the hormones estrogen and testosterone, which act as “permitting” factors for vasodilation.
There are many products available to increase blood flow to the clitoral area. Some are over-the-counter, while others are prescription. In the OTC category, some creams contain counterirritants and can provide warming or cooling sensations. The prescription versions contain medication, such as muscle relaxants and vasodilators. Some even contain testosterone. Some of these creams effectively increase blood flow to the clitoris during orgasm.
Increased Blood Flow To C-Spot
During sexual intercourse, increased blood flow to the C-spot can help you experience orgasms. The C-spot is located on the cervix, the part of the vagina that leads to the uterus. During a menstrual cycle, the cervix is closer to the vagina, making it easier for you to reach with your sex toy. During an orgasm, the cervix and uterus are further inside the body and may require deeper stimulation.
Although research has shown that vaginal stimulation affects orgasms, some women have no problem experiencing them without vaginal stimulation.
