But, what about the real deal?
Climaxing isn't that easy if you are a woman. Interestingly, only a generation ago many doctors believed that a high proportion of the female population simply couldn't climax at all (net doctor).
The fact is, unlike men, most females have to learn how to reach orgasm. An important element is that sex needs to be on your brain; sexual activity and erotic thoughts should be a priority.
What are the factors that could contribute to a woman having a hard time climaxing or not at all?
It's estimated that 70 to 80 percent of women require direct contact with the clitoris in order to climax. For women who are having difficulty achieving that sensation, you should focus on clitoral stimulation (with yourself and your partner).
Once you have figured out how to orgasm on your own, you may have to show your partner what makes you tick. This is why self-exploration is super important, so you can teach your significant other what works.
During this learning process, don't get frustrated. A lot of women start to feel insecure that it's taking them too long to climax, but you are not on the clock! Foreplay can actually be one of the best tools for couples to use to help "build up" the suspense.
Now, lets get technical: although it depends on a female's specific anatomy, generally speaking women have an easier time climaxing when on top, because that provides for the most direct clitoral stimulation.
