Frequently Asked Questions

There is no “normal” orgasm — everyone’s orgasms are a bit different! How long an orgasm lasts and how intense it is can be different every time you have sex.

Orgasms can happen through different kinds of sexual stimulation, both inside and outside of your body. For example, a lot of people experience orgasms by stimulating their clitorises rather than penetrating their vaginas. Some people can’t reach orgasm through vaginal sex at all. So, ask your partner what feels good. And while you’re at it, let them know what feels good to you, too.

All people experience orgasms in different ways, and they can feel different at different times. So there’s no reason to feel freaked out about asking if your partner had an orgasm 💦💦— asking shows that you care about making your partner feel good, which is super important when it comes to having good sex. Communicating about sex 🗣 — before, during, and after — helps both of you understand what the other one likes and doesn’t like, which can make sex better and strengthen your relationship💏.
