But one scientist has questioned the research and said there is no firm evidence of a difference between multiple and super orgasms.
The claim of a new ‘super orgasms’ was made on Channel 4’s documentary ‘The Super Orgasm’.
University of Southampton sexual and reproductive health professor Cynthia Graham, PhD said to Self magazine: “The main thing that is important to get across is that this isn’t scientific research.
“While watching [the documentary], I started wondering what’s the difference between super orgasms and multiple orgasms, and the answer I got was ‘not very much.’”
One of the study’s discoveries was that women who experienced multiple orgasms released higher levels of oxytocin.
This hormone – often referred to as the love hormone – helps bond people to their sexual partner.
And these women were also found to be “less inhibited and more easily aroused.”
Instead of focusing on the orgasm, their brains remained more relaxed throughout the sexual experience.
Three of the other women in the study found they could also all have multiple orgasms, but all for different reasons.
Beverley, 52, claimed that her role running tantric sex classes was behind her “super-orgasm”.
Nan said hers was down to lots of yoga. And Francesca, 59, said hers could only happen with a partner she had bonded with.
This is not the first research that has been carried out into the elusive female orgasm, with scientists continuing to study female pleasure to separate the fact from the fiction.
