The science of orgasm: how to make yours (or theirs!) even better

Of course, orgasms are great. But what if we told you they could be even better? Sharper, longer, more intense. Maybe even multiple. Yes, really.

Whether you’re flying solo or playing with a partner, there’s an actual science to the Big O, and when you know what’s going on down there, you can hack your pleasure in the best possible way.

So, let’s break it down: how do orgasms work, and what toys can help you (or your partner) level up?

The brain-body pleasure loop

Orgasms aren’t just about the genitals: they start in your brain. Sexual stimulation triggers nerve signals that travel to the brain’s pleasure centres, flooding your body with feel-good chemicals like dopamine and oxytocin.

Different parts of the body light up during different kinds of orgasms, which means the more zones you explore, the more potential pleasure you unlock.

The pleasure zones you need to know

Here’s how to take things from meh to mind-blowing:

The Clitoris

The MVP of most vulva owners’ orgasms. It’s not just that little nub on the outside, it’s a whole internal structure with over 8,000 nerve endings.

Electric Love top picks:

• Suction toys (like the rose) for pinpointed, oral-style pleasure.
• Bullet vibrators for direct, intense stimulation.
• Dual-stimulation toys that target the clitoris and G-spot at once: say hello to blended orgasms!

The G-Spot

Located about 2 inches inside the vagina, on the front wall. Feels a bit ridged or spongy when aroused. G-spot orgasms are deeper and more full-bodied.

Electric Love top picks:

• Curved dildos for targeted pressure.
  
• G-spot vibrators with a bulbous or angled tip.

The Prostate

Also known as the male G-spot, this walnut-sized gland can produce incredibly intense orgasms when stimulated.

Electric Love top picks:

• Prostate massagers– curved to hit the right spot and often come with a perineum arm for external stimulation.
• Butt plugs– great for beginners easing into anal play.

The erogenous extras

Nipples, ears, inner thighs… stimulation here can enhance arousal and heighten your orgasm.

We recommend…

• Nipple clamps or suckers for a delicious mix of pleasure and pressure.
• Feather ticklers or massage oils for sensual full-body play.

The orgasm upgrade checklist

Want to level up your pleasure game? Remember:

• Lube is your best friend: Less friction = more sensation.
• Take your time: The longer the build-up, the bigger the bang.
• Mix it up: Try a new toy, position, or fantasy. Keep it exciting!
• Communicate: Whether with yourself or a partner, being in tune with what feels good is everything.

In conclusion …

Orgasms are natural, magical, and totally personal. There’s no “right” way to do them, just the way that works for you. And with the right toys and a bit of curiosity, they can be even more explosive than you thought possible.
