BLENDED

The swirl fro-yo

of orgasms.

Stimulating your

clit and vagina

triggers more

of your brain,

resulting in more

pleasure.

CLITORAL

A go-to O for many,

thanks to the clit’s

8000 sensory

nerve endings.

If orgasms were

friends, clitoral is

your maid of

honour.

VAGINAL

The more rare yet

doable O makes

some women report

full-body tingles,

according to

research. Schwing!

MULTIPLE

Not just for porn

stars. 80 per cent

of women have

had more than

one O during a

sex session.

SLEEPGASM

65 per cent of

women climax

while asleep, due

to blood fl ow to

their Hope

Diamond.

SIMULTANEOUS

ORGASM

Highly sought-after;

usually happens when

one partner has the

impressive ability to

control his/her O

while the other

catches up.

TOMATOGASM

You say

tomatogasm, we

say to-mahto-gasm.

One PostSecret

contributor says

eating a ripe cherry

tomato made

her climax.

COREGASM

Get o• the couch!

10 per cent of

women report

feeling a deep

internal orgasm

BIRTHGASM while exercising.

A small group of

women report a

euphoric O while

giving birth.

Critics say they’d

sooner get o•

from a root canal.

BOOBGASM

Boobs = the

clitoris of your

chest. Nipple

stimulation can

activate the same

brain region

as clitoral or

vaginal love.

KINGGASM

One woman

reported a

“wonderful” yet

“awkward” O while

reading Stephen

King’s On Writing

in a grocery store.

EARGASMS

The vagus nerve

(the same one that

carries sensation

from the cervix)

also connects to

the ear. Wet Willy,

anyone?

TURBULENCE

GASM

Riding in bumpy

vehicles like trains

and buses is the

ticket for some

women. Yes, public

transportation can

be a giant vibrator.

CHOCOGASMS

Willy Wonka as sex

symbol? Some women

say really good, rich

dark chocolate is quite

literally better than sex.

ANALGASM

No butts about it:

the same

nether-region

nerve brings

pleasure to your

vagina, your cervix

and your bum.

THINKING OFF

The brain really is

a sex organ: some

women say they

can O just by

thinking about

something

pleasurable.

CERVICAL

Research suggests

the vagus nerve from

the cervix may be

a pathway to

(super-intense)

orgasms.
