"Some orgasm most reliably from oral sex. Some orgasm most reliably from manual stimulation without a penis in their vagina. Some orgasm most reliably from stimulation of their clitoris (by their own hand, their partner's hand, or a vibrator) while a penis (or dildo) is in their vagina. Oftentimes, a woman needs a variety of these activities"

"To understand orgasms, remember engorgement, which is when those special capillaries in erectile tissue let the blood in and not out. All that blood going into your erectile tissue creates tension that builds up to a very high point. An orgasm is when powerful, rhythmic muscle contractions release that tension. These muscles are called pelvic floor muscles and their contractions prevent additional blood from coming into your erectile tissue. When the contractions cease, blood flows in and out again, rather than just in, and your erectile tissue shrinks back to its original size and color......many women feel the intense, pulsing muscle contractions of orgasm, yet others feel a general buildup of muscle tension followed by a very pleasurable feeling of overall release. Some orgasms feel intense and some feel diffuse. An orgasm can feel like riding a series of waves or like being part of one huge tidal wave. Some people experience orgasms as a loud bang, others as a whisper"

Yet precisely the opposite is needed for orgasm- that is, mindfulness to stay totally tuned in to your own pleasurable sensations. The author of The Guide to Getting It On debunks the simultaneous-orgasm myth further, telling readers that it's not desirable for both partners to come at the same time, since it's awesome to feel or watch your partner have an orgasm"
