Scientists carrying out research for new Channel 4 documentary ‘The Super Orgasm’ have found that a mix of relaxation, yoga and bonding leads to the intense experience.
Five women’s brains were monitored for the documentary, which set out to explore the “myth” of women being multi-orgasmic.
One of the participants, Jeanette, said appearing in the study has revolutionised her sex life.
She said: “In the 21st century it is an outrage that we are still dismissing ideas of women having multiple orgasms.”
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, they 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.
Women are most likely to have a ‘yes yes yes’ moment if their partner engages in deep kissing, genital stimulation and oral sex.
Published in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior, a team of US researchers analysed data collected through an online survey, hosted on the NBC News website, based on responses from more than 52,000 participants aged between 18 and 65 who were in a relationship with one person.
David Frederick, lead author of the research from Chapman University, said: “We had the rare opportunity to look at responses from over 50,000 people, including over 2,000 gay, lesbian, and bisexual men and women.”
