4. “It is just after orgasm that the intense pelvic vasocongestion resulting from sexual excitement quickly disappears.

If orgasm is not attained, this vasodilation takes much longer to disappear, a fact that, in women, may cause painful phenomena due to the persistent engorgement of the inner genitals.”

5. Masturbation can burn up the calories, as well. You can lose between 100-150 calories for each act of masturbation, according to the Young People’s Reproductive and Sexual Health & Rights Organization.

8. Oxytocin is a powerful hormone released by men and women during orgasm. Consider some of the research on this important hormone:

• Oxytocin increases sexual receptivity and counteracts impotence. (Pedersen, C.A., 2002), (Arletti, 1997)

• Oxytocin reduces cravings for sweets. (Billings, 2006)

• Oxytocin calms. A single rat injected with oxytocin has a calming effect on a cage full of anxious rats. (Agren, 2002)

16. The deep breathing and elevated heart rate that occurs during arousal and orgasm causes more oxygen to circulate throughout the body, a process that keeps organs and tissues healthy.

17. Orgasms improve a woman’s chances of conception because the vagina and the contracting uterus cause increased blood flow to the pelvis. This helps the sperm fertilize the egg.

18. Tantric Therapy; Orgasms that last at least 20 minutes can alleviate clinical depression completely.

19. Sex boosts our body’s sense of smell.

How can I describe to you, a man, what it feels like to a woman? Think of a light switch with a rheostat control.

49. For most men, anytime is a good time for an orgasm, but for women, there are certain times that are better than others.

It is a perfect tool for masturbation for both women or men and can greatly heighten sexual intensity for couples.

For Women – External Vibrator Instructions

There is a definite difference between a vibrator induced orgasm and an orgasm produced by other means. A vibrator orgasm is much more intense and it’s not uncommon for women to have multiple orgasms while using a vibrator. Since consistent and intense stimulation of the clitoris is normally required for a woman to climax we will start with the use of external vibrators.

Few if any vibrators come with instruction manuals. On the one hand, you might think that no manual is necessary — after all shouldn’t you know how to use a vibrator? But if you’ve never used one, how exactly are you supposed to know how? Most people do manage to stumble their way to pleasure with a vibrator, but if you’re looking for a few helpful hints here is a beginner’s guide for women on how to use a vibrator.

Tips:

1. G spot vibrators
   Some vibrators have a curved tip and are sold as g spot vibrators. These toys can make it easier to reach the g spot but they are no guarantee that you’ll enjoy g spot stimulation. Also, any firm vibrator can be used to stimulate the g spot.
2. Safety tip: vaginal or anal penetration.
   If you want to insert a vibrator anally, only use vibrators designed for anal penetration. The toy should be smooth and seamless, and should have a flared base to prevent it from slipping all the way in.
   
3. Vibrator strength trick.
   If you’re using a vibrator on a partner and you want to vary the strength of the vibration you can do this by grabbing the vibrator tighter and getting a larger grasp on it. When you do this your hand absorbs more of the vibration and to the person on the other end it feels like the vibration is getting a bit lower. Loosen your grip and the strength will come back.
4. Take your batteries out.
   Get in the habit of taking your batteries out of the vibrator each time your finished using it. If you leave the batteries in, the vibrator may turn on to a very low speed (or you may leave it on low without knowing it) and this can both burn out the motor and make for some embarrassing moments when everyone at dinner is wondering where that buzzing is coming from. Also, if you leave your vibrator alone for extended periods with the batteries in, they can corrode and leak into the battery case, destroying your vibrator.

Here are some tips of what you can do during this play.

When doing the following techniques, use a stimulating massage cream or oil like those presented above to greatly increase the pleasure.

1.Tapping your clitoris: spread your pussy lips wide open by one hand. Gently tap your clitoris with two fingers of your other hand. Begin by tapping the tip of your clitoris, and proceed by taking the whole of your clitoris between your fingers. Also proceed by massaging your clitoris downwards between your fingers. Use alternating different degrees of pressure – a light pressure at the beginning to raise your excitement, and then greater pressure to heighten your feelings to climax, and then go back to a lighter pressure, and so on.

2.Clitoral rolling: Place your thumb and forefinger around the clitoris and gently roll it in between your fingers. Do this gently and slowly at first, then gradually speed up and use more power. You may also alternate between periods of higher speed and force ending with and orgasmic reaction, and periods with gentler work.

3.Circular massage: With one or two fingers, massage gently the top of your clitoris. Gradually you can speed up and use greater pressure. In between, make the massage broader so that it encompasses also the sides of the clitoris.

4.Fingering both your clitoris and vagina: With one of your hands, you massage your clitoris in the ways indicated above. With the other hand insert one, two or three fingers into your vagina. Massage the walls of your vagina, using different degree of pleasure from time to time. Press especially against the upper part of that wall, letting the pressure and undulation of the massaging work up in the direction of your urethra and your clitoris. In this way your most sensational areas will get the stimulation from two directions simultaneously.

5.Finger your clitoris while using a vibrator with one of your hands; you massage your clitoris in the ways indicated above. With the other hand you massage various parts of your pussy with a vibrator. You can place the vibrator just between your inner lips, letting its tip point up onto your clitoris. You can also massage with the vibrator at the inside of your grater lips, or at your vaginal opening.

6.Finger your clitoris while using a dildo: With one of your hands, you massage your clitoris in the ways indicated above. With the other hand you insert a dildo of a size that fits your own size, but is big enough to stretch the walls of your vagina. Move the dildo back and forth at the opening, and gradually insert it deeper and deeper, until it reaches as deep as possible. Push at the depth of your vagina, stretching your inner parts, also rotate the dildo in a circular fashion, and bend it from side to side, thus alternating stretching various parts of your inside.

You may also just lay with your dildo still inside your vagina, especially if it is great enough to give some stretching of its own. Many dildos are equipped with vibrating mechanisms. Having the vibration at a low frequency, you will constantly feel gentle exiting waves emanating from the stimulation of the dildo inside you, and these waves of pleasant feelings will gradually make you extremely exited and greatly enhance the total masturbation experience.

7. Squeezing your thighs: Some women can achieve orgasm by simply squeezing or rubbing their thighs together, thus stimulating the clitoris and the rest of the pelvic area indirectly. This is actually a technique you can use secretly and very hideously out in the public. Even if you do not reach the orgasm this way, it will nevertheless make pleasure.
But you can also squeeze your thighs when masturbating. Press your thighs together, and tighten them around your vaginal area a little while. Then relax, and repeat. You can try out doing it in several different speeds and find a speed that excites you most. Thigh squeezing is a technique you can use during part of the masturbation in order to build up your excitement.
