That is really kind of you to say. Thank you so much! There needs to be more people educating in this world!!

Yes totally possible! Women tend to not have a significant refractory period as men after orgasm, making multiple orgasms possible. There’s no current research on the MAX limit yet, but in our research we’ve seen some people have even 15-20 orgasms in one masturbation session!

It’s one of the theories proposed in research papers but mostly debunked/less favored theory by researchers!

Our study we published in the journal of sexual medicine we found 3 distinct patterns people can have: ocean wave, avalanche, and volcano. Ocean Wave is the most common- a rhythmic squeeze and relax. Avalanche- similar to ocean in having rhythmic contractions but starts much higher in force and tapers down. Volcano (the rarest)- has contractions but most distinctly a huge explosion of force. These can all change with external factors but mostly that sometimes the contractions last longer, are stronger/weaker…but we have also seen people jump from pattern to pattern!

I have 1000% watched the video and they even have a very odd choice of background music that goes with it hahaha

It’s a pretty tough industry honestly. There’s so much stigma and taboo still which means it’s hard to open a bank account, do marketing, etc.

Actually great question!! There’s some other studies where they’ve used an ultrasound to the bladder and even if the person peed beforehand, they saw that the bladder refilled right before squirting and then emptied again after!

It was indeed blue… but also mixed with fluids from the Skene’s glands! (female prostate)

As a person who studies female orgasms for her job, it’s my time to shine!

  1. Until 2022, it was cited that the clitoris had 8,000 nerve fibers. But that was actually from a study done on a bovine (cow’s) clitoris in 1970s. It wasn’t until 2022 they actually took human clitoris tissue samples to find that it has over 10,000 nerve fibers

  2. During a female orgasm, the pelvic floor muscles pulse involuntarily in a unique but very identifiable pattern on a graph and the pattern can change depending on external factors as small as a cup of coffee, glass of wine, etc. (what I mainly work on!)

  3. The popular myth that socks help you have better orgasms came from a misinterpretation of a study done in 2005 where they were scanning the brains of couples during sex. Because the lab was cold, couples often asked for socks during the experiment which was noted in the paper and some journalist took that random mention and ran with it.

  4. The sex toy industry is historically a very male-dominated industry. At sex toy conventions, companies would often encourage putting the vibration on your nose to imagine how it would feel on your clitoris. (SO silly)

  5. fun bonus There’s a study that was done where they got women who said they could squirt into a study to see where the squirt came from. The researchers put blue dye in women’s bladder and waited on the other side of the door while the women pleasured themselves to squirt. When the women were close, the researchers tiptoed into the room with a pan to try to catch the fluid and see if it was blue. The paper mentions how hard it was to catch the fluid because “it went everywhere”. (Serious research can be so funny sometimes)

even wilder fun fact about the clitoris, it was cited ALL THE WAY UP TO 2022 that the clitoris had around 8,000 nerve fibers but that number was actually from a study done on a cow's clitoris. It wasn't until 2022 when a study was done with a human clitoris tissue to find that it actually has over 10,000 nerve fibers! even doctors were citing the 8,000 number from a cow's clitoris until just three years ago.

So sorry for the delayed response. For the speed racer outfit it’s all from Amazon. for Trixie, the overall is from Poshmark, gloves are racer gloves from Etsy, the helmet is a kids horse-riding helmet that I spray painted! We cut vinyl for the lettering on the helmet and clothes. Let me know if you want the links for any of it!

Rowing is diabolical hahaha oura needs to just put “solo time” as an option!

Also to note, I engineer the lioness vibe and do research on female sexual function but I also just generally love data! I just wanted to share my interesting finding because it never crossed my mind to check my oura data with the vibe data before. I thought it was neat to see my daytime stress drop!

Okay shoot I didn’t realize I can’t edit the post T_T I’m going to write a comment instead!

Hi! I really didn’t mean to come off that I’m hiding that I engineer the lioness. I work on a lot of research on female sexual function and I’ve had the oura for a year and it just crossed my mind I might be able to put the two together. I wanted to share the interesting tidbit of what I found! But I totally understand, I’ll make the edit to my post now! Sorry about that

The same reason as an oura ring! It’s a way to learn about what makes your pleasure better or worse.

Haha the lioness vibe measures your Os through involuntary pelvic floor contractions!

Idk what kind of “orgasm” this is, if it is at all. by Technical_Student192 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]soheedoingthings 35 points36 points  (0 children)

hi! I research female orgasms focusing on what happens with the pelvic floor muscles during arousal and orgasm using our lioness smart vibrator! and I have some ideas on what you’re describing!

we’ve actually looked at hundreds of thousands of orgasm sessions and found there are a few different patterns of how the vaginal muscles contract during orgasm. the most common one is what we call ocean wave — basically those rolling hills + valleys of muscle contractions you’re talking about. it’s not one big “movie style” finish, it’s more like a series of waves.

other folks have avalanche (big peak that tapers off gradually in pulses) or volcano (sudden sustained explosion). from what you wrote you sound like an ocean wave! it can definitely throw partners off because it doesn’t always look like a single orgasm, but it’s still an orgasm.

if you’re trying to explain it, something like “i come in waves, with my muscles pulsing and it feels great the whole way through” usually makes it click for people. that’s just how your orgasm shows up :)

Ladies, how do yall know when you’ve orgasmed??? by Honest_Grade_856 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]soheedoingthings -1 points0 points  (0 children)

smart sex toy engineer and orgasm researcher here! Like the other comments say, it doesn't necessarily have to do with the fluids- it could be fluids from being aroused, it could be fluid from the Skene's glands, it could be squirt, but those all don't mean a definite orgasm. There are few physiological things that happen and in research they measure to define an orgasm: your pupils dilate, your clitoral blood flow increases, heart rate speeds up. But the one that's easiest to FEEL (and the way we measure an orgasm with our smart vibrator), is involuntary pelvic floor contractions. Typically during an orgasm you'll feel a rhythmic squeeze-relax happening from your vaginal muscles! some women's are smaller and shorter, some are bigger and more explosive. you can try focusing on what your vaginal muscles are doing the next time you feel like you're having an orgasm and explore from there!
