The female orgasm (female climax) is an intense physical and psychological experience that happens during sexual stimulation.
Unlike the male orgasm, female orgasm isnt necessary for pregnancy or procreation.

Most people know that orgasm is a feeling of sudden, intense pleasure.
However, not everyone realizes that changes in the body and brain accompany female orgasm.
However, the time spent at each stage can vary widely.
Surveys suggest that half of women arent satisfied with how often they reach orgasm.
In general, it takes women longer to reach orgasm than it does for men.
That said, some women have conditions that can prevent female climax.
About 10% to 15% of women have never had an orgasm, a condition known asanorgasmia.
Whether by yourself or with a partner, note what feels good to you (and what doesnt).
But its also a deeply personal experience and an important part of pleasure for many individuals and couples.
The female orgasm is real, and you (or your partner) deserve to have them regularly.
