Are there Clitoral and Vaginal Orgasms?
Descriptions of different types of orgasms, like definitions of orgasms are far from exact. There are no standard or universally identified types of orgasms and when you read about different styles or types of orgasms you are really just reading someone’s description of what they have either experienced themselves or observed in others.
To make matters more complicated, most of the “types of orgasm” you read about these days are coming from someone trying to sell you a book, a toy, or a sexual lifestyle.
Truly my least favorite type of orgasm is the “fad orgasm.” These are the orgasms created for marketing purposes to sell a book, DVD, or sex toy, which may be true for the one “sexpert” who is telling you about them, but may not ring true for you or anyone else.
Rather than thinking of orgasms like products you can buy that come in economy, medium, or deluxe, I prefer to think of orgasms like snowflakes; no two are alike, they’re free, they melt in your mouth, and not even the weather forecast can predict when they’ll come.
Here are some ways people have distinguished types of orgasms.
Clitoral versus Vaginal Orgasms
This distinction was popularized by Sigmund Freud, who linked orgasm to our psychological development.
A clitoral orgasm is brought about by clitoral stimulation and a vaginal one through vaginal penetration. Freud argued that clitoral orgasms were characteristic of the young and immature, and vaginal orgasms represented the healthy female sexual response. As such, a woman who could only have orgasms from clitoral stimulation was stuck in her development. This theory has been largely discounted, although there are still a few curious (and not surprisingly male) researchers desperately clinging to the idea. An additional problem with this distinction is that it doesn’t describe how the orgasms feel or what their detailed physiological or psychological effects are, it focuses on the method of achieving orgasm.
In Orgasms for Two, the wonderful, and highly recommended follow up to her groundbreaking book Sex for One, Betty Dodson offers a practical breakdown of nine different types of orgasms, seven of which are listed below.
