Many women today suffer from disorders such as anorgasmia and dysorgasmia. As a reminder, anorgasmia is the absence of orgasm during sexual intercourse, while dysorgasmia is the difficulty experienced in having an orgasm, or the pain felt at the moment of having one, or immediately afterwards. World Orgasm Day has been established to raise awareness of these issues and take significant action to change perceptions. The main aim of the day is to raise awareness of these issues among men, as they affect the married lives of many women around the world. What are the key features of World Orgasm Day? What are the health benefits of this climax of sexual pleasure? How do you achieve orgasm? In the following lines, we answer these questions.
Introducing World Orgasm Day
Initiated by the association Global Orgasm for Peace, World Orgasm Day is celebrated every year on July 31. It was initiated by two American pacifists, Donna Sheehan and Paul Reffell, on December 22, 2006. Their rationale for establishing this day is clear: “a high number of positive thoughts linked to near-simultaneous sexual pleasure can alter the Earth’s energy field and consequently reduce dangerous levels of current aggression and violence”.
In other words, the climax of pleasure experienced during sexual intercourse can lead human beings to be happier, and therefore less violent. We can therefore deduce that World Orgasm Day aims to bring bodies together for world peace, as well as being an opportunity to break the silence and talk about sex without taboos.
Celebrating World Orgasm Day
Celebrating World Orgasm Day can be very positive for you. Whether you’re alone or a couple, you could mark the day in a meaningful way. To do so, start by preparing a soothing environment. Use candles, incense or essential oils. Then put on a playlist of soft, sensual music to get you in the mood. Afterwards, if you’re on your own, you can decide to discover your own body and find out what gives you pleasure. This can include using masturbation techniques or sex toys. Engage in relaxation activities such as meditation or yoga. This will help you relax and connect with your body.
If you’re a couple, talk openly with your partner about what you’d like to explore together. Then try erotic games or sensual massages. This willincrease intimacy and pleasure. During these moments of raw pleasure, take time to connect emotionally and physically. Above all, you’ll need to focus on positive thoughts and world-peace intentions during orgasm. To do this, you can engage in meditations that combine relaxation and visualization of peace.
Also take advantage of this day to learn more about positive sexuality, orgasms and sexual well-being. This can be done through books, podcasts or documentaries. Finally, you can participate in online events such as sexuality workshops, meditation sessions or discussions on world peace. If possible, share your thoughts and experiences on social networks to encourage others to celebrate World Orgasm Day in a positive way.
3 things to know about orgasm
World Orgasm Day is an opportunity to talk about sex without filters. To reconnect with the pleasure of sex, here are 3 things you need to know about orgasm.
Anorgasmia and dysorgasmia
Anorgasmia is a disorder manifested by the inability to reach orgasm. In 2014, 1,000 French women were questioned, and according to the results of the survey carried out by Ifop, 10% of women in couples had not had an orgasm for more than a year, while 7% of women had never had one. Anxiety, depression, relationship problems, difficulty concentrating and fear of letting go are just some of the causes of anorgasmia. If you suffer from this disorder, consult a sexologist or sex therapist.
If you have difficulty reaching or feeling orgasm, you’re probably suffering from dysorgasmia. It manifests itself as cramps in the pelvis, abdomen or buttocks. The pain can last from a few minutes to several hours. Dysorgasmia is very often the result of a mechanical disorder.
Penetration is not always enough for orgasm
A study on female sexuality revealed that half of all women reach orgasm through vaginal penetration alone. A further 30% achieve orgasm exclusively through clitoral stimulation, and 19% during coitus, with manual stimulation of the clitoris.
Orgasms are sometimes painful.
While having an orgasm is a source of pleasure, it can sometimes be painful. For some women, having an orgasm is synonymous with pain. This pain could be linked to a sexual disorder.
Tips for achieving orgasm
To reach orgasm, specialists recommend getting to know your body well enough. It’s not just a matter of looking at it through a mirror, but touching it, massaging it to awaken sensations. According to specialist Trinidad Forttes, it’s self-exploration that promotes self-knowledge and increases sexual desire.
The use of lubricants during intercourse is also important. This makes for more varied sensations and, consequently, more intense pleasure. You’ll also need to communicate with your partner without filters, as orgasm is a two-way process. Tell them what you want, what makes you tick. In addition, you may decide to use sexual gadgets. These can be used to increase arousal and reach orgasm. As a reminder, sex gadgets can be used alone or with your partner. Some vibrate, others massage, and so on. Some sex gadgets are said to give you an orgasm in five seconds.
Finally, make sure you alternate between different sexual positions. Whatever your preference, regular changes of this kind will bring you ecstasy. From the missionary position to doggy-style, explore without restraint. Above all, let the orgasm come naturally. If you look too hard for it, you risk missing out on the tasty moments along the way.
The health benefits of orgasm
Numerous studies have shown that the greater the frequency of intimacy and ejaculation in men, the lower the risk of developing prostate cancer. So you can consider that you’re fighting this condition every time you have an orgasm. Note that prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, ahead of lung and colorectal cancer.
Hormones such as serotonin, dopamine and endorphins are also produced during orgasm. They promote the production of immune cells. Your moments of ecstasy help to strengthen your defenses and protect you from viruses.
