The Big O has been glamourised in movies and television, no doubt, but did you know that sex can be enjoyed even without the controversial climax? Yes, you heard that right! In fact, running behind an orgasm may end up doing more harm than you’d anticipate. Indianexpress.com spoke to Twinkle Gupta, certified sex therapist, Qurex to learn how you can enjoy stress-free sex.
“If you’re too focused on having an orgasm, it can actually make the sexual experience less enjoyable. This can make you feel stressed and anxious, causing you to lose touch with your partner and the moment. Instead of focusing on the end goal, try to enjoy the sensations and emotions you experience during sex,” she shared.
By shifting your focus, you can appreciate the intimacy and pleasure that sex has to offer, making it a more enjoyable and satisfying experience for both partners.
“Talk openly with your partner about your feelings and desires. This can help them understand that you want to enjoy the whole experience, not just the orgasm,” said Gupta.
“Cracking little jokes makes it more fun. Experiment with new positions, techniques, or sex toys to discover new sensations and shift your focus away from orgasm,” she added.
“While it is true that an overemphasis on orgasm can detract from the overall sexual experience, orgasms are a natural and important part of sexual experience. They can bring great pleasure and satisfaction to both partners, which can strengthen relationships and improve overall well-being,” said Gupta.
Ignoring orgasms can lead to dissatisfaction and frustration, especially for women who often experience a lower frequency of orgasm compared to men. Thus, according to Gupta, it is important to reach a balance. She suggested focusing on mutual pleasure, communication, and exploring each other’s desires.
Prioritising communication with your partner, and talking openly about what you like and dislike helps you both understand each other’s needs and desires, ensuring that you’re both on the same page.
Gupta recommended creating a distraction-free environment where you both can relax and focus on each other is crucial. This can be achieved by turning off electronic devices, dimming the lights, and finding a quiet spot where you both feel comfortable.
“Exploring each other’s bodies, including erogenous zones like the neck, shoulders, and inner thighs, can also help increase pleasure. Lastly, scheduling intimacy and prioritizing it in your relationship can help you both stay connected and focused on each other,” she said.
