Multiple orgasms

[Originally at kwharbaugh.blogspot.com, Jun 14, 2004; moved on 2015-03-15.]

If a female who is capable of having regular orgasms
is properly stimulated within a short period after her first climax,
she will in most instances be capable of having
a second, third, fourth, and even a fifth and sixth orgasm
before she is fully satiated.
As contrasted with the male’s usual inability
to have more than one orgasm in a short period,
many females, especially when clitorally stimulated,
can regularly have five or six full orgasms within a matter of minutes.


—Shere Hite quoting
Mary Jane Sherfey quoting
Masters and Johnson.

[Several instances of a key part of that quote can be found
at books.google.com and on the web.
For some ways of performing oral stimulation that may be effective,
see this.]

Sherfey goes on to explain, in more detail than anyone else has ever done,
the physiology behind this capacity:

the popular idea that a woman should have one intense orgasm
which should bring “full satisfaction,”
act as a strong sedative,
and alleviate sexual tension for several days to come
is simply fallacious…
Each orgasm is followed promptly by
refilling of the venous erectile chambers,
distension creates engorgement and edema,
which create more tissue tension, etc.
The supply of blood and edema fluid to the pelvis is inexhaustible.

Consequently,
the more orgasms a woman has,
the stronger they become;
the more orgasms she has,
the more she can have.
To all intents and purposes,
the human female is sexually insatiable
in the presence of
the highest degrees of sexual satisfaction.

Questions


As a man, perhaps I have no business asking about this,
and should be embarassed for being curious.
On the other hand, at least some women seem to want for men to take more of an interest in their sexual needs.
Besides, I think that at least in some cases,
women are curious about male sexuality.
Is it okay if we both learn more about each other?

Okay, enough with the defensiveness.
From what I know (i.e., from my reading of The Hite Report)
some, probably a fairly small percentage, of women do have multiple orgasms.

It seems to me it is reasonable to ask:
What are the causative, or at least correlative, factors that determine
which women can achieve multiple orgasms?

Several factors seem possible:
  1. Her biology, i.e., her genetic factors.
  2. Her upbringing and conditioning.
  3. The general state of her psychology at the time:
    happy, sad, preoccupied, whatever.
  4. Her attitude towards her partner.
  5. The specific physical stimulation she receives from her partner.

In other words, are there some women who,
for reasons of biology or upbringing,
might as well forget about the possibility?
Can this be determined without endless, frustrating, trial and (mainly) error?

To put it yet another way,
is it true that for some women,
achieving multiple orgasms is “Mission Impossible”
and if so, why?


By the way, here are some answers cosmo.com has provided to the above:
Orgasms-Unlimited and trick-to-multiorgasmic.

The Multi-Orgasmic Woman by Rachel Carlton Abrams, MD.

And here is a sample from the Cosmo article Orgasms Unlimited.

Moregasm Tip 5: Hit the Hottest Spot

Another common denominator that multiorgasmic women share:
They know to bridge the gap from single to multiple
by stimulating the G-spot, that spongelike moan zone behind the pubic bone.
Here’s why:
“While that area is highly responsive to touch,
it’s also strong and resilient enough to stand up to a lot of stimulation,”
says Dr. Abrams.

As we said earlier, a good trick is to come initially from clitoral stroking.
But then, once that area becomes supersensitive,
move on to stimulate your G-spot to unleash the next orgasmic wave.
Now that you’re there, the best positions to milk this feel-good sensation
are reverse cowgirl and doggie-style,
which are good bets because they tend to stroke that area naturally.

To sweeten the pot, make sure you treat these positions as full-contact sports.
That means having him fondle your breasts
or trail his nails down your back as you ride him silly
and creating constant contact by rubbing your clitoris against his body
in a rocking motion in addition to thrusting.
You get the picture.

As for why this pleasure combo works like a charm,
according to Dr. Abrams,
the more areas you engage while stimulating the G-spot, the better.
“One study found that women are more likely to have additional orgasms
if they are stimulating several body parts at the same time,”
she says.
“Your body never quite knows exactly what to expect next
and is more likely to respond.”
Over and over again.
