Orgasms ‘n Stuff

Welcome back, inexperienced masturbaters and dudes who want to surprise their lady-friends!

Okay, this week will be the last in our ongoing series on how to figure out how to pleasure yourself and communicate your sexual desires to a partner.  We’re getting into the nitty-gritty here.  What do you need to do to get off?

Clitoral Orgasms:
First off, the clitoris can have a lot of variation in its size and shape.  On some women, it’s nearly non-existant while on others it seems like a mini-penis.  How can you tell if yours is normal?  If it’s on you and it’s not surgically altered, it’s normal.  Don’t worry.  On most women, the upper left corner is apparently the most sensitive (I read it some place, can’t remember where, and it stood out only because it’s true for me, so your mileage may vary here) but you’ll want to feel around to see where feels best for you.

During arousal, your clitoris will become engorged and swell a little.  Again, this is TOTALLY NORMAL.  The clitoris is analogus to the penis and they come from the same structure on babies before gender fully develops.  Think of it like a penis-analog during masturbation.  You don’t get a guy off by rubbing the head of his penis.  Well, I guess you could but it’d take a REALLY long time.  Regardless, your best method for getting a guy off is stroking the length of his penis.  This means you’ll want to rub the length of your clitoris probably from the sides or the top (on some women, the top may be too sensitive for this kind of treatment so if you’re not the lady in question, the sides may be your best bet).  Using 2 fingers on either side and maybe a third finger on top of the clit, use long, slow strokes.  Some women may like fingertips here, some may enjoy the previously mentioned slow strokes.  If you have a partner, once you’re sufficiently aroused, this may be a good time to attempt cunnilingus.  If you don’t or he has no idea what to do, then you’re fine doing what you’re doing.  This is also when you might be interested in adding a toy to the mix.  Vibrators applied directly to the clit work well and there are several varieties that are designed especially for this use.

A clitoral orgasm has been achieved when well, it feels like it.  Usual symptoms include:  The vaginal muscles contracting rhythmically, heavier breathing reaching a climax, and shakey legs.

Vaginal Orgasms:
Also known as g-spot orgasms, these suckers are hard to get and impossible for some women.  So be warned this could be messy and take a long time and not end with awesomely sweet orgasms.  That said, let’s get started!

Your first trick here is to not use fingers with long nails.  This can lead to bleeding and freaking out at 3 am that you’re going to die.  Just trust me that it’s a bad idea.  You may want to use a toy or at least trim your nails.  Trust me.  Your g-spot can be located by inserting your fingers into your vagina and doing what is usually described as a “come hither” motion.  Curl your fingers foreward and congratulations, that’s your g-spot.  Feeling orgasmic yet?  Yeah, it’s not QUITE what the ladies’ mags usually describe.

Okay, now your most direct method is just to start massaging this area with your fingertips.  You may also have better luck if you elevate your ass end using a pillow or rolled up towels (thinking about it, towels are a VERY good idea here).  You can also get a toy that is specifically designed for g-spot stimulation.  Basically, you just keep doing this until water squirts out or your arms fall off.  I mentioned the squirting, right?  Yeah, a g-spot orgasm comes complete with expelling fluid (which is NOT urine even though a lot of guys and girls tend to think it is) from your Skene’s gland, which is analogus to a man’s prostate.  It sounds a lot easier than it is, but it’s always fun to experiment and it does feel pretty cool.

In the interest of full disclosure, I’ve only had one of these in my life when I was 13 years old and the ejaculate scared the ever loving shit out of me and kind of ruined the moment.  I came pretty damn close a second time, but had grown longer fingernails by then and became convinced I was going to die and never tried again.  Don’t worry, I plan on giving it another good shot soon.

Now, a word about toys…
You may have noticed that I mentioned using toys a lot this week.  But how do you pick a good toy?  First, all toys should be made of surgical sillicone and at the very least needs to be water resistant.  Dishwasher safe is alsays a plus, as well.  There are lots of toys that include battery packs that are separate from the vibrating unit so you can avoid electrocution during play.  And remember, if nothing else you can always use a partner’s hand.

The Basics of Masturbation

So last week, we talked about asking for what you want from your partner.  That’s an important part of any sexual relationship, and if you are incapable of doing it then you aren’t very likely to find yourself having mindblowingly good sex.  But what if you have another problem?  What if you just don’t know what you want?  Don’t worry, you’re not a total freak or prude and it’s nothing to be embarassed about.

