If you're a woman who finds climaxing easy and can have orgasms during intercourse with little effort – even in a position where it's difficult to access the clitoris – then you are very lucky indeed!
For the majority of us, 'ringing that bell' is not nearly so simple. Even women who can masturbate to a climax with no difficulty can feel quite anxious about 'coming' with a male partner.
This doesn't seem fair, because apart from the small minority of men who have psychological difficulties with sex and who cannot relax enough to ejaculate into their partner (delayed ejaculation), most males have no problem at all in climaxing during sexual intercourse.
But of course, in a man, the penis is the pleasure-provider. And clearly a penis gets a lot of stimulation during intercourse.
Women, as you probably know, get their pleasurable feelings mostly from the clitoris – which is the bit of them that would have turned into a penis had they developed into a baby boy in the womb, instead of into a girl.
For that reason, most women need the clitoris to be stimulated during sex – and in many positions this simply doesn't happen.
Now, please don't feel bad if you'd never really realised this before, because you're not alone.
- most women have to learn how to orgasm
- the majority of women do not climax through 'no hands' intercourse.
So, what can you do?
If you're having trouble in reaching climax, the best thing you can do is to start by learning how to orgasm on your own through masturbation.There are articles that can help you, including:
- Once you can climax easily on your own, you'll find it much easier to have really exciting times with a partner.
So here are four sex positions that might help you to enjoy intercourse more and to have fulfilling orgasms at the same time.
The CAT position
Basically this is a face-to-face position, but the man 'rides much higher' than he would in the missionary position so that his shoulders and head are about six inches higher up the bed than normal.
What this means is that his penis doesn't go all the way into the vagina. Instead, the stem or root of it is pulled hard against the clitoris – producing great sensations in that all-important little organ.
The other difference is that instead of taking his weight on his elbows, the man should simply let his bulk slump onto his partner's upper chest.
Clearly if he's a heavy bloke, this might be a problem!
You can experiment with this position to get it absolutely right for you. Some people do it with the man's legs outside the woman, but you can also try it with his legs inside yours.
Many couples find they can't thrust much in this position so they kind of 'rock' together.
The CAT certainly produces very different sensations from many other positions, so it's worth a try, and it might just take you to the heights of ecstasy. I hope it does
