Another semester is coming to a close, so what better than to write about but the big bang, the apex, the peaking pinnacle to the whole event!

First off, let’s be clear: what is an orgasm?

The first sentence of this article pretty much summed it up…but physically, what happens? The handy anatomy of the male organ makes it pretty clear to notice when a man is reaching climax; the ejaculate, jizz, cum, baby gravy, etc. exiting his penis is the indicator.

In a woman, because we are so very lucky to have some intense plumbing, there are various types of orgasms, and they all look slightly different, mostly based on the individual. Generally speaking, there is a contraction of the genital muscles along with the pleasurable release of sexual tension.

Secondly, who can have them?

Just about everyone! Unfortunately, and you can blame medicine for this, there is a term called “anorgasmia” to define those who have an inability to reach orgasm. This is thought to occur in approximately 10 per cent of women. However, if you are set on falling out of this categorization, there are plenty of techniques to get around it.

“Sex is as much about the body as it is about the mind,” orgasm expert, Lou Paget iterates.

This “sexpert” goes on to blow our minds by stating the fact.

“Women can experience 10 different orgasms, men, eight.”

Women, you have access to: mouth orgasms (in fact, your MOUTH can have an orgasm, just from kissing!), breast orgasms, clitoral, urethra orgasms (turns out three sides of it are surrounded by clitoral nerves), G-spot orgasms, cervix orgasm, anterior fornix erogenous zone (AFE, you may have to  do some anatomy research—it’s far up there), anal, blended orgasms (a combination of the above stated), fantasy orgasm (with thought alone) and ‘zone’ orgasms (having an area of the body stimulated that isn’t normally associated with orgasmic stimulation, like the neck, or the side of the stomach).

Men: quite similarly, mouth, breast (nipple), penis, prostate (internal organ felt through the rectum—the muscles on either side are responsible for erections), anal, blended orgasms, fantasy and zone orgasms.

You guys feeling ripped off?

Don’t fret too much, as Paget assures us, “No one should have to enter a sexual situation with fear or insecurity or the sense that they ‘should’ be doing something they’re not or ‘shouldn’t’ try something new or different.”

There seems to be a limitless potential to what one can try, which in turn gives us a universe of possibilities to explore.

After all, us student-folk are young, and there is no established age for reaching/not reaching orgasms. 90 per cent of women have had orgasms by the age of 35, and as you get older, you are just as capable of achieving climax as you may have been in your youth.
