We are so pleased to share the following article from Dr. Christian Jessen, the host of Channel 4’s hit program, Embarrassing Bodies.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

According to Dr. Christian Jessen: \u201cAnorgasmia is a very real condition which, simply put, means that you\u2019re unable to orgasm. A recent study in the journal of sexual medicine found that women only orgasm 63% of the time with a familiar partner, compared with 85% of men. But if you are struggling to climax, fear not, because there are ways to boost your chances.\u201d<\/p>\n

1. Masturbate<\/h2>\n

\u201cMasturbation<\/a> is key when it comes to being comfortable with our genitals and our sexual responsiveness. If you struggle to enjoy these sensations on your own it\u2019s likely you\u2019ll struggle even\u00a0more with a partner. Studies have shown that women who once struggled to orgasm during sex in the missionary position were far more likely to after they were encouraged to try a little solo love. Grab a mirror\u00a0and explore yourself, which will make it easier to give the right hints to your partner.\u201d<\/p>\n

2. Choose the Right Foreplay<\/h2>\n

\u201cAccording to information from the American Sociological Review, the likelihood of achieving orgasm during vaginal intercourse increased by 18% if the woman also stimulated herself by hand and by 9% if she received oral sex before intercourse. Everyone\u2019s different so find what works for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

3. Open Your Mouth<\/h2>\n

\u201cThe biggest mood killer in the bedroom is a lack of communication. Don\u2019t assume your partner is a mind reader who will instinctively know exactly which of your buttons to push. Be direct and tell them exactly what you\u2019d like for them to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

4. One Night Stands Are Less Likely To Produce Orgasms<\/h2>\n

\u201cOne recent survey found that women had just a 32% chance of climaxing with a partner they\u2019d never had sex with before. And that figure jumped up to 51% if they were sleeping with a partner they\u2019d been intimate with up to six times in the past.\u201d One night stands also call for better safe sex, that\u2019s where LELO HEX<\/a> comes to play.”<\/p>\n

5. Don’t Get Distracted<\/h2>\n

\u201cSome people experience what\u2019s called \u2018spectatoring\u2019 during sex. That happens when we \u2018fall out\u2019 of the moment, as you lie there and instead think negative thoughts, such as, \u2018Do I look fat in this position?\u2019 or\u00a0you start worrying about work stress and deadlines instead. Try to live in the moment and focus on the here and now. And if you really can\u2019t concentrate because you\u2019ve more pressing things at hand, delay\u00a0lovemaking until you\u2019ve got a clear head.\u201d<\/p>\n

6. Fing the Right Position<\/h2>\n

\u201cMost women require clitoral stimulation during intercourse to orgasm, and that contact doesn\u2019t happen with every sexual position. Try lots of different positions<\/a> to find one that works for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

7. Age Is No Barrier<\/h2>\n

\u201cAccording to research scientists at Indiana University, women actually experience better orgasms with age. As far as the findings go, 61% of women ages 18 to 24 report having had an orgasm the last time they had sex, while 65% of women in their 30s and 70% of women in their 40s and 50s reported the same (\u2026) In addition, older women are more sexually experienced, therefore better knowing their body\u2019s actions, reactions and pleasure points.\u201d<\/p>\n

8. Exercise your Pelvic Floor Muscles<\/h2>\n

\u201cDoing so-called Kegel exercises<\/a>\u00a0strengthen the pelvic floor and lead to stronger vaginal muscles, which in turn leads to more intense\u2015and more regular\u2015orgasms\u201d An easy way to stimulate your pelvic floor, LELO suggests, is to use a pleasure training system such as LELO Smart Bead<\/a> or LELO Beads<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"lelo<\/a> \u00a0\"lelo<\/a><\/p>\n

Dr. Jessen also highlights the importance of staying healthy to ensure the blood flows to the genitals – \u201cQuit smoking, eat well, stretch and take part in cardiovascular exercises which strengthen the heart muscles, such as running, swimming or riding a bike.\u201d<\/p>\n

9. Breathe<\/h2>\n

\u201cBy varying your breathing intake from slow and deep to short and shallow, you can actually boost sexual arousal and improve your chances of orgasming.\u201d<\/p>\n

10. Lay Off the Booze<\/h2>\n

\u201cWhile a drink may make you most adventurous, it won\u2019t actually improve sex. The ethanol in alcohol has been shown to reduce organ sensitivity and arousal while also reduction lubrication in women, which will\u00a0clearly hinder an orgasm.\u201d<\/p>\n

We thank Dr. Jessen for her proactive and science-based approach to better pleasure for all.<\/p>\n
