Recomienda este artículo:

Intimacy and sexual connection are fundamental components of a relationship. Orgasm is not everything, of course, but it plays a crucial role not only in sexual satisfaction, but also in the emotional and physical well-being of people. For many women, achieving orgasm can be a challenge, and this is where the support and understanding of their partner becomes vital.

Several studies have shown that a significant percentage of women have difficulty achieving orgasm. It is estimated that between 10% and 15% of women have never had an orgasm, and almost half report some degree of anorgasmia, which includes the absence, infrequency, dissatisfaction or pain during orgasm.

Despite this, female sexual pleasure has not received the same attention as male virility. Viagra commercials are common on prime-time television, but the female orgasm remains a taboo subject both in our homes and in laboratories.

Helping your partner reach orgasm is not only an act of love and care, but it can help strengthen your relationship, creating a deeper and more satisfying connection. In this article, we will further explore why it is so important for men to actively engage in this aspect of the relationship and how they can do so effectively.

Get ready to discover how small changes and greater awareness can transform your intimate life and take your relationship to a new level of satisfaction and shared happiness.

Understanding the Female Orgasm

Much has been written about this feeling of intense pleasure in women. To understand how to help your partner achieve orgasm, it is essential to understand the physiology of the female orgasm. This knowledge will allow you to better understand how sexual arousal occurs and what factors can influence orgasm.

The female orgasm occurs as a result of a complex physiological process that can be divided into four phases: arousal, plateau, orgasm and resolution.

  1. Arousal: During this phase, the body responds to sexual stimulation with physiological changes. The vulva fills with blood, the labia swell, and the vagina becomes lubricated. The clitoris becomes erect due to increased blood flow.
  2. Plateau: The plateau phase is a stage of sustained arousal. During this phase, clitoral sensitivity increases, and the pelvic and vaginal muscles tighten in preparation for orgasm. Heart rate and breathing also increase.
  3. Orgasm: Orgasm is the culmination of sexual arousal. During orgasm, involuntary rhythmic contractions occur in the muscles of the pelvic floor, uterus and vagina. These contractions are responsible for the intense feeling of pleasure. In addition, the brain releases a large amount of endorphins and other neurotransmitters that contribute to the feeling of euphoria and well-being.
  4. Resolution: After orgasm, the body enters the resolution phase, where it gradually returns to its resting state. The vulva and clitoris return to their normal size, and muscle tension decreases. In this phase, many women experience a feeling of relaxation and satisfaction.

Myths and Facts about the Female Orgasm

The female orgasm is a topic surrounded by myths and misunderstandings that can negatively affect the sex lives of women and their partners. Below, we break down some of the most common myths and the realities that debunk them.

Myth 1: Female Orgasm Is Only a Matter of the Clitoris

Fact: Although the clitoris is a crucial part of the female orgasm due to its high concentration of nerve endings, it is not the only area that can produce pleasure. The female orgasm is a complex response of the reproductive system that involves several erogenous zones, including the vagina, labia, and G-spot. In addition, the female orgasm is also a brain response, where neurons fire in response to sexual arousal.

Myth 2: All Women Can Achieve Orgasm With Vaginal Penetration Alone

Fact: Only a small percentage of women can achieve orgasm through vaginal penetration alone. Most women require additional stimulation of the clitoris or other erogenous zones to achieve orgasm. A study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine indicated that only 18% to 25% of women achieve orgasm through vaginal penetration alone.

Myth 3: Women Who Don't Achieve Orgasm Have Sexual Problems

Fact: Anorgasmia, or difficulty achieving orgasm, can be caused by a variety of factors, including emotional problems, stress, lack of knowledge about one's body, and physical health issues. It doesn't necessarily mean a woman has a sexual problem. Open communication and joint exploration with a partner can help overcome these difficulties.

Myth 4: Female orgasm should always be the goal of sexual intercourse

Fact: Although orgasm is an important part of sexuality, it doesn't always have to be the end goal of every sexual encounter. Intimacy, emotional connection, and shared pleasure are equally important. Putting too much pressure on achieving orgasm can lead to anxiety and reduce sexual satisfaction.

