For many women, multiple orgasms seem like an elaborate urban legend.
Everyone knows a friend of a friend of a friend who can have six orgasms in a row, but realistically, most of us are chuffed if we achieve just ONE climax per sex session.
But research suggests if you have long given up on the possibility of an orgasm marathon, you may have thrown in the towel too early.
Apparently, it's all in the approach.
Many women (quite logically) imagine that the best way to achieve their second and third orgasm is to use the same method as their first successful orgasm.
Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?
Wrong.
Often, following the initial orgasm, the clitoris is far too sensitive to touch, let alone attempt to stimulate again.
Lydia Daniller, co-founder of website OMGYes, told Cosmopolitan.com:
"Something we heard was that a lot of women felt they couldn't have multiples because right after that first orgasm, their clits were super sensitive".
Instead, she recommends stimulating your labias and squeezing them together in a sort of "clit sandwich" as a gentler approach.
Because the area is already on high-alert, this should be enough stimulation to achieve climax for round two and three.
Best of luck.
