Multiple Orgasms: So Nice, You Did it Twice!

Defined as “orgasms happening in quick succession…within seconds or minutes of each other,” multiple orgasms can seem mysterious and, perhaps, simply mythical. However, great news for those with vulvas, they are both real and entirely possible for every vulva from a biological perspective. We know that psychologically, of course, everyone is different, and therefore not everyone’s experience is going to be quite the same. From a physiological standpoint, however, the clitoris is not subject to the same notorious refractory period that a penis typically requires, and therefore has no biological limitations on the number of orgasms it can experience. 

In fact, “vulva owners are more likely to experience multiple orgasms because of the sheer number of nerves that are present both in the vulva and in the clitoris,” says Moushumi Ghose, MFT. As we said earlier, everyone is different, but in the link below, people share their experiences with multiple orgasms, and what works for them, which perhaps can provide inspiration and ideas. While exploring this possibility it is nevertheless important to remember that goal-oriented sexual experiences–i.e., chasing one or several orgasms–can actually lessen the chances of reaching climax at all, and places pressure on sex to hang its “success” on the destination, not the pleasurable journey. Remember, no matter the outcome, relaxing into the experience and focusing on what feels good to you and your partner(s) is the way to go for maximum pleasure.
