Science defines orgasm as the involuntary muscle spasms that comewith the release of sexual tension. This stark definition does not evenhint at the variety of orgasmic experiences available to the willingpleasure seeker. Orgasms range in intensity from a sweet ripple ofpleasure around the genitals to a roaring, curling wave of energythrough the entire body.

Female orgasm and male orgasms share some physiologicalsimilarities?an increase in heart rate, muscle tension, and blood flow.But female orgasms also involve vaginal lubrication, swelling of theclit and pussy lips, vaginal expansion, and engorged breasts.

Many women have trouble achieving orgasm. Here are a few tips if youhave never had an orgasm, or want to experience stronger orgasms:

• Get to know your genitals! Get out a mirror and start exploring.
• Masturbate. It teaches you how you like to be touched and what feels good. 
• Get turned on! Explore your erotic mind by reading sexy fiction, watching explicit movies or writing a fantasy of your own.
• Touch your clitoris with your fingers. Experiment with different strokes or rhythms.
• Add a vibrator. A lot of women find that a vibrator providesenough strong clit stimulation and unlike a hand, won?t cramp up rightbefore climax!
• Tease yourself. When you hit a plateau of sexual tension, backaway from it, breathe deeply, then start again. The sexual energy canbuild in cycles, each more intense than thelast.
