An orgasm, when you boil it down, is nothing more than a few seconds of pelvic contractions followed by the delivery of some pleasure-triggering hormones and chemicals. It should be boring, like stubbing your toe or sneezing, but it isn’t. It’s the most riveting experience a human can have, and we spend a large chunk…
Hey all! It’s Dr. Zhana and I’m back to answer all your questions about *drumroll please*… orgasms ! Your questions were so good and so different from the questions I usually get, so I’m really excited about this. Most of your questions were actually really specific and physiological that I had to recruit two people…
It feels like something we knew already, doesn’t it? Like, it shouldn’t take a study for it to be confirmed. We all know. But anyway, as if we needed to be told, a new study indicates that lesbians have more orgasms than straight women. (But not as much as straight men. Obviously.) The study into…
BAHAHAHAHAhhhahahaHAHhAHahaAHaHAHahha… *oh* *oh* HAHHAhahhahahahhahahahaha… *oh* *phew* Hahahah… hahaha… HAHAHAhahaha.. ha.. ha. Ha. That’s better. There’s something therapeutic about a good laugh, isn’t there? It’s the best medicine, so they say. But does it really work of what you need is some sexual healing? A sense of humor is sexy, and studies consistently report that funny…
Did you take part in our Orgasm Day 2017 survey ? We had over 2,200 respondents from 21 different countries share their most intimate secrets with us, and the results were surprising, even by our slightly jaded standards. Here’s a selection of the findings about our global orgasmic habits, just in time for World Orgasm Day on July 31st!…
You may believe that all orgasms are created equally. And in a perfect world, individuals of all genders and sexual orientations would be going around receiving orgasms on the regular. Unfortunately, this isn’t quite the reality. It appears as though, when it comes to women, lesbians are having way more fun than straights. Boo for…
LELO wouldn’t be able to make great sex toys if it weren’t for the information and feedback from our customers’ pleasure, which is why we recently launched an Orgasm Quiz so we could better understand what gets you off. We’re dedicating National Orgasm Day to bridging the orgasm gap , and the first step to…
Sex is hard to qualify. What makes it good? And what makes great sex better than good sex? How do we measure it? Is it the overall amount of pleasure? Or the level of physical excitement? Or is it the strength of the emotional connection? How about the intensity of the orgasm? Or the general…
Science is important. Sex is important. We gathered the most recent compilation of research on the compelling and magical topic of… orgasms. Orgasm Equality: Scientific Findings and Societal Implications Current Sexual Health Reports, January 2020 Findings Less than 20% of females can orgasm from vaginal penetration alone Factors that contribute to the orgasm gap include…
Your mind and body will tell you exactly what they need. All you have to do is listen. This Orgasm Month, LELO is taking a holistic approach to orgasming in order to fight the dreaded Orgasm Gap . It’s about time we start thinking about our sexual wellness as part of our overall health and…
Sex is complicated. I often wonder if we knew that there were consequences up front, would we ever even bother with it at all? Some consequences are obvious: pregnancy, STIs, that kind of thing. But there’s a larger group of less commonly discussed after-effects that can undermine our sexual wellness, and because we don’t discuss…
It’s a question most of us have either asked, or heard. “Did you come?” Three little syllables, loaded with so much subtext and complexity, and while we might be earnest if we ask them, we somehow understand there’s some kind of subconscious understanding that if the question needed to be asked, the answer should be…
Orgasm Faces. We all have them. We all see them. Most of us, unfortunately, are a bit embarrassed about them. Thanks to Hollywood – the orgasm face has been glamorized and sexualised through films like When Harry Met Sally and the infamous television series Sex in the City. Who could forget the infamous scene where…
Orgasming without any manual stimulation of your genitalia might seem like a mission impossible, but in reality, it is an attainable skill for all genders, and even if you don’t succeed, it can help you gain more control over your sexual energy. Let’s start by clearing one thing up – hands-free orgasm is not strictly…
If you’re a woman, you may very well have clicked on this article because you yourself have faked an orgasm and you’re curious as to why other women do it. Or perhaps you’re a gentleman reader who has had the sneaking suspicion that you’ve been ‘faked on’? It happens… kind of a lot! And there…
A recent survey showed that around two-thirds of women have faked an orgasm. I suspect the remaining third have faked an answer in a recent survey. That’s not fair, I’m kidding. But it’s safe to say the majority of women have faked an orgasm at some point in their life – or at least given…
Sleep, glorious sleep! The opportunity to replenish our energy, increase motivation, and to de-stress. And if you thought that having a pleasant dream was the cherry on the cake, you’re sorely mistaken. Sleep orgasms are very real and very very pleasurable. Talk about dreams coming true, am I right? What is a Sleep Orgasm? A…
If you’re a woman, the chances that you’ve either made out, hooked up, or watched lesbian porn are very high. If you’re a man, well, the chances that you’ve ogled over two women making out or have watched lesbian porn are too, very high. And why is it that two (straight) ladies being sexual is…
One caveat before we start talking about multiple orgasms — there is actually very little scientific research on this topic. I hate giving people information that’s not based on good, solid research, but I’ll do my best. Honestly, we’re all a bit confused about this. We can’t even decide on a definition. Some experts define…
Maybe you’re a committed health freak, or maybe you just like having sexy time. Either way, we’ve got good news for you. Displaying affection and doing the dirty with your partner leads to better emotional and physical well-being. The following list will convince you to never not have sex again. Let’s Start With Foreplay (Don’t…
Ejaculation and male orgasming are so closely connected that most people don’t think about them as separate things. But they are, and learning how to master the control over your ejaculation can open the door to sexual mastery that will provide the world of pleasure for you and your partner(s). What is the alternative to…
Can we please start a petition to make everyday Female Orgasm Day? We should really take this day to 1. orgasm, and 2. talk to our girlfriends about orgasming. Why? You’d be pretty surprised how many women don’t know if they’ve ever orgasmed or not. And I think many of us can agree, when you…
Surely this has happened to you: you’re coming to the end of a glorious masturbation session, you’ve got the video cued up to the exact moment and you can feel your orgasm coming on. Right as you feel your pelvic muscles contracting in climax, you drop your phone, tablet or laptop, perhaps even on your…