Society as a whole doesn’t entirely understand the female orgasm or female pleasure.  We’ve based sex on reproduction and since the female orgasm isn’t necessary for reproduction it’s been tossed by the wayside.  Adding to this, there’s a social block on healthy images of female orgasms (you can see last week’s posting for more information on that) and a social stigma on girls experimenting sexually.  Once you factor in the location of the clitoris and the labia partially obstructing it, it’s easy to understand why young girls don’t necessarily understand how their bodies receive sexual pleasure (many men have stories about how they first discovered sexual pleasure accidently by having things brush against their penis or having water accidently hit it in the shower).  Many young women report not experiencing their first orgasm until they were in their late teens or 20’s.

So if you’ve gone this long without orgasms, how do you begin to understand them and have them?  Well, the thing is, everyone is different.  I can’t say, “Try this!  It’s AWESOME!” because it may not work for you.  The trick to having a satisfying sex life is to learn your preferences and to embrace them fully.  Some women get off on G-spot and penetration and for some it’s straight clit.  You may work best having a partner perform on you, you might prefer a toy, or you might just prefer good old fashioned manual stimulation.

Personally, I get off best just doing it myself with my hands.  I’m not a big fan of plastic downtown or things being too slick and smooth.  I need a lot of clitoral friction.  The Fetish Faerie is a fan of the G-spot. (Fetish Faerie’s note: I can only orgasm when I’m stroking my clit, though.)

So, if you really want to figure yourself out, you need to make a date with yourself.  Buy yourself a new toy, watch a sexy movie, draw a bath and go to town.

If you’re wanting to try clitoral stimulation, that’s the easiest one to get started with.  This should go without saying, but here’s how to find your clitoris:  insert one fingertip into your labia just outside your vagina.  Drag your finger slowly forward until you feel a bump.  That’s your clitoris.  Congratulations.

Now, if you’re going to use a toy, now’s the time to apply it.  Either apply it directly to your clit and rub it upside down or you can hold it still.  You can also insert it into your vagina for G-spot stimulation.  To find your G-spot, insert a finger into your vagina and curl it forward slightly. You’ll feel something slightly suedey.  That’s your G-spot.  Some people can have incredibly good orgasms simply from G-spot stimulation and some people can’t, so you may want to play around and see what happens.  A fair warning:  During a G-spot orgasm, you will expell a large amount of liquid.  This is not urine.  If you’re not expecting it, though, it’s really unnerving and surprising.

Next week, we’ll look at some ways to experiment and different types of toys.

The Headless Housewife

My husband would love for me to swallow. But his semen tastes like cheap dish soap with a side o’ ass and he is not willing to give up meat & beer to make his flavor less strong. Is there anything we can do to make it more tolerable? It hurts his feelings when I gag or throw up. I have tried letting him come more than once in a day, so that the second time is “less potent” in terms of flavor. It didn’t work too well. Short of getting sloppy drunk until my taste buds are numb, what can I do to give my husband a surprise?

Miss Moxie –

I’m of two minds on this. On the one side, I don’t think you should do anything you’re not comfortable with. And his reluctance to change his lifestyle habits to make it more comfortable for you tells me that it’s obviously not that important to him. On the other hand, I can appreciate the desire to do something special for your husband. There are a few things you can try, fortunately. If he’s not willing to give up meat and beer, there’s only so much you can do to make it taste better. Pineapple is the most common suggestion for people looking to sweeten their semen, but mangos, apples, grapes, melons, and cranberries are also excellent. Anything high in natural sugars, basically, will help him. It can also be helpful if he starts drinking more water (this will also help his over-all health as well as his flavors). He can also try a zinc or selenium supplement. This webpage has a nice list of things he can try, which includes what I’ve listed here.
There’s a complicated balance here between what you both want and what may be possible. You may never be able to get past the taste of his semen, but you can continue to experience a normal sex life and work around it. One thing I would recommend is asking him to taste some of it. He may be resistant to the idea, and that’s okay. But if he has an idea of the flavor, it might help him understand your visceral reaction to it. Let’s all face facts here, semen is gross. Really, really gross. The bitter salty taste has a purpose, though. Semen is a basic (in the chemistry sense of the word) solution. It is designed to help the sperm survive in the high acidity of the vagina. Now, some people (like me) prefer the acidic taste of the vagina compared to the bitter taste of semen, but it’s rather like comparing the taste of your floor to your fireplace. You probably don’t particularly want to taste either one and the best you’re going to hope for is something tolerable.
If you try all the suggestions and go as far as he can and you still can’t take the taste and it makes you want to vomit, then you’ll both have to work around that. You didn’t mention what else you’ve tried, but one thing you may want to consider is learning to deep throat (or at least get his penis past most of your tongue) before he cums. It will feel better for him and once you learn to do this and still swallow, you actually don’t taste much of anything. You can’t really breathe while you’re doing this, but chance are the orgasm in question won’t last more than a few seconds. This is my preferred method of swallowing because it keeps it almost completely out of my mouth. You can also try keeping a warm washcloth on hand and having him cum into that instead of your mouth. He probably won’t like it, but until he gets the Marilyn Manson rib removal, there won’t be a whole lot he can do for himself. And maybe you can convince him to try something extra nice for you in exchange if you manage to work past it.

