Having an orgasm isn't just about pleasure - there are health benefits too. Research shows that orgasm can stimulate the body and release the feel-good hormones dopamine and oxytocin, hormones that cause a particularly pleasurable sensation.

 

'I'll take what she has,' says Meg Ryan in the famous restaurant scene in When Harry Met Sally, applauding the public outburst of the girl at the next table... and she finds us more than agreeable together, you, Meg

According to experts at The Lister Hospital (United Kingdom), 'orgasm sends signals to the brain that cause the release of oxytocin, the feel-good hormone, and dopamine.' Boosting these hormones helps relieve stress, reduce excessive anxiety and menopausal symptoms such as insomnia and hot flashes.

 

Clinical studies now speak on a scientific basis that sexual pleasure is part of our daily health and well-being. Estrogen levels increase in the body and cortisol, the stress hormone, decreases in response to sexual stimuli.

Here's the reality: while orgasms can be a great drug in their own right, there's no denying that middle-aged sex is a Gone With the Wind situation, not only because of the drop in libido but also because it can it takes longer for women after 35 to have an orgasm.

Experts advise you to take your time and try a vibrator. Dr. Harper, gynecologist and menopause expert, says: “You don't need a partner to practice and have an orgasm. Sex toys are useful, apart from being enjoyable they can be used preventively as a medical device in the sense that they help strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor.'

 

What better way to open up the conversation around female pleasure than to share some tips for your sex life? It's normal to enjoy yourself, so we wanted to give you some tips on how to explore this power with confidence.

Above all, take time to listen to your body, listen to your feelings. These are the best guide to a desire that is only yours. Also allow yourself to set your own pleasure codes

Be curious. 

The curiosity of your pleasure is a much better compass than the command to 'finish.' Furthermore, aiming for orgasm at all costs can be the cause of a mental block that prevents all pleasure.

The curiosity of pleasure goes through the curiosity of the body itself. 

  

Use Lubricant

Without lubrication, the experience will be more like sandpaper on a wooden board.

Each person produces a different amount of oil than others and also different depending on the situation. Maybe you've already felt your vaginal fluid without feeling particularly aroused, a good lube that respects the area will take the pleasure to the next level.

 

Maybe sensory stimulation is the issue? Dim the lights, put on a stick or a candle, sexy music or an episode of podcast Sensual Self with Ev'Yan Whitney..

If you're a visual type, why not try your hand at ethical porn like Erika Lust's?

If you want to let yourself be guided with full awareness, you can simply close your eyes, get under a soft duvet and let your imagination run free.

Relaxation, concentration and immersion are the key elements for a more enjoyable trip. ????
