5 Easy Techniques to Help Women Orgasm Faster

Make foreplay a priority.

If you're struggling to orgasm with penetrative sex, you aren't alone. Most women orgasm solely through clitoral stimulation, and that kind of play often takes a back seat during intercourse.

Slow things down by spending more time on foreplay. It'll help you get aroused, you'll produce more natural lubricant (a.k.a you'll get 'wetter') and you'll improve intimacy in your relationship.

"Sex play can be just as gratifying as the rest of sex. In fact, it can increase anticipation and spontaneity so that arousal and orgasm are improved, while the bonding hormone oxytocin gets released through extended touch," Dr. Kat Van Kirk, a licensed marriage and sex therapist, tells Bustle. "Oxytocin increases your sense of connection and overall wellness."

See, this orgasm will make you healthier!

Use lube.

Seriously, don't skip this step.

Though many women feel ashamed to admit they need this external lubrication (likely thanks to the men who put them down for using it), a little bit of jelly can take 'meh' sex to mind-blowing sex. The reality is that most women can't produce enough natural lube on their own.

Using a silicone-based lubricant can also prevent microtears in the vagina and make sex more enjoyable for both partners as it reduces friction. Taking the pressure off your mind to ignore the slight uncomfort lube-less sex makes you feel, this new slippery sensation will make orgasm much easier.

Explore multimedia.

If you need to boost your libido fast for a quickie or solo session, a little visual or audio inspiration can turn up the heat.

Whether you read a little erotica, watch an adult film or jot down a fantasy of your own, stimulating your mind with sexual thoughts can help you shake the stress or distractions keeping you from reaching your own sexual peak.

There's nothing taboo about watching other people get it on. And if you're shy about your interests when it comes to adult movies, know that women watch female on female videos most often.

Show him, don't wait for him.

If your struggle to orgasm is thanks to the less-than-stellar touch of your partner, it's time to put your needs first and speak up. Cut out all the fool-proof hacks you use to fake your orgasm so as not to hurt his feelings, and let's start teaching him exactly how it should be done.

Whether you place his hand over yours as you touch yourself, use a toy to show him how you like the speed and rhythm or you give yourself some extra manual stimulation during sex, don't be afraid to let him know exactly how to turn you on.

Don't be ashamed to take pleasure into your own hands; let's face it, you know your way around a vagina better than your guy ever will.

Switch up your technique.

If you think you know the 'best' way to get yourself off but you aren't feeling the thrills of regular orgasms, it's time to switch up your approach. It turns out that there are actually 12 techniques for masturbation, according to OMGYes' courses.

A few of the women's pleasure tutorials include some top-rated techniques you may already use, but a few are next-level tactics that'll rock your world if you can master them.

Of these approaches to orgasm is the 'blending' technique in which you stimulate both your clitoris and g-spot simultaneously. As you bring yourself closer to orgasm via one method, stop and pleasure yourself (or have your guy pleasure you) the other way. Teasing yourself with these varying techniques will heighten your sexual arousal and when you let yourself enjoy both sensations together, your orgasm will come very quickly.