Wise Dick Man –

The average male’s basic assumption is that there’s absolutely nothing that you’ll enjoy better than a mouthful of hot dick juice, particularly if said dick has been vigorously inserted into your anus first. Why do we think that way? Ask him to show you Cum Guzzling Sluts 7.
A fundamental thing you need to realise is that (and here I reveal a Great Male Secret), by and large, we’re totally clueless. Imagine that you’re dealing with a retarded five year old. Try something like “Honey, your cum makes me want to projectile vomit” or, if you wanted to be a little more subtle, “Honey, jerk off into this glass and drink it. Tell me what you think – three week-old milk or rotting calve’s liver – I can’t quite make up my mind.”

Of course that’s a little one-sided. There are few things as sweet as a good BJ, so meet him halfway once you’ve helped him to understand the problem. Miss Moxie (gods she’s hot, isn’t she? Really?) has some excellent advice about how he could move from rotting calve’s liver to freshly-picked petunias. It’d be nice if you’d give him the opportunity to try it out and see what happens. Most of us would do pretty much anything if we could be assured of a good BJ from time to time. Well – almost anything. Becoming a vegetarian is something we’d really have to think hard about. But you could certainly offer some alternatives.

If he won’t do the petunia thing, then maybe you could put up with it once a year as a birthday treat. Just as long as you’re near the bathroom. I mean who wants to mop that stuff off the walls? Alternatively, in return, demand something that you really like but that makes him want to gag – say, dinner at that new vegetarian place downtown followed by a selection from The 50 Greatest Chick Flicks of All Time.

Anyway, the important thing is that unless you tell us about the problem we’ll just assume that Cum Guzzling Sluts 7 is, as it claims to be, a documentary. “Oh yeah, baby! I just love to swallow your feces-flavored cum!”

And always remember – he’s your husband. If he doesn’t get the message, remind him of Lorena Bobbit.
PS – go to the restaurant and the movie first. If you do it the other way around it’ll be something like:
You: “Time to go, honey. Mmm. I can just taste that delicious lettuce, watercress and aubergine tartlette!”
Him: “Oh, man! Cum Guzzling Sluts 8 is on The Discovery Channel in half an hour! Sorry, babe, we’ll have to go to the restaurant and the movie tomorrow.”

G-Force Trauma

So, I have a new boyfriend, and while he’s wonderful in most aspects, the last girl he was with clearly had different needs and tastes than I do (I’m guessing she had a very sensitive G-spot, whereas I’m all about the clitoris). How can I tell him that what he’s doing is actually turning me off without a) hurting him or b) sounding like a porn star, which makes me really uncomfortable?

Miss Moxie -

This may not be what you want to hear, but this is the kind of thing you may have to have a sit down discussion about.  I know, I know.  It’s awkward and it’s uncomfortable and nobody wants to do it.  But it’s a necessary part of a relationship.  Since you said he’s a NEW boyfriend, I’ll assume you may not have that repetoir built up yet to where you’re comfortable going, “you’re doing it WRONG!” (that was a joke, please don’t ever say that to a guy except during a dominatrix fantasy or if he’s bathing your baby using a garden hose).  However, since you’re comfortable being naked and vulnerable in front of this person, you have to be open to communicating your needs.  It sucks.  The big point is that obviously somebody at some point told him that he needs to do X to please a girl when you really need him to do Y.  Now, first thing first, if you’re in any way encouraging what he’s doing, you need to stop right now.  If you’re going, “Ohhhhh baby!  That’s so good!” when he’s doing something wrong, it’s not fair to anyone because he’s just going to keep doing it and assume it works.  So if you are doing that, stop.

