Multiple Orgasms

One orgasm doesn't have to be the end. Many women can come again within minutes if the touch changes in the right way. The secret is not stopping completely, and not trying too hard.

01How it works

After an orgasm the clit gets very sensitive for a short time. If you stop everything, arousal drops. If you ease off but stay turned on, you can build to another one, often faster than the first.

Men usually need a longer rest before they can come again. That's normal, and it's a good time for him to focus on you.

02How to come again

  1. 1

    Have a great first one

    Take your time. A strong first orgasm leaves you more sensitive for the next.

  2. 2

    Go soft, don't stop

    Move away from the clit to the inner lips, thighs or breasts. Keep kissing.

  3. 3

    Wait a minute

    Let the sensitivity settle. Breathe slowly.

  4. 4

    Build again

    Return to the clit with lighter touch and build up. Many women find the second comes quicker.

03Ways to make it easier

  • Change the touch

    Switch from clit to G spot or the other way round.

  • Use a toy

    A vibrator on a low setting keeps you going when hands are tired.

  • Mix it up

    Oral for the first, penetration for the second.

04Keep the pressure off

  • Don't count. Chasing a number takes you out of your body.
  • Keep your breathing slow and your jaw relaxed.
  • Tell your partner to keep going after you come, but gently.
  • Practise alone first. See masturbation tips.
