What is the physical difference between a vaginal and clitoral orgasm?

Spinn: What is the physical difference between a vaginal and clitoral orgasm?
Ive done alot of research on sex, but ive never been sure about the difference between orgasms. I know that the vaginal orgasm is suppose to be a theory or a myth or something. Can anyone tell me the physical difference between the two as far as feeling or muscle spasms? Are you suppose to experience a clitoral orgasm during sex? I mean, is that suppose to be the ultimate goal for couples? Thanks to anyone open enough to respond.

I guess when you say vaginal orgasm you’re talking about the G-Spot right? Apparently that is the best orgasm. I’ve never had one but I’ve read about it and it’s supposed to be the ultimate satisfaction for a woman. But you would have to specifically stimulate the G-spot which is like an inch and a half above the front wall of the vagina. So regular sex might not work .

who said it’s a myth… you might get a vaginal orgasm when receiving vaginal penetration and a clitoral orgasm when stimulation is given to the clitoris. I am not totally certain but believe that women get more easily clitoral orgasms as the stimulation is very strong. Best positions during vaginal penetrations are the ones that also stimulate the clitoris at the same time. it should provide the ultimate pleasure 😉

Extremely well written question ! I appreciate ! I have also done lot of research on this subject and the basic issue is that Vagina is not as much rich in the nerves which carry pleasure sensation as Clitoris. Clitoris has huge nerve endings which can be easily excited by friction. Also due to blood flow and muscular contractions woman gets massive pleasure in clitoral orgasm. One can get clitoral orgasm during sex but unfortunately most of the men are not aware how to exite clitoris while they enjoy sex. Women also do not demand that their clitoris should get stimulated, so most of the times men finish their act and then women have to use vibrator to get orgasm. However some women do get orgasm by excitation of vaginal nerves and many others by G – Spot excitation which is achievable in doggy style position.

To overcome this problem woman on top is ideal position in which she can adjust friction of clitoris against the man’s penis. If that is not possible easily , she can even make the penis lie on man’s tummy and the ensure that clitoris gets proper friction against this penis lying on man’s tummy. This is one sure shot way to get orgasm and many a times multiple orgasms.

It is beyond ones imagination why god must have created clitoris at that odd position which cannot be very easily excited during normal sex. Most women personally agree that their best friend is the vibrator which gives sure shot orgasm when used on clitoris.

Stimulating the clitoris and (for some women) pressure in or around the vagina cause pelvic fullness and body tension to build up to a peak. Orgasm is the point at which all the tension is suddenly released in a series of involuntary and pleasurable muscular contractions in the vagina, uterus, and/or rectum. Some women do experience orgasms without contractions.

The difference between a “clitoral” and a “vaginal” orgasm lies in which body part is stimulated to achieve orgasm, not necessarily where you feel the orgasm. The clitoris has a central role in elevating feelings of sexual tension. During sexual excitement, the clitoris swells and changes position. The blood vessels through the whole pelvic area also swell, causing engorgement and creating a feeling of fullness and sexual sensitivity. Your inner vaginal lips swell and change shape. Your vagina balloons upward, and your uterus shifts position.

You or a partner can stimulate your clitoris in a number of different ways — by rubbing, sucking, body pressure, using a vibrator. Although some women touch the glans of the clitoris to become aroused, for others it can be so sensitive that direct touching hurts, even with lubrication. Also, focusing directly on the clitoris for a long time may cause the pleasurable sensations to disappear. Your clitoris can also be stimulated during sexual intercourse, most often with the woman on top — this happens when the clitoris is rubbed against the man’s pubic bone. It can also be achieved when the man is on top if the man positions himself high enough so that his pubic bone presses against his partner’s clitoral area. You or your partner can also stimulate your clitoris with fingers during intercourse to help bring you to orgasm.

For some women, the outer third of their vagina is also very sensitive. When stimulated during intercourse or other vaginal penetration, these women can orgasm. This would be what you referred to as a vaginal orgasm — without clitoral stimulation. Sigmund Freud made a pronouncement that the “mature” woman has orgasms only when her vagina, but not her clitoris, is stimulated. This, of course, made the man’s penis central to a woman’s sexual satisfaction. In reality, orgasms are a very individualistic thing — there is no one correct pattern of sexual response. Whatever works, feels good, and makes you feel more alive and connected with your partner are what count.
