Women who hadn't EVER had an orgasm for years after being sexually active, what FINALLY made you orgasm with a partner?

It’s a problem many women deal with, but few feel comfortable talking about. Difficulty or inability to orgasm during sex is a common sexual health concern among women. Yet many women are hesitant to reach out for help.

University Hospitals OB/GYN and women’s sexual health expert Rachel Pope, MD, shares more.

Myths and Misinformation

Dr. Pope says that there’s a lot of misinformation surrounding the female orgasm. For instance, many women – and men – believe that orgasm can be reached through penetration alone. In fact, the majority of women can’t climax this way and need stimulation of the clitoris.

These myths can make women feel like they’re alone, or that something’s wrong with them. But as many as 50 percent of women say they have difficulty reaching orgasm with a partner. It’s also estimated that 10–15 percent of women have never had an orgasm.

Popular men’s magazines also give advice on intercourse positions to bring women to orgasm. And while some of the positions do include clitoral stimulation, the message is still that intercourse is the central and most important sexual act.

Indeed, studies suggest that between 53% to 85% of women admit to faking an orgasm. Some research indicates that the majority of women have faked at least once in their lifetime.

Best Sex Positions for G-Spot Stimulation

It can sometimes feel like the biology of your vulva is playing hard to get with pleasure. A prime example: the coveted G-spot. It tends to be a sneaky little sucker, seemingly existing just out of reach of a dildo or penis. The good news is, if you take some time to learn your body and explore certain sex positions that naturally involve this area, figuring out how to hit your G-spot doesn’t have to be a treasure hunt

If you're having trouble hitting the G-spot in this position, slide either a regular pillow or a sex pillow under the receiver's hip to change the angle of penetration, Queen says. Tilting the pelvis up so that the small of the back is lower than the vaginal opening might allow for a bit more pressureful stroking of the G-spot, she explains.

Guys, you may want to take yourprotractor in between the sheets as it turns out, the key to makingher orgasm every time is all about an angle! According to a survey of4,400 people by Lovehoney, Britain's biggest online sex toy retailer,for its Mind The Gap, you are most likely to hit her G-spot at 27degrees, the Daily Star reported. Lovehoney sex expert Jess Wildesaid: "Men can play their part during intercourse by making surethey hit exactly the right spot to stimulate the G-Spot duringpenetration this is at 27-degrees and sex pillows can help to getyou both into the optimum pose for pleasure." The company startedthe campaign after discovering that 61 percent of women found itdifficult to orgasm during any sexual activity. "For around half ofcouples this is the absolute peak of sexual happiness, so we arealways looking at ways to help them share orgasms together withgreater consistency," noted Jess, adding "For women, the key toorgasming easily is to have a strong and healthy pelvic floor, andthere are simple exercises they can do to strengthen the muscles inthis area."

There are many reasons to consider using sex pillows, whether you’re looking to make intimacy with a partner more comfortable or solo play more exciting. “They’re universally awesome,” says Criss.

People with certain conditions may also find the props helpful, according to Jeffcoat. For instance, those who have recently had knee surgery or an injury may benefit from draping the knee over a ramp-shaped pillow for comfort, she explains. Someone with dizziness or vertigo might find resting their head at the highest angle of a ramp-style pillow minimizes these types of symptoms. A wedge-ramp pillow can also ease lower back discomfort.

Best Sex Positions For Female Orgasm

The best sex positions for female orgasm are ones that help to stimulate the G-spot. includes the following:

• Cowgirl: A reverse straddle where the woman is on top facing the man’s feet.
• Doggy Style: Penetrating from behind while the woman is on her knees.
• Missionary Legs Up: Man on top with the woman’s legs over his shoulders.
• On Top: Woman on top with the man’s legs pressed together.
• Spooning: Both people laying on their sides with the man entering from behind.

All of these positions should have the tip and shaft of the man’s penis rubbing against the female G-spot.

The Right Sexual Positions

The right sexual position can also put her in a better place to orgasm.

The woman on top position is usually successful.

This includes the fact that friction can be achieved with her on top rubbing her clitoris against the man’s pubic area during intercourse.

If your partner is still struggling to have an orgasm, there is a product that you can try together.

Why it’s great: “If you think of the regular missionary position, the vagina typically sits too low on the bed, and it’s not angled up at 45 degrees where it can receive the penis or a strap-on or a toy and get that stimulation on the front wall,” Dr. Tara says. With that extra lift from the pillow, you’re basically making it more likely that anything entering your vagina brushes up against your G-spot, she explains.

In this position, the penetrator can also make a small adjustment to improve your chances of G-spot stimulation, Angie Rowntree, an ABS-certified sexologist and founder and director of Sssh.com, tells SELF. If they slide their body slightly higher (so their pelvis moves toward your belly button), you’ll achieve what’s called the coital alignment technique, she explains. “Keep your bodies close and focus on slow rocking or grinding,” she says, to maximize pressure on your G-spot. A bonus? This set-up also offers “sustained clitoral contact,” she says, which could lead to a “blended orgasm,” or orgasm stemming from stimulation of more than one erogenous zone at once

Unique 27° ergonomics: an innovative angle formula automatically positions the basin optimally. This stabilizes movement and noticeably relieves the muscles of the back and pelvis for comfort.
