A new study on female orgasm

According to a new study published in August by the Journal of Sexual Medicine, not everyone with a vagina orgasms the same way. Dr James Pfaus recruited 54 women who were asked to masturbate to orgasm with the help of a Bluetooth-connected vibrator.

These sex toys were then fitted with two sensors designed to detect the strength of pelvic floor contractions, explains the New York Post. Once the experiment was complete, the doctor then analysed the data and found that the muscles moved in three different ways for each woman.

The three types of orgasm

According to the media, the most common type of orgasm is called the 'wave', because these women, when they reach the ultimate pleasure, have their pelvic floor muscles contract and release in waves of tension.

The second type of orgasm is nicknamed the 'avalanche'. NYP reports:

Women who experience this type of orgasm usually have a higher tension in their pelvic floor, which suddenly dropswhen they come.

The last type is called the 'volcano', because the pelvic floor remains stable, before exploding at the moment of orgasm.

Although the study was based on a small number of participants, Dr James Pfaus and his teams intend to reproduce the experiment on a larger scale to confirm their theories.
