Looking to enhance your sex life? Science has your back! Researchers from Indiana University School of Medicine and OMGYES have identified four tried and tested techniques that significantly increase women’s pleasure during vaginal penetration. Their findings are based on a comprehensive survey of 4,270 women globally, followed by a corroborating study of 3,017 American women between the ages of 18 and 93. Whether you’re a heterosexual couple or a lesbian couple who enjoys strap-ons, these tips are designed to take your intimacy to the next level.
For those with vaginas, repetitive thrusting can become monotonous and often fails to hit all the right spots. So, let’s delve into these four techniques that can make your sexual experiences more orgasmic:
1. Angling:
This technique, favoured by 87.5% of women surveyed, involves rotating, raising, or lowering your pelvis/hips during penetration. This subtle adjustment changes the angle of penetration and allows the penis or sex toy to stimulate different areas inside the vagina, resulting in heightened pleasure. Sex educator April Maria explains that angling can simultaneously stimulate the clitoris directly or indirectly through the surrounding vaginal tissues. Additionally, it can directly target the G-spot, adding another layer of sensation. Dr. Michael Krychman, medical director at UberLube, adds that experimenting with different sexual positions during penetration can also increase arousal, as different areas of the vaginal walls are stimulated.2. Shallowing:
A whopping 83.8% of women reported experiencing increased pleasure or more frequent orgasms through shallowing. This technique involves lightly stimulating the entrance to the vagina, focusing on the outer regions rather than deep penetration. You can achieve this during solo play or with a partner using the tip of the penis, a finger, your tongue, or a toy. Dr. Krychman explains that the clitoris has structures called crura that surround the vaginal opening, and shallow penetration can effectively stimulate these structures, which can then transmit sensation to the clitoris itself.3. Rocking:
While this technique might be less familiar, 76.4% of women found it significantly enhanced their pleasure. Rocking involves gently moving the base of the penis or sex toy in a circular or side-to-side motion while it’s fully inside the vagina, ensuring continuous contact with the clitoris. Sex educator April emphasizes that rocking fosters a deeper sense of intimacy and connection between partners, allowing them to move in sync with each other’s rhythms. This continuous clitoral stimulation can lead to increased arousal, more intense orgasms, and even blended orgasms if other erogenous zones, like the nipples, are also stimulated.4. Pairing:
Pairing, favoured by 69.7% of women, involves simultaneously stimulating the clitoris with a finger or sex toy while the vagina is being penetrated. This powerful combination can lead to blended orgasms, known for their intense and fulfilling nature. Lovehoney sex and relationships expert Annabelle Knight suggests using a C-shape toy like the Chorus during sex, allowing for simultaneous clitoral vibration and stimulation of the G-spot while being penetrated. This technique can be incorporated into various positions, including missionary, doggy, and cowgirl.By incorporating these science-backed techniques into your sexual encounters, you can unlock a whole new level of pleasure and intimacy. Experiment, find what works best for you and your partner, and enjoy the journey of discovering your unique path to sexual fulfillment.
