YOGYAKARTA – Orgasm is the peak of pleasure one might experience during sex. Orgasmic activity is described as muscle contraction or release of tension, accompanied by an increase in breathing and heart rate.

Sexologists explain, there is no single definition of orgasm that is widely agreed upon. Added Caitlin V. Neal, one of the definitions that became a reference, orgasm is a pleasurable release of sexual tension. Orgasm, also known as climax or cum, is often characterized by physical sensations, including the involuntary release of muscle tension, a series of muscle contractions, verbal and auditory emotions of pleasure, increased heart rate, and breathing.

However, not all orgasms will feel the same. This means that there are variations of pleasure or type of orgasm depending on which part of the body is stimulated. Which, according to sex educator Searah Deysach, every partner needs to explore to find pleasure in orgasm.

1. Clitoral orgasm

A clitoral orgasm feels like a tingling sensation on the skin and in the brain. This is because the clitoris has a lot of nerves, if you receive stimulation by gently rubbing it with your fingers, palms, or tongue with a certain rhythm it will cause a certain sensation.

2. Penetrative orgasm

This second type of orgasm is felt during penetration. When the penis hits the G-spot repeatedly, it can cause orgasm and ejaculation. To have a penetrative orgasm, also known as a vaginal orgasm, you need to add comfortable pressure, and repeated motions and the sensations will build up to a climax.

3. Anal

Occurs when muscle contractions are felt in the anal canal and around the anal sphincter, called an anal orgasm. Anal orgasm is something that anyone can experience, but what causes an orgasm is different for men and women. For men, anal penetration can stimulate the prostate, which is a densely packed erogenous zone similar to the G-spot. For women, anal penetration can stimulate the clitoral legs, as well as the A-spot or G-spot.

4. Combo orgasm

This type of orgasm is a mixture of pleasure from vaginal and clitoral stimulation. When both are stimulated together, the orgasm is felt more explosive. Sometimes it causes the body to shake and tremor.

To achieve a combo orgasm, combine clitoral and vaginal stimulation together, either in parallel or opposite rhythms. It's important for partners to communicate with each other when giving and receiving stimulation so they can identify what feels best for you or your partner. Combining clitoral stimulation with vaginal stimulation is also the most common way to have the most pleasurable orgasms.

5. Erogenous

Providing stimulation to sensitive points of the body, such as ears, nipples, neck, waist, and inner thighs, can spur the desire to orgasm. The best way to find your erogenous zones is to use a feather or some other light external object and note where you feel the most pleasure. If lips and fingers aren't enough, you can try incorporating sensation toys such as a Wartenberg wheel, feather teaser, or tassel.

6. Convulsing

Convulsing or convulsive orgasms are orgasms that cause the pelvic floor muscles to spasm repeatedly and very quickly. This orgasm usually occurs after a long buildup.

Neal explained, as reported by Healthline, Monday, February 27, orgasms are caused by the buildup of tension in nerve cells. When the tension is released, you can have an orgasm. Women experience orgasms in about 20-35 seconds. Whereas in men the average is less than 15 seconds. It is important to remember, ejaculation and orgasm are different.

In men, orgasm and ejaculation are two biological processes that do not always occur together. Many men can achieve orgasm without ejaculating. Most important for couples to achieve orgasm, is communication. That way couples can seek mutual approval, tell what they want, find the best way, and explore sexual preferences.
