If you caress her in the right way, a woman can reach such a degree of ecstasy that, for a few seconds, the world ceases to exist.

In the opposite case, the result is pain, frustration or simply nothingness itself. This represents a great contrast to the male experience: if the man has an erection, a vigorous stimulation for a few minutes usually results in an ejaculation.

But why are orgasms so pleasurable and how is it possible for women to experience multiple orgasms?

Barry Komisaruk, was devoted to study by functional magnetic resonance imaging, and discovered that although the experiences vary, both show the same neural activity during orgasm. "What we see is a generalized activation of the brain, basically all systems come into operation."

However, after orgasm, important differences arise, which may explain why men and women react differently after the climax.

Certain specific regions of the male brain do not respond to the stimulation of the genitals in the immediate aftermath of orgasm, while the women's brains are still active: this may explain why women have multiple orgasms and men do not.

Anatomy of pleasure.

The penis has only one route to transport sensations to the brain, on the other hand, the female genital apparatus has three or four.

One of the key centers of female sexuality is the clitoris: a small, fleshy, erectile body that protrudes into the highest part of the vulva.

Point G

The famous G-spot was, for a long time, the main objective.

The evidence to prove or disprove their existence is precarious and, often, exaggerated.

However, there seem to be physical differences between those women who say they have vaginal orgasms and those who do not.

Ultrasound scans revealed a thicker area of ​​tissue in the space between the vagina and the urethra in the women who experienced it.

But if it is not a kind of button, as the word point seems to indicate, what is it then?

For a growing number of researchers the answer is simple: the clitoris.

The team of researchers led by Pauls discovered that the smaller and further away from the vagina is the clitoris, the more difficult it is to achieve orgasm.

As a whole, the studies mentioned above suggest that there are multiple ways for women to experience an orgasm, either through vaginal stimulation, clitoris, or both at the same time.

As for women who find it difficult to reach climax during penetration - or in general during sexual contact - Pauls' message is simple: you have to experiment.

"There's nothing wrong with women who do not have vaginal orgasms." Each person is different, so some will have a lot of clitoral stimulation during sex, while for others it will be more difficult, so your partner will have to resort to their hands or a toy. "

"But women should know that if they do not have vaginal penetration orgasms, that's normal."
