Revolutionary new study reveals the secrets of the female orgasm

A revolutionary new study may have cracked the bodily code of the female orgasm.

According to researchers at the University of Essex, it’s something women can do – not men – that makes them more likely to hit the big time.

“This is critical for inducing orgasmic pleasure in both solo but also especially partnered sexual contexts,” said Dr. Megan Klabunde from the psychology department.

According to their findings, women climax more often and experience more sexual satisfaction when they report high levels of interoceptive awareness or a deep sense of the internal state of their body.

From the head and to the orgasm, so to speak.

Interoceptive awareness is similar to sensations arising from the body, including hunger, nausea, heat, cold, and the sense of heartbeat and breathing.

For the purposes of the study, 360 female participants completed questionnaires detailing their sexual activity and levels of interception. Participants were asked about partner sex as well as masturbation.

Researchers found that women climaxed 20% more often and with more pleasure during solo dates.

Klabunde noted that women who noticed and responded to internal bodily cues — such as heart rate, breathing and touch sensations — climaxed more often.

“Our study shows empirically that women need to get out of their heads and into their bodies in order to have more frequent and satisfying orgasms,” she said. “Orgasms are more frequent and more satisfying when a woman is able to focus on how her body feels.”

The team noted that these high levels of interception were directly related to satisfaction.

“Women’s ability to focus their attention on their internal bodily sensations and to trust these sensations was also associated with increased orgasmic pleasure,” Klabunde said.

Previous research has described female orgasms as “biologically elusive” and Ms Os was once thought to be irrelevant to normal sexual functioning.

This rhetoric has been blessedly discredited, as recent studies show that the climax plays a critical role in women’s sexual function. In addition to increasing pleasure, desire and satisfaction, orgasms contribute to couple bonding and mate selection.

Orgasms are also critical to women’s overall well-being as regular attendance contributes to increased psychological and physical functioning. A good orgasm has the power to rewire the brain, releasing feel-good chemicals to improve bonding between partners, including dopamine and oxytocin, while also boosting mental health.

Despite the countless benefits of the female orgasm, most research has focused on orgasmic dysfunction.

“Focusing only on orgasmic dysfunction in women is a problem because there is very little research demonstrating the normal process of orgasm for women, let alone demonstrating ways for women to enhance their orgasm,” Klabunde said.

She hopes the results of this study will be a treat for women who have happy endings with or without partners.

“Better understanding of the orgasm process for women can lead to increased well-being in addition to increased relationship satisfaction for women and their partners.”

If you’re looking to further your orgasmic potential, you might want to consider turning on before you tune out. Earlier this year, a study found that cannabis can help women achieve more frequent and satisfying orgasms. Smoke, get off, you can dig.
