Female Orgasm
During the orgasm, the central nervous system sends signals to the heart, as a result of which the beating frequency of heart increases greatly. Adrenal glands secrete adrenalin, which effectively dilates the arteries, and enhances the blood flow to the muscles involved in the intercourse activity. Respiration becomes shallower and quicker, and lungs work rapidly to oxygenate the blood. Body heat dissipation takes place resulting in sweating process. Some common changes that occur during the orgasm are -
- Feeling of sudden and intense excitement
- Sudden increase in the pulse rate and blood pressure
- Increase in the size of breast and erection of nipples takes place.
- Vasoconstriction
- Clitoris is withdrawn and vaginal area is lubricated
- Uterus is elevated
- Spasms of the pelvic muscles causing vaginal contractions
- Involuntary vocalization
Orgasm lasts for a few seconds, and continued stimulation can give rise to more than one orgasm in females. It means that females can have repeated orgasm without intervening "rest period", as required by males. This stage is characterized by surges of contraction in the genitals, occurring almost every 0.8 seconds. Relatively only a few young women are capable of achieving multiple orgasm. It is a skill, that needs to be learned.
Attaining the Orgasm
A very important fact about female orgasm is that it is not a mechanical thing, as it is for males. Unlike males, females have ability to feel various types of climaxes. This greatly depends on the type of stimuli used, and if the orgasm is clitoral or vaginal. For males, it is often easy to achieve orgasm, even if their genitals are rubbed effectively and even if the circumstances are not particularly romantic. Female orgasm doesn't take place that easily and for this the conditions have to be right. Following conditions often help females in achieving the orgasm easily -
- A romantic ambiance
- Pleasant and comfortable surroundings
- A sense of being wanted and appreciated
- A sufficient flow of natural lubrication, which prevents the delicate female parts from getting sore
- A skilled partner
It has to be well understood that only having sexual intercourse is not likely to produce an orgasm. This is due to the fact that intercourse alone is not enough to stimulate a women's clitoris. Nearly all women need stimulation of the clitoris to attain orgasm.
