What Most Women Don't Know About the Female Orgasm

You might think you know everything about the female orgasm, but there are some surprising facts that even many women aren't aware of — and our team is here to shed light on them.

Below, our aesthetic experts at RefineU Med Spa in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, highlight 10 surprising things about orgasms and how the O-Shot® might make them even better.

1. It’s not just about penetration

Many women (and some men) believe penetration is the best path to an orgasm, but that’s not necessarily the case. 

Women can orgasm through penetration, but most orgasm through clitoral stimulation. With 10,281 nerve endings, the clitoris is incredibly sensitive and the primary source of sexual pleasure for women. Most women orgasm solely through clitoral stimulation.

2. What your G spot is (and where it is)

The G spot isn’t a separate part of your anatomy but part of your clitoral network, located on your anterior vaginal wall (about 1-2 inches inside of your vagina). It can be a little higher or lower based on your unique anatomy. 

Stimulating this area can give some women intense pleasure, while others might not feel much.

3. Multiple orgasms are possible

Unlike men, women can experience multiple orgasms in a single sexual encounter without needing a recovery period. It’s not uncommon for women to orgasm 1-5 times during a sexual encounter.

4. Orgasms improve your health

Orgasms aren't just pleasurable; they also offer health benefits. They can reduce stress, improve sleep, boost your immune system, and even help alleviate pain from menstrual cramps or headaches. 

The release of endorphins and oxytocin during an orgasm can leave you feeling relaxed and happy.

5. Orgasms can make your skin glow

Love your post-orgasm glow? You’re not imagining it. Orgasms benefit your skin, including slowing down the loss of collagen (a natural part of aging) and improving your beauty sleep. 

6. You don’t have to orgasm every time

You might feel pressure to achieve orgasm every time you have sex, but it's perfectly normal if you don't. Sexual pleasure isn't solely defined by orgasm. Enjoy the intimacy and the connection with your partner. 

7. Your mind can make your orgasm better

Fantasies, memories, and even the environment can significantly impact your ability to climax. Focus on creating a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, play mood-setting music, and let your mind lead your body.

8. Your age can affect your orgasms 

Your sexual response can change with age. Hormonal fluctuations, menopause, and other factors can affect your ability to orgasm — a third of women in perimenopause or menopause report sexual difficulties, which can include trouble reaching an orgasm.

However, other women find their sexual experiences improve with age as they become more comfortable with their bodies and desires and improve communication with their partners.

9. Direct communication can make your orgasm better

Talking openly with your partner about your needs and desires can greatly enhance your sexual satisfaction. They won’t know what feels best for you if you don’t share that information.

10. There’s a shot to improve your orgasms 

That’s right! The O-Shot can help take your orgasms to the next level. The O-Shot (O for orgasm) is a platelet-rich plasma (PRP)-based injection designed to enhance sexual pleasure and improve your ability to achieve orgasm. 

After numbing the area, your RefineU Med Spa provider injects a PRP serum derived from your blood into your clitoris and vaginal walls. The injection can increase sensitivity, improve vaginal lubrication, and lead to more frequent and intense orgasms. 

The best part? Because the shot uses your blood, there’s little to no risk of adverse reaction.
