The Blended Orgasm Can Make Sex Even More Intense

All orgasms are good. But this type is ah-mazing.
What’s better than an orgasm? An orgasm with double the intensity, multiplying the amazing sensations you feel and leaving you in awe of the depth of pleasure the female body is capable of.
While a two-for-one orgasm may sound like a unicorn of a sexual experience, it’s very much a real thing. In fact, experts have dubbed it a “blended orgasm,” and any woman can achieve it. Here’s what blended Os are all about, and how to start experiencing them.
What exactly is a blended orgasm?
“A blended orgasm is one that occurs from stimulation to both the back and front of the clitoris,” Laurel Steinberg, PhD, a New York City–based clinical sexologist and relationship therapist, tells Health. “It’s a combined sensation that comes simultaneously from both ends.”
Yep, your clitoris has two ends. The clitoral glans may look small from the outside, but what you see is just the tip of the iceberg. There are over 8,000 nerve endings within the entire clitoris, most of which extends back into your body and is situated alongside the vagina.
Think of it as looking like a wishbone—with the G-spot, the dime-shaped erogenous zone about half an inch inside your vagina on the front wall—as the spot where the clitoral body splits. Touch or stroke the G-spot with a finger, toy, or penis, and you’re actually stimulating the area where the urethral sponge and the internal clitoral body split into two roots that are about four inches long, Megwyn White, sexual wellness expert and director of education at sex toy company Satisfyer, tells Health. “We refer to this area as part of the clitoral network.”
Despite all the pleasure zones down there, only 18% of women orgasm from penetration alone, according to one recent study published in the Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy. More than 36% of women, on the other hand, said that clitoral stimulation was necessary to have an orgasm during intercourse.
