It’s National Orgasm Day, which means that there’s never been a better excuse to learn a little more about your body and what makes it tick. It’s also the ideal date to find out a bit more about orgasms, including some fun facts you may not have known…
Got a headache? Don’t skip sex- it might actually help! Orgasms release endorphins and oxytocin, which can relieve everything from menstrual cramps to migraines. Studies have found that up to 60% of migraine sufferers reported partial or complete pain relief after sexual activity.
Sorry guys, it’s true. While male orgasms typically last 3-10 seconds, female orgasms can last anywhere from 13 to 51 seconds. That’s a whole lot of yes, yes, yes!
It’s called a “coregasm”, and it’s exactly what it sounds like. Certain exercises that engage the core (like crunches or leg raises) can accidentally trigger an orgasm in some people. So, if you’ve ever had a strangely intense gym session… you’re not alone.
That post-O glow isn’t just about your skin. Orgasms have been shown to boost brain activity, reduce stress, and even improve sleep. Some studies suggest they can increase neuroplasticity and enhance cognitive function. Better sex = better brain: what more excuse do you need?!
Around 70-80% of women need direct clitoral stimulation to orgasm. Vaginal penetration alone often doesn’t do the job, so sex toys that target the clitoris (like our bestselling collection of wand vibrators) can make a huge difference.
OK, not a scientific fact, but still 100% true. Whether it’s solo exploration, quality time with a partner, or trying something new with sex toys, National Orgasm Day is the perfect reminder that pleasure is personal, powerful, and totally worth celebrating.
