The Hierarchy of Female Orgasms and Female Sexual Response

The Hierarchy of Female Orgasmic Response

By Jonathan Seagull

 The female sexual response and female orgasms have been a mystery for centuries. The limits and extents of the capability of women to achieve orgasms and get from sexual activity is a curious and unknown question. The research of Masters and Johnson, revealed some scientific objective physiological facts about the female sexual response in 1966 for the first time in history. However, what Masters and Johnson were proposing was that a woman can achieve orgasm by only the stimulation of clitoris, while vaginal orgasms were regarded as myths by these scientists. It has long been known that vaginal orgasms apart from clitoral orgasms also existed. Sigmund Freud had also claimed that vaginal orgasms are the real mature orgasms, while clitoral orgasms were regarded as minor phenomena that lead to vaginal orgasms by him. Further research by some scientists revealed the fact that another target erogenous spot existed in vagina, called Grafenberg's spot (G-Spot), after the name of Ernst Grafenberg who described it in early 1940's. Between 1980's and 2000's, for twenty years there was an ongoing debate about the G-Spot in the scientific circles and the public. Some people said that such an erogenous zone did not exist in most of the women, while some said that there was a sensitive area at the frontal wall of vagina just under the bladder in some women. Many scientific papers have been published debating the existence of G-Spot during the last 20 years. A British internet survey among 5000 women in 2008, revealed that 75 % of women were aware of such a sensitive area, while only the half of the group could describe the accurate coordinates of the sensitive spot. Further MR and ultrasound research also revealed the fact that the women who attained vaginal orgasms were more likely to feel and describe the G-Spot, while the women who never had vaginal orgasm never  felt such an area of pleasure. Today it is estimated that nearly 20 to 30 % of women may experience the G-Spot stimulation and sensation, since G-Spot is mostly responsible of vaginal orgasms. Interestingly, many former reports (such as Hite, Cosmo, Redbook, New Kinsey, Janus) have pointed out that only 30 to 35 % of the female population can have orgasms through intercourse, namely vaginal orgasms, while the rest (70 to 65 % of the female population) needed clitoral stimulation, near to intercourse to reach an orgasm. Thirty percent ratio is believed to be a fixed ratio of women who are capable of reaching orgasms through intercourse, a similar ratio of the possibility of having a G-spot.

In 1990's Brauer's (ESO Ecstasy Program) and Patricia Taylor (Expanded Orgasm) proposed that sexual response in human female could be extended, expanded and enhanced. Expanded orgasm, which was defined by Patricia Taylor in 1995, is still investigated by scientists nowadays. The famous zoologist and the author of Naked Ape, Desmond Morris, claimed that there are other zones and erogenous hot spots in the female genitalia in his book Naked Woman, published in 2004. Desmond Morris claims in his new book that C-Spot (Clitoris), G-Spot, U-Spot and A-Spot are the possible erogenous spots in the vagina. Lately, in the French documentary film 'Female Orgasm Explained' a new zone was reported to be discovered, calling it as O-Spot, which was responsible of anal orgasms, a sensitive area close the posterior fornix on the vaginal-rectal wall. There has been many workshops and training seminars to enhance the sexual response of females in USA, Europe, Australia and Canada between 2000-2010, where the trainers and trainees found out that actually the sexual response and orgasms of women could be extended and enhanced to a certain degree by training, as the Eastern Cultures have pointed out for centuries.

Today we live in an era of Ultra-Science, while we can detect the brain chemistry during orgasms, brain anatomy section by section by MR and fMRI. Ultra science methods and scientific articles are now pointing that Ultra-Science may lead to Ultra-Orgasms. After the book "G-Spot" by Ladas, Perry and Whipple, a new form of orgasm was also defined called as "blended orgasms", meaning the combination of both vaginal and clitoral orgasms, controlled by two separate nerves, pudental and pelvic nerves. Two nerve orgasm theory also lead to the investigation of other forms of orgasmic behavior. Status orgasmus, as first defined by Masters and Johnson in the laboratory in 1966, is being investigated nowadays; it has been reported that status orgasmus is a train of orgasms, an elongated and extended form of blended orgasms. During status orgasmus it is reported that a woman may have around 50 to 100 successive orgasms in a couple of hours. A further step with status orgasmus is the reporting of some Tantrist and Yogic women claiming that they can attain trains of orgasms lasting for the durations starting form a couple of minutes to hours.

  Also some are mentioning in most of the Tantra books about an orgasmic state of Cosmic Orgasms, an orgasmic state defined long ago under the effects of LSD and LSD orgasms in the 1960's, during the psychedelic explosion age. During Cosmic Orgasms, the orgasmic state is not only continuous, but also there is a form of altered states of consciousness where the women feels the orgasm in every inch of her body, even in every cell, and there is a unification feeling with a hypothetical Universal Entity, they call the 'Cosmic Consciousness'! Cosmic Orgasms are beyond the scopes of scientific research since they are the subjective feelings of certain people, and deterministic experiments cannot be made on this area for the time being.

 If we need to classify the female orgasm using certain parameters, the easiest form is the clitoral orgasm, while nearly 70 to 90 % of women can attain, at least through masturbation. Vaginal orgasm is said to be more intense than clitoral orgasms and spreading to the whole body, as a second step in female orgasmic staircase. Blended orgasms are said by many women who experience it, to be more satisfactory and much more intense than the vaginal or clitoral orgasms alone. Vaginal orgasms can only be attained in 30 % of the female population and when the PC-muscle is developed and strengthened this ratio may rise. Among the women with trained PC-Muscles the ratio of attaining a vaginal orgasm goes up to 85-90 %. This is very promising, because this will mean that the women who develop their PC-muscles and sexual response may experience vaginal orgasms, even though they don't feel any G-Spot. The instruments that train the PC-Muscles have been selling enormously during the last five years (2005-2010) all over the world. The research and global orgasm experience points out that the female sexual response can be extended-expanded and enhanced to certain extents in some women, or limitlessly in a minority of women.

Blended orgasms are believed to occur in the 15-25 % of the female population after proper education and training. Status orgasmus, a further step of blended orgasms, is believed to occur in 8 to 12 % of the female population, if proper educations, workshops and training is taken.

Expanded Orgasms are the further step for status orgasmus, or Expanded Orgasms are repetitive and continuous forms of status orgasmus. At the last step we may call the Cosmic Orgasm, which has not been investigated by scientific methods properly. In female sexuality there are continents to discover and unravel, so we don't know what other steps we can include in the staircase of orgasm in between or as the top step. The more we discover about the female sexuality and female orgasms, the more limitless the female sexual response is becoming. However, for an average woman it should not be forgotten that the best is the enemy of good! An average woman may enhance her sexual response to a certain degree, however the female genitalia is not the only organ to train, but the most important sexual organ is the BRAIN, that triggers each orgasm, whether it is ordinary and regular or expanded.
