Last updated by Lauren Hart

How many times have I heard my friends say they couldn't reach orgasm during sex? We all deserve to experience pure pleasure when we're intimate. Personally, when I have sex, I know I’m going to orgasm. Why? Because there are a few key secrets to guarantee pleasure every time. Just like I shared them with my friends, I’m sharing them with you now—let’s dive in! [Yes, this article is specially for people with a vulva!]

How To Have An Orgasm? 6 Tips To Let Go And Enjoy!

1. Know your own body

Many women have never looked at or touched their own genitals. Yet, understanding your body is key to experiencing pleasure—the clitoris is the main source of female orgasms 😌! In fact, there is only one type of orgasm—the clitoral orgasm. What some call a “vaginal” orgasm is actually closely linked to the clitoris, as it extends internally around the perineal area.

2. Explore through masturbation

Before focusing on partnered pleasure, take time to “sexplore” on your own 😉! This is part of discovering your body and breaking the taboos around female sexuality. Women have every right to masturbate, just as men do! 

Many women experience their first orgasm through clitoral stimulation, either using their fingers or a vibrator. Choosing the right sex toy is important—clitoral suction stimulators, for example, are said to be amazing! #JustSaying 🤫 

3. Let Go and Relax

To reach orgasm, you need to silence distracting thoughts about your appearance, performance, or insecurities. Instead of thinking, “Does my stomach look weird?” or “Are they noticing my cellulite?”... the key is to shift focus to sensations. Immerse yourself in pleasure—both yours and your partner’s.

😌 A great way to relax and reconnect with your partner is through tantric massage. It encourages surrender, connection, and deep enjoyment.

Sometimes, the biggest obstacle to pleasure is our own mind 😬

Our thoughts, self-doubt, and fear of letting go can get in the way. A sexologist can guide you gently through these challenges, helping you release mental barriers and reconnect with your sensuality. Give yourself permission to explore! 😉

4. Challenge sexual myths

It’s time to ditch outdated beliefs about sex and embrace sexual freedom. Unlearning misconceptions helps you experience pleasure without unnecessary restrictions and guilt.

👉 For example, many believe that foreplay is just a warm-up and not “real” sex. In reality, foreplay is just as intimate and important as penetration. Setting artificial boundaries in the bedroom can lead to sexual frustration and even vaginismus.

👅 Oral sex, like cunnilingus, is a valid and enjoyable sexual act, so don’t hesitate to incorporate it as foreplay, during intercourse, or even as a grand finale! 🎉

5. Communicate with your partner

Exploring your own pleasure is important, but teaching your partner what you love is just as crucial 😁! Each woman experiences pleasure differently, so communication is key.

Some clitoral stimulation techniques may feel amazing, while others might be too intense or uncomfortable. Don’t be afraid to guide your partner—this is a shared experience that should be pleasurable for both of you.

6. Find what excites you

Discovering what really turns you on is essential 😉. Every woman has different preferences—some love penetration, while others enjoy oral sex more.

If penetration is part of your pleasure, certain Kamasutra positions can maximize clitoral stimulation. Like trying on clothes, experimenting with different positions helps you find what truly excites you 😁! Here are some techniques specifically designed to enhance clitoral pleasure:

  • 👉 Angling: Adjusting your hips to find the best penetration angle for maximum stimulation.
  • 👉 Rocking: Keeping constant body contact to ensure continuous clitoral stimulation.
  • 👉 Shallowing: Shallow penetration that better stimulates the internal clitoral roots.
  • 👉 Pairing: Simultaneous clitoral stimulation with hands or a toy during penetration.

Ultimately, focusing on the clitoris is the key to orgasm. Self-exploration, communication, and sexual empowerment all contribute to deeper pleasure. While there’s no “magic formula,” integrating these practices can help you let go—which is the real secret to sexual bliss 😄!

Expert Advice: When Pleasure Feels Out of Reach...

Struggling to achieve orgasm is known as anorgasmia, and it can seriously impact self-esteem and relationships. Often, the fear of orgasm or losing control is the underlying issue. Past trauma, such as sexual abuse or difficult life events, can also be factors. If this resonates with you, therapy with a psychologist or sexologist can help you unlock deeper intimacy.

What Are The 6 Types Of Narcissism?

