Do multiple orgasms really exist? Expert reveals the 'miracle recipe' to try (and it's not just women who can have them!)
- There have long been whispers about the mysterious female multiple orgasm
- It can be one big orgasm followed by smaller ones or grow in intensity
- Women who are comfortable with their bodies and in their forties are most likely
- But the experience is largely a personal one and depends on each woman
For many women, the elusive orgasm is something to work towards each time you're with a new partner.
But for some, they are hoping to achieve the whispered-about multiple orgasms, and wondering if that's even possible.
The experts at Smile Makers believe it is and even have a recipe to try which could boost your chances of finding that mysterious O.
For many, the elusive orgasm is something to work towards each time you're with a new partner
What is a multi-orgasm?
A multi-orgasm is the ability to climax several times during the same session of sexual activity, interspersed or not with refractory periods. Widely represented in erotic and pornographic media, the female multi-orgasm is seen by many as an extraordinary experience that must be lived if not as often as possible, at least once in a lifetime.
But before we look closer at this question, note that if fantasies tend to focus more on the female multi-orgasm, the male multi-orgasm also exists.
Men and women alike can reach one climax after another. The difference that is observed is in the duration of the refractory period, which is statistically shorter for women. Men, in general, need more time to recover from an orgasm.

This does not mean that women are good to go again right away: some women's energy level drop after orgasming and others feel hypersensitive in the genitalia area. Some women, on the other hand, have a very short refractory period, and are quickly ready to have another go at it.
What happens when a female orgasms?
The female orgasm is the physiological response to sexual arousal, in its maximum phase. Physiologically, it results in rhythmic and involuntary contractions of the vaginal muscles, accompanied, depending on the woman, by a redness on the thorax or the neck, sweat, an acceleration of the cardiac and/or the respiratory rate, and sometimes even by tears. But every woman has her own body response to climaxing.
To attain that bliss, a woman goes through phases of excitement until reaching a threshold where orgasm becomes possible. For some women, if excitement is maintained and stimulation finely adjusted, this plateau phase can last for some time. It is during this plateau phase that some women say they experience several orgasms. For some, the first is the best, and the following are 'small orgasms'. For others, intensity grows with each orgasm. Again, it all depends on the woman: her experience of orgasm, her body response, and the way she feels next is very personal.
So is there a 'miracle recipe'?
There is no universal methodology to apply to get multi-orgasms. And the problem with suggesting there is if it does not work, we risk getting into a vicious circle where we see it as a failure.

All we can observe is that women who experience multiple orgasms generally know their body well. Sexual experience and age might also play a role: it seems to happen more often in our forties than our twenties.
Allowing your partner to 'lavish' you in the bedroom and purely focus on your pleasure may help, as will slowing sex down, ensuring you are in the moment and maintaining eye contact and a connection the entire time, Shape suggests.
But again, it varies with each woman and it is not an end in itself: a woman can very well be satisfied with ONE orgasm, and on the contrary feel frustrated after a multi-orgasm. A woman's level of satisfaction after an intercourse depends on so much more than the number of orgasms she's experienced: the quality of intimacy plays a decisive role.
