Anonymous. "Personally, clitoral is a much more tickly feeling. It's very pubic area centered and doesn't move through my body, instead staying in my clit/vulva. I can only have two or three clitoral orgasms before it becomes way too sensitive to keep going. I don't feel satisfied with clitoral orgasms.”

Anonymous. "Vaginal orgasms radiate throughout my entire body. It isn't ticklish for me and makes me feel like I'm having a really great massage. I can feel my whole body tense and release, and I can get out of breath. I can have as many vaginal orgasms as possible without getting sensitive and feel completely satisfied when I'm done.”

User “Canuckly.” "For me a clitoral orgasm feels good but quickly over as it becomes too sensitive, like a rollercoaster. A vaginal, g-spot orgasm slowly builds and can last a good 5 mins with proper stimulation.”

User “InfinitelyThirsting.” "Clitoral are easier, and more... defined? Like, there is always a definite and recognizable peak, and the muscle clenches are obvious, and so on. And when I'm masturbating, they're way more intense than anything else solo.”

User “InfinitelyThirsting.” "Vaginal, though, are amaaazing during sex, but kind of a letdown in masturbation. After having some truly spectacular ones during sex, I started trying for them on my own, and realised I'd probably been losing some to the noise--because I love vaginal sex and it feels fucking awesome, and I've noticed that I'll hit orgasms, but because there's something in my vagina, the clenching isn't as noticeable, and it's less of a peak than a nice plateau where I'll just gladly hang out for a while. There's definitely a lot more sustainability there.”

User “grittex.” "Vaginal? Satisfying as f*ck. It's kind of a deep need being fulfilled. In saying that, they're easy for me to achieve and vary in intensity - even the best of vaginal orgasms, while great, is nowhere near as intense as a clitoral orgasm."

User “grittex.” "Clitoral orgasms fall into vibrator or oral category: Vibrator is awesome, but no finesse required. Oral orgasms don't happen that often (my recent ex got lazy for the last couple years; I take a while to get off orally) but are like butterflies and fairies and magic dancing on my clit and exploding my universe.”

User “ShelfLifeInc.” "I've only ever had one vaginal orgasm. And I know I had one because suddenly, the world stopped, everything went blank for a second, then my legs started shaking like mad and tears were streaming down my face. It felt like I had been caught in a very small localised earthquake.”

User “ShelfLifeInc.” "A clitoral orgasm feels great, but then there's degrees in them as well. A clitoral orgasm when I'm tired, cranky or sick is going to feel very different to an orgasm that happens after I have been touching myself for half-an-hour with some good p*rn.

But generally, think of a sneeze. You feel it building, like a tickle in your nose, and it starts creeping closer, and suddenly your body takes over and you have this sudden little explosion.”

User “CarivonLinne.” "For me, the clitoral is far more shallow. There's significantly less involvement of the overall musculature. It's far easier to achieve, but it's also much shorter, it doesn't have the long build-up, doesn't leave me gasping and trembling for almost twenty minutes afterwards."

User “60equals100.” "Clit orgasms are twitchy and more build up but less release. G spot is more, that feels good, man I have to pee, then bam! 2 minutes of full body euphoria originating from my vagina.”

User “mycatdieofaids.” "They are definitely different. Vaginal is deep within you and not as intense. Clitoral is very intense and often feels... like its on the surface. Like the difference between a belly ache and the skin on your stomach hurting. Often times it's not one or the other, which is why some women don't notice the difference. You can tell by not having any penetration as you use a vibrator on your clit, or if you only use a dildo with no Clitoral stimulation.

Personally, if I'm masterbating, I like to put a toy inside my vagina and use a vibrator on my clit so that when I hit orgasm my vagina will clamp down on it and it significantly improves my orgasm."

Anonymous. "For me, vaginal orgasms are usually g-spot orgasms. They tend to be a lot stronger for me, but that might be because I get them from penetration while we're having sex, so I don't have to do anything and I can have multiple ones as we keep going, so they build on each other. They're also more intimate since I'm connecting with my partner during it, bringing him pleasure, we're experiencing it together, etc."

Anonymous. "Vaginal orgasms feel deeper and rock my body harder. Physiologically, I think a clitoral orgasm is more concentrated in that area. I only have clitoral orgasms when I'm masturbating because I don't have a dildo or g-spot vibrator. it's harder to have multiple ones in a row because there's more technique and work involved, whether mine or my partner's. They're strong, though. I have clitoral orgasms from oral and they can be incredible.”

User “unicorn whiskers.” "For me, vaginal orgasms I can feel building up inside me more gradually. I kind of feel it starting deep inside me and radiating throughout my whole body. Clitoral orgasms are kind of more... focused and intense, like the feeling is more in my pelvis. They also can come on (heh) a lot quicker."