Myth 5: Women Fake Orgasms to Please Their Partners

Fact: While it's true that some women may fake orgasms, they usually do so because of pressure to please their partners or because they don't want to hurt their partners' feelings. However, this isn't healthy for the long-term relationship. Honest communication and mutual understanding are key to a satisfying and authentic sex life.

Myth 6: Women Reach Orgasm in the Same Way as Men

Fact: The process of reaching orgasm can be different for women and men. Women may require more time and stimulation to reach orgasm, and female sexual response can vary significantly from woman to woman. Understanding and respecting these differences is crucial to a harmonious and satisfying sex life.

Myth 7: Sex Toys Are a Sign of Relationship Problems

Fact: Sex toys can be a great tool to increase pleasure and explore new forms of intimacy. Their use does not indicate problems in the relationship, but rather a willingness to experiment and improve sex life. Many sexuality experts, such as Drs. Klara Senior and Sofia Herrera , recommend sex toys as part of a healthy and varied sex life.

A toy can get you out of a rut, help you discover new ways to give each other pleasure, and help you get to know your partner better.

 What Can I Do to Help My Partner Achieve Orgasm?

Give it time

The first step to helping your partner reach orgasm is to be patient. A female orgasm takes time and a slow build-up. While men only need about 5 minutes to climax, women need considerably longer, with the average being between 15-20 minutes.

Every woman is different and may need more time to climax. It is important not to rush the process and allow your partner to enjoy each stage of arousal.

Help Her Feel Relaxed

Relaxation is essential for a woman to fully enjoy sex. According to Italian scientist Emmanuele Jannini, former president of the Italian Society of Andrology and Sexual Medicine and creator of the “Orgasmometer”, a scale to measure sensations of sexual pleasure: Women need time and freedom because “the success of intercourse, masturbation (or other sexual activity) is related to a woman's ability to let herself be carried away by pleasure,” says the researcher.

Stress and anxiety can make it difficult to become aroused and have an orgasm. You can help your partner relax by creating a comfortable, pressure-free environment and relaxing yourself. Men also feel anxious about their “bed skills” before sex, and that can create tension. A massage, a quiet conversation, or just spending time together before sex can contribute to an atmosphere of relaxation and trust.

Sex Starts Long Before Getting Into Bed

Intimacy and desire don't just start in the bedroom. Loving gestures, kind words, and displays of affection and seduction throughout the day can increase sexual desire and arousal. A clean, tidy house, a passionate kiss, or a hug can set the stage for a more satisfying sexual experience. So make her laugh, clean the house, put on some romantic music, and light that vanilla candle. Of course it matters!

Talk to her

Open communication is key to a healthy sex life. Talk to your partner about his or her sexual desires, fantasies, and needs. Ask what he or she likes and dislikes, and listen carefully to his or her answers. Communication not only improves intimacy, but it also helps you eliminate misunderstandings and get to know your partner better.

Here is a list of 69 questions you can ask him .

Start Slowly

Taking time to explore your partner's body and building arousal slowly can make orgasm more intense. Foreplay is essential to increase desire and prepare the body for sex. Caress, kiss, and gently touch your partner, paying attention to their reactions and discovering what they find most pleasurable.

At this stage, don't underestimate the importance of the nipples and areola area. These areas are extremely sensitive and can be a significant source of pleasure. Use gentle movements with your fingers or tongue to stimulate the nipples. Kissing, licking, or sucking the nipples and areola can increase arousal and prepare your partner for a more intense experience.

Learn the Art of Oral Sex

Oral sex can be one of the most effective ways to help your partner reach orgasm. Learn how to give oral sex by paying attention to your partner's cues and experimenting with different techniques and rhythms. Clitoral stimulation with your tongue and lips can provide intense pleasure and help your partner climax. Don't be afraid to ask what your partner likes and ask for feedback to improve.
