Many men are clueless about the various ways in which they can help their partner experience an orgasm. Even women harbor wrong beliefs, and often spread these wrong beliefs to other people. In this post, we look at five common myths about female orgasms.
Myth: Women can only reach orgasm through vaginal intercourse
Fact: If the sexologists are to be believed, only one in three women tends to achieve orgasm during vaginal intercourse. Others can only reach the Promised Land through either through oral stimulation or by hand or through clitoral stimulation. What we need to remember is an orgasm is reached at the peak of sexual pleasure and can be achieved in various different ways. It’s also important to remember that achieving an orgasm has nothing to do with a woman’s emotional maturity or mental health. Read more sex without a penis and how it’s possible.

Myth: Vibrators can replace men
Fact: Sexual aids, such as vibrators tend to help a lot in upping the sexual performance of a man or a woman, but this in no way means they are a replacement for a male sexual partner.
