Most women say they rarely orgasm with penetrative sex and most men are lost when it comes to finding the clit. So is the road to orgasm town really that hard to find? Research shows it’s clitoral stimulation, not vaginal stimulation, that is the powerhouse of the female orgasm. To put it in simpler terms, a woman needs clitoral stimulation, touch and play to achieve the big O! Just like a guy trying to orgasm just from someone stimulating his scrotum and the base of his penis is useless, routine sex and same old techniques don’t work for women. So here’s a list of a few sex positions that, given the right mood, might make it easier for a woman to orgasm.
10 Female Orgasm-Inducing Sex Positions To Try
1. Doggy Style
Yes, this so-called raunchy sex position makes for super deep stimulation. Women who are able to orgasm from penetration alone will benefit from the intensity of this position, and from the direct G-spot stimulation. And women who require clitoral stimulation to reach orgasm will find it particularly easy to use their hand or a toy in this position. This one has a lot to do with the angles so remember to adjust with pillows if there is any need.
How To Do It:
- Start on your hands and knees as your partner kneels behind you.
- They can hold onto your hips while they thrust away.
- You can either stay still, or, alternatively, push your hips back against them.
- Or change the angle of penetration, get down on your elbows. The intensity of this position could allow for multiple spot stimulation.
- Another option is to lower your chest to the bed as you leave your hips high in the air and your partner crouches low.
- Try using one hand to rub your clit or your partner could reach around with their hand and do the same.