Now, you also might want to consider role playing.  Those who know me in real life may know that I’m a fan of role playing for communicating your sexual desires in a safe environment.  If he turns down Naughty Nurse Yolanda, it’s not really the same thing as turning down you.  I’m going to suggest that to you, actually.  The problem is, he’s obviously really committed to what he’s doing so luckily there are plenty of other options.  You might want to buy a book of sex positions.  Find something that looks like it would get you off, show it to him and go “hey, that looks like fun!  Can we try it?”  Chances are he’ll have his pants off and be across the room before you finish your sentence.  Then afterwards, make sure you go “Wow!  That was great!” and you’ll probably find yourself doing it a whole helluva lot.  There is nothing guys like more than a girl who knows what she wants and then tells him about it.  It tells him you enjoy sex and want to have lots of it with him.  If he still doesn’t get the hint, wait until he goes near your clit during sex and go “Oh I love it when you touch me there!”  He’ll probably figure out pretty damn quick what you’re talking about.  But honestly, the direct approach is usually best.  How direct?  Wait until there is no sex anywhere in sight and then ask him if there’s anything he’d like to try in bed.  Try and act a little flirty and smiley, so he thinks you’re being playful and not so he gets defensive and thinks he’s about to be criticized.  He might say yes, in which case hey, cool new stuff to try!  Usually, he’ll ask you if there’s anything you want to try.  In which case, you go, “Yeah, I think I’d like if we could try more clit stimulation.”  Then kiss him and see if you can’t get him to try it really quick.  It’s important you don’t do this immediately AFTER sex, because he’ll just take it as a criticism of what he just did.  It needs to be at a neutral moment when you won’t mind getting a little busy.  The important thing is to phrase it so that he doesn’t feel threatened or like you’re unsatisfied with your sex lives.

Unfortunately, giving a man a hint is a lot like giving a dog an inheritance if you get where I’m going here.  If you’re lucky, he’ll realize something is going on but don’t expect him to get a whole lot of use out of it.  The fact of the matter is, at some point you are probably going to have to sit him down and go, “Soooo…here’s the deal…”  This could be a weird conversation.  You need to try and be non-judgemental and use lots of “I” statements (“I’d prefer if we could focus more on my clit because the g-spot doesn’t do a lot for me.”) Fortunately, with the other hints and advice, you can probably put off this conversation until it’s a little more comfortable.  But you need to have this conversation eventually.  Yeah, it’s hard.  Yeah, it’s awkward.  But it’s like going to the dentist.  It’s uncomfortable and not cool, but eventually you have to do it and afterwards you’ll feel better.  He’ll probably wish you’d told him earlier, honestly.  That’s the great thing about guys, most of them really just want to make you happy.

Wise Dick Man –

See above and remember that you’re basically dealing with a retarded five year old. To help understand that, let me see if I can describe the male sexual experience to you:

ZOMG! VAGINA! BOOBIES! I’M COMING!!!!!”

Seriously – that’s about it. What little wisdom I’ve picked up over some three centuries of life tells me that it’s not quite like that for you – the female sexual response is much more subtle and infinitely more complex than our simple “stimulus/response” model, and it takes two things for us to even begin to realise that: a carrot and a stick. Take the carrot and coat it liberally with KY Jelly, then insert…sorry – I got distracted there for a minute.

We start from the expectation that you’re like us: “ZOMG! COCK! I’M CUMMING!” or, of course, “ZOMG! MONSTER COCK! I’M COMING THIRTY TIMES!” (See below.)

So we need to be taught. And when I say “taught” I mean in the way you’d teach a five year old. Once the sexual urge is upon us, we revert to our inner child. Well, our inner toddler is probably more accurate. Miss Moxie is right – not only do you have to have a conversation, that conversation has to go something like this:

“Honey, while you were busy blowing your load I was thinking about what shade of coral to paint my toenails. That means that your dick is less interesting to me than the difference between Hot Coral and Warm Coral.” You then need to go on to explain what a clitoris is, the meaning of foreplay, and how much fun it might be if he dressed up as Ronald Reagan. You get the idea.

His response to your gentle tutoring will tell you a lot about the potential for the relationship. One thing he’s likely to find is that there are few things as enjoyable for him as helping you to reach a screaming orgasm. Good luck.
