Pleasure & Intimacy

The clitoris is pure in purpose. It is the only organ in the body designed purely for pleasure.” ― Eve Ensler, The Vagina Monologues.

Did you know that only 20% of women climax through penetration alone. For women and individuals with vaginas, orgasms most commonly originate from clitoral stimulation. Dubbed the "pleasure nub," the clitoris boasts a dense network of nerve endings, making it one of the most sensitive erogenous zones. Stimulating this area can trigger a powerful sexual response, increasing arousal and pleasure.

Despite its significance, clitoral stimulation is often misunderstood or overlooked. To shed light on this topic, we've compiled expert insights and research to create a comprehensive guide for mastering clitoral stimulation techniques. In this guide, we explore the nuances of clitoral anatomy and provide expert tips for mastering stimulation techniques.

Where is the Clitoris Located? 

The clitoris is located at the top of the labia near the vagina, but its nerve-rich structure extends further into the body.

By engaging in both internal and external stimulation, you can activate the numerous nerves within the clitoris.

What does a clitoral orgasam feel like? 

A clitoral orgasm can feel like a powerful buildup of pleasure that radiates from the clitoris throughout the body. It's often described as intense waves of pleasure and euphoria concentrated in the pelvic area. 

Also, the sensation of a clitoral orgasm is deeply personal and can involve a sense of fullness, pleasure, and release as tension is released through muscular contractions in the pelvic area. 

Whether through physical stimulation or mental arousal, orgasms are unique to each individual, emphasizing the importance of exploring what feels best and enhances connection with one's body and partner.

Are Clitoral Orgasms Different from Vaginal Orgasms? 

Historically, there's been a misconception perpetuated by Sigmund Freud about the "vaginal orgasm" being superior, emphasizing penetration as central to sexual satisfaction.

However, the reality is that clitoral stimulation, along with pressure around the vagina, contributes to the buildup of pleasurable tension leading to orgasm. 

While the distinction between clitoral and vaginal orgasms has been debated, it's essential to recognize that both types of stimulation can contribute to pleasurable sexual experiences. 

Unlike the notion of a distinct "vaginal orgasm," clitoral orgasms involve the stimulation of the clitoris, which swells and changes position during sexual excitement. This area is rich in nerve endings, contributing to heightened sensitivity and pleasure. In contrast, vaginal orgasms are often associated with stimulation from within the vagina, but research suggests that the clitoris remains integral to these experiences due to its extensive internal structure.

How to Stimulate the Clitoris? 

Understanding that every person is unique with distinct desires, erogenous zones, and turn-ons is crucial. There's no universal "best way" to stimulate the clitoris; it involves exploration and experimentation. 

Here are some tips to guide you and your partner in discovering what works for you:

Familiarize Yourself with the Area:

Begin by exploring the areas surrounding the clitoris using fingers, a partner's fingers or mouth/tongue, or a sex toy. Get comfortable with the surroundings before directly stimulating the clitoris.

Gentle Stimulation:

Caress the clitoris gently with soft touches, gentle strokes and variations in motions.  Overly aggressive approaches may not be pleasurable. 

Take Your Time:

Given the size of the clitoral area, take your time to explore what feels good. Experiment with gentle back-and-forth motions, small circular movements, or light taps. Don't forget the clitoral hood, as it also has nerve endings contributing to pleasure. Remember, if you know what turns you on then you’re able to communicate to your partner what turns you on!  

Experiment with Pressure and Speed:

As arousal increases, experiment with pressure, speed, different body parts (e.g., tongues if with a partner), toys, or vibration. Listen to your body or your partner's cues and adjust accordingly. Communication is lubrication! Take time to practice solo and explore what touches, sensations turn you on.  When you know your body and know what turns you then you're in a better position to communicate this to your partner.  

Add Lubrication:

We can't stress this enough, intimate sex lube enhances comfort and pleasure and the tingles and jingles add some extra stimulation to the experience. It can be particularly beneficial when experimenting with different sensations.

Explore Internal Stimulation:

Experiment with internal stimulation using a penis, sex toy, or fingers. Recognize that not everyone may experience stimulation or reach orgasm immediately, and that's perfectly normal.

Remember, the key is communication and responsiveness to individual preferences. Enjoy the journey of self-discovery with our products and shared exploration with a partner.
