There are different types of orgasms and bodies have the fantastic ability to experience different ones during a sexual lifetime. There are the great ones; you might know the kind - you can’t stay still, you’re wriggling and squirming, your legs are shaking until finally, an explosion erupts between your thighs and you're left quivering and panting... We like those ones!
There are long & strong ones, there are short & sharp ones, cresting ones, wet ones, fast ones, multiple ones and also, the kind we like the least: the ones that are so weak you wonder why you even bothered. The last kind is pitiful little vaginal sneezes that leave you frustrated and disappointed rather than sleepy and satisfied. Blips on the orgasmic radar.
Luckily, there are a number of things that can be done in order to amp up the intensity of orgasms, and we've got five of our top tips listed below.
-
Turn up the heat to boost your climax
Did you know that heat helps to increase the blood flow to the vulva, which in turn is great for stronger orgasms?
Relaxing in a hot, steamy bath before play is an excellent way of getting warmed up and ready for fun. A gentle stroke and feel of your labia lips whilst bathing will help kickstart blood flow to the area. You'll know it's working when warmth starts building from the inside, the labia lips darkens and feels "puffier."

Try orgasm-enhancing lube
Lube sometimes gets a bad rap; there are actually folks out there who still believe that lube is something "for old women."
Bah!
Lube can certainly be helpful if your muffkin is feeling dehydrated or uncomfortable for some reason, but actually, lube is very sexy and we recommend having a bottle handy.
Certain lubes, like ID Pleasure, can help increase the frequency and power of female orgasms as it contains a naturally occurring amino acid which encourages blood flow to the area, heightening sensations.
ID Pleasure combines natural sensation-enhancing ingredients like Ginko Biloba, Red Clover, and Menthol to ensure blood flow to genitals is at peak performance. For penises, this means firmer erections and for vaginas, it means tingly sensations.

Add a vibrator's orgasmic power
For about 75% of those with clitorises, the clit plays a major part in orgasmic pleasure.
As much fun as fingers, tongues, and toes can be, it's not uncommon for the person focused on pleasuring said clit to run out of steam or develop jaw ache at a crucial moment.
This is when a vibrator comes in really handy.
For the majority, the key to strong, long-lasting orgasms is sustained clitoral stimulation. Pair this with the vibrations of a sex toy and you’re in for a thrilling ride.
For a truly toe-curling time, start on the lowest vibrator setting and work your way up. As the strength of the vibrations builds, so will your pleasure... Which neatly brings us on to the next tip:

Be in control of your orgasm
'Edging' is a fancy word for 'holding back your orgasm for as long as you can' and you should add it to your sex dictionary sharpish.
This is a tried & tested method that may take a while to perfect but once you've got the hang of it, you'll be able to 'edge' your way to orgasm over and over until you have no other option but to let the orgasm rock your body before leaving you spent and grinning. Good times!
As you get to know your body and how it reacts to the right kind of stimulation, you'll know when an orgasm is near. At this point, stop the rubbing/patting/touching that feels so good and focus on another body part for a while. (We know, frustrating, right?!)
Once you feel in control after having reversed back down the hump of pleasure, start edging yourself closer to the top again. And stop just before climax again.
Carry this on for as long as you can stand it and when you eventually let go, you'll be able to enjoy what'll seem like a neverending, thunderous orgasm!
