Let’s talk about The Big “O”!

Achieving an orgasm can be a fulfilling and enriching experience, yet it can be elusive for some.

Understanding your body, exploring new techniques, and fostering intimacy with your partner can significantly enhance your chances. Here are ten ways to increase your chances of having an orgasm, backed by expert advice and scientific research.

1. Know Your Body

Understanding your own body is crucial for achieving orgasm. Spend time exploring what feels good through self-exploration or masturbation. Knowing what stimulates you can help guide your partner and improve your sexual experiences.

2. Communicate with Your Partner

Open communication with your partner about your needs and desires is essential. Discuss what you enjoy and what techniques work best for you. Clear communication can reduce anxiety and enhance intimacy, leading to a higher likelihood of orgasm.

3. Focus on Foreplay

Foreplay can significantly increase arousal and prepare your body for orgasm. Activities such as kissing, touching, and oral sex can heighten excitement and sensitivity, making it easier to reach orgasm.

5. Use Lubricants

Personal lubes and glides can reduce friction and increase comfort, making sex more pleasurable—and increasing the likelihood of orgasm. Choose a lubricant that suits your and your partners’ needs. See How to Choose the Right Lube for You to learn tips and tricks.

BONUS TIP!

Are you up for trying something a little less traditional, but has been reported to work wonders when other things fail? 

Lucky #11 may be the right tip for you!

A study by the University of Groningen found that 80% of couples reached orgasm while wearing socks, while only 50% managed to climax without socks.

80%!!!!

The researchers’ reasoning is simple: wearing socks, in addition to keeping you warm, help the blood vessels in your feet dilate, helping to improve blood flow. This not only helps you doze off more quickly, it also facilitates earth-shattering orgasms.

It might sound crazy but put some socks next to your bottle of Swiss Navy lube on your nightstand.

Increase YOUR Orgasms

Achieving orgasm is a combination of physical, emotional, and mental factors.

By understanding your body, communicating with your partner, and exploring new techniques, you can enhance your sexual experiences and increase your chances of reaching orgasm.

Remember that everyone's journey to pleasure is unique, and it's essential to find what works best for you.

Remember, Swiss Navy is Always Here to Help
