More Orgasms for Women
The orgasm gap between men and women remains significant. A 2020 survey revealed:
-
39% of women always orgasm during masturbation,
-
Only 6% climax during partnered sex,
-
20% say they never orgasm,
-
By comparison, 95% of heterosexual men usually or always climax.
Much of this gap is due to misconceptions: 30% of men believe penetration alone is enough to bring a woman to orgasm, while only 18% of women say they don’t need clitoral stimulation. Social expectations and lack of knowledge also play a role. Experiment with lubricants, toys, and touch to discover what truly works for you.
Pompoir
Pompoir, also called ‘The Singapore Grip’ or ‘Kabzah’ in Hindi, is an ancient tantric practice where the vulva owner actively uses their pelvic muscles to massage and grip the penis. Both partners remain still otherwise, making it a deeply intimate way to share sexual pleasure.
Sensory Sex: Engage All Your Senses
To elevate intimacy, try involving as many senses as possible: sight, sound (ASMR or sexy music), taste, and touch over the whole body. Moving the focus from just the genitals to a full sensory experience can deepen connection and pleasure.
Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM)
More people than you might think are exploring ENM—structured agreements where partners define who, when, and under what circumstances extra-relational sex is allowed. Examples include couples who travel frequently and agree “what happens on the road stays on the road,” or those who allow limited one-night encounters. Regular check-ins are key to ensuring everyone feels comfortable and the arrangement continues to work well.
Orgasms for Pain Relief
Masturbation can be a natural painkiller: it can ease headaches, reduce period cramps, and boost overall wellbeing. A quick, focused session can help you relax, recharge, and feel rejuvenated.
Sustainable Sex Toys
If you already carry a reusable coffee cup or a stainless steel water bottle, why not choose ethical sex toys too? Eco-conscious toys are often safer, non-toxic, and better for the planet—perfect for a mindful, modern lifestyle.
Vanilla Sex and Intimacy
Interest in traditional intimacy is on the rise. After the second season of Bridgerton, searches for “missionary position” increased by 22%. More broadly, searches for “physical intimacy” rose by 1,940%, and “sexual intimacy” went up by 150%. Sometimes, a warm hug and slow, tender lovemaking is exactly what we need to reconnect and feel close.
