Five Most Common Myths About Orgasm That We Need To Burst
Orgasms seem like the easiest feat to achieve, when we first begin to learn about sex. All the eroticas, movies, shows and porn even – mislead all of us. Sure, there are some people who find reaching their climax as the simplest thing in this world. However, for most others this is definitely not the case. Not achieving an orgasm can lead many of us to self-doubt and guilt, because real life sex contradicts what is depicted in books, movies etc.
And in the case of climaxes, there are tons of myths floating around. Today we decided to burst some of the most common orgasm myths. Read on to understand what these misconceptions are and to ditch them for a wonderful sex life.
Myth 1: You will orgasm every time you have sex
But according to Rachel Hoffman, a sex therapist, orgasms and sex don’t always go hand in hand.
“The emphasis on an orgasm creates an abundant amount of anxiety in relationships and in sexual interactions,” Hoffman told the INSIDER. “We need to shift the focus [in sex] away from orgasm to pleasure. Many individuals might feel a great deal of pleasure but not reach orgasm.”
Masturbation and foreplay can also lead a person to orgasm. It’s not mandatory that a person should climax whenever they indulge in penetrative sex. Orgasms do not decide if the sex sessions you took part in are a success or failed attempts. It also does not mean that you aren’t experiencing any pleasure.
Myth 2: Simultaneous orgasms are mandatory
We all imagine the wegasm, the term used for simultaneous orgasm, as this loud passionate romantic event; a hundred percent sign that your partner and you are in complete sexual sync. That’s exactly what movies and other forms of media depict. Although in reality, the wegasms are not something that occur every time. If anything, they are quite rare. They definitely don’t happen because of the stars aligning says Debby Herbenick, Ph.D. Debby is the author of The Coregasm Workout, and a professor at Indiana University.
She said, “It’s usually more about one person doing everything they can to hold off a little more and then to come”, to the Women’s Health mag.
There is no need to get hung up on this idea of climaxing together.