There are a whole range of narcissistic personalities out there, and they scale from highly toxic to rather positive (surprising, right?!). That being said, most mental health experts agree that there are 6 types of narcissistic profiles, which whilst they may all be based on an inflated sense of self-esteem, they are in reality all drastically different, and more or less severe. When it comes to dealing with this type of personality disorder, it’s best to know what you are up against, in order to react appropriately, as well as to avoid falling into their traps and becoming their latest victim. After all, knowledge is power, and that’s never be truer than in this particular context.

10 Weird Things Narcissists Do Sexually - Romance Is Dead

As with many things in life, narcissists also have unhealthy relationships with sex and treat it as nothing more than a self-gratifying activity. After all, manipulation, control, and emotional abuse are their so-called trusty weapons that they hide behind in most circumstances, so why wouldn’t they call on them in the bedroom too? The bottom line is people with this personality disorder are used to getting what they want and will only ever put themselves and their pleasure first, which doesn’t bode well for a healthy sex life. 🙈 Discover the weird things narcissists do in the bedroom and what you should do if you are involved with one.

Are Narcissists Born Or Made? - Let's Settle The Debate

There you have it, the nature vs nurture debate is back, only this time I want to focus it on those deviously manipulative personalities we refer to as narcissists. Now, evidently these folks get bad press and rightly so because they are often at the root of plenty of harm, but is it really their fault? Can they really be blamed for their terrifying and perhaps inherent traits, or are they simply just products and in this case victims of their environments? Let’s settle this debate once and for all and figure out how and when this disorder becomes apparent. So, are you born a narcissist or is it developed?

Why Your Boyfriend Gets Defensive When You Talk About My Feelings

Relationships are never exactly straightforward, and at points, a crystal ball wouldn’t go amiss when it comes to understanding what your partner’s reactions are hiding. Now, sadly not all of us own a trusty crystal ball, but our experience when it comes to love is just as precious in analyzing potential pitfalls related to emotions. This may sound a little cliché, but us girls love talking about our feelings, whether that be about when we are falling in love, or when we are feeling sad. Yet some guys get really defensive whenever these serious topics come round, here’s why.

How Long Will A Narcissist Rebound Relationship Last?

Narcissist rebound relationships generally last anywhere from 6-months to a year. Now, whilst the timeframe depends on each individual, these twisted personalities usually head into these relationships with a plan in mind, meaning they know exactly when and where they'll break things off. Plus, when they are in the final stages of a relationship with you, they are no doubt in the process of grooming their next victim. That's right, the need for a constant narcissistic supply means that they aren't likely to date any one person for an extensive period of time. For them, they require fresh blood every 6-months or so because they simply get bored. Let's take a look at the reasons why they keep their rebounds short, but not so sweet.

Is Sleeping With A Colleague Or Your Boss A Dangerous Game?

I’ve had a crush on someone at work before. Honestly, if I hadn’t found out later that he was in a relationship, I’d have gone all out to seduce him. Except that we all know the “No sex at work” rule, which means that it’s a bad idea to sleep with a colleague, or worse, your boss! Is it really that dangerous a game? What do you risk if you’re caught in the act? I’ll explain it all to you (yes, I did my homework before going for it)!

I’m Having Doubts About My Relationship

This happens often. Since life in a relationship, and even love, are never a smooth ride, of course, I have my doubts 😵‍💫. Not on the same wavelength, the impression that the grass is greener on the other side, different plans… Under the weight of doubts, love loses its splendor. Can it be fixed? I don’t think so, but the important thing is to know how to react.

What Is Candaulism?

Now, many of you are no doubt scratching your head wondering what candaulism means, but some of you must already know by now, and that would explain the recent spike in Google searches for the term. Candaulism is in fact a sexual practice in which a man exposes his female partner or photos of her, to other consenting people. This particular fantasy is therefore associated with exhibitionism. Although that’s not all, the term can also apply to a male partner watching his girlfriend or wife making love to someone else. So, let’s take a peep (get it?) at this practice.

Create a Peaceful Living Space

For years, I didn’t really take care of my home. Not that it was dirty, but there was no particular decoration, and most of all, a lot of clutter. Then one day, I decided to do a major decluttering! I thought it would be a dreadful task, but in the end, I realized that organizing my apartment also helped clear my mind. We often overlook this, but having a peaceful living space truly makes a difference!

Mature Love: How Do Relationships Evolve Over Time?

They say that love is like fine wine: it evolves, matures, and becomes even more delightful with time. I say "they say," but in reality, I’m certain of it. Even though I’m single as I write this article, I’ve experienced long-lasting love stories, and there’s nothing quite like reaching mature love—the kind that provides security and support. That’s why today, I want to talk to you about how romantic relationships evolve!
