How to Have Multiple Orgasms (Even If You’ve Never Had One Before)

Multiple Orgasms Are Real—Here’s How to Make Them Happen

Dear reader, if you’ve ever read about someone having an orgasm... then another... and then three more like some kind of clitoral wizard-queen only to look down at your own still-confused vagina and sigh loudly—you’re not alone. And spoiler? You’re not broken. Whether you’ve struggled to reach orgasm in general or you always stop after the first (and sometimes anticlimactic) peak, multiple orgasms aren’t just for porn stars and unicorns. They’re a real, achievable possibility for most people.

With the right mindset, proper techniques, and most importantly, the right pressure-free support, you or your partner can achieve it too. And if you’ve never had an orgasm before? Don’t click away. This is just as much for you, with gentle, curious guidance to help usher you into the wonderful world of post-orgasmic aftershocks and pleasure waves. Let’s get into it. Slowly. Rhythmic. With intention.

What Are Multiple Orgasms? And Can Anyone Have Them?

Multiple orgasms are successive or repeated orgasms that happen over the course of a sexual session, without needing a complete reset between orgasms. The first one hits. Then another flickers up moments later. Then another. Sometimes they get stronger. Sometimes they ripple. And sometimes they surprise you entirely.

While most cis men experience a refractory period (a built-in cooldown time where arousal temporarily shuts down), many vagina-having bodies don’t require the same break and can be built for more. Whether you’re working with a clit, a G-spot, a cervix, a perineum, nipples, or some combo of all of the above, you’ve got layers of pleasure that often go untapped.

The good news? Multiple orgasms are a skill, not a superpower. And like any skill, it gets better with mindful practice, patience, and letting go of performance pressure.

First, Let’s Talk About Orgasming at All

If you’ve never had an orgasm before, don’t panic. You’re not late—you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. Orgasms aren’t a finish line; they’re a response. Most people who struggle to orgasm are dealing with a mess of distractions: body image worries, pressure to perform, partners who rush, cultural messaging that shames sexuality, or just not enough good info about how their beautiful body works.

Start by exploring alone. Use your hands (or a toy) with warm lube. Think of it as a curious exploration, not "trying to orgasm." Focus on what arouses you mentally, not just physically—some people need fantasy, erotica, porn, a spicy memory, or a favorite scene from that HBO drama you’ll never admit to rewatching 12 times.

Once you start learning what builds arousal, you’ll become more aware of the signals... and from there, the possibility of orgasm becomes real. One day it’ll hit. And when it does, we keep going. That’s where the fun starts. However, dear reader, no two people are the same. Some vaginas get so sensitive after orgasm that the idea of another might be a turn-off to you or your partner. Sometimes we get a bit selfish when we want to see our partner have the best sex of their lives, but remember this: it’s not about you. And the best lover isn’t necessarily the one who makes you climax the most.

Try This: Tips for Having Multiple Orgasms

#6 Reframe the First Orgasm

Most people finish and stop. But the key to experiencing another one is treating the first orgasm as the beginning, not the end. Right after climax, don’t roll over or grab a tissue. Ride the waves. Keep touching. Breathe into the sensitivity. Often, the body wants more.

#5 Don’t Rush the Reset

You (or your partner) might feel super sensitive post-orgasm. That’s okay. Back off from direct pressure and try broader touch. Kiss their inner thighs, change the vibe, switch from vibe to fingers or mouth. Let arousal build again without panic.

#4 Try Blended Stimulation

Multiple orgasms are more likely when you play with multiple pleasure centers. Vibrator on your clit during G-spot play? Yes please. Nipple stimulation while stroking your vulva? An entire symphony of sensation. Helping your body hit different pleasure notes at once can result in rolling or stacked orgasms.

#3 Build Through Edging

Edging (teasing right up to orgasm, then backing off) expands blood flow and raises overall arousal levels. After edging three or four times, the eventual orgasm often sets you up for stronger, more repeatable climaxes.

#2 Keep the Mind Turned On

Don't go cognitive dark after the first one. Keep fantasy alive. Dirty talk to yourself or your partner. Pull up a go-to erotic memory. Keep the gas on in your brain while your body pulses.

#1 Talk to Your Partner (And Yourself)

If you want to try this with someone else, tell them: “Keep going—I want to see if I can have another.” Let them know you’re looking to explore, not perform. And don’t be afraid to say, “This feels like too much…I need a minute,” either. Communication is foreplay. And after-play. And mid-play.

Common Myths About Multiple Orgasms

Only some people can have them.

Nope. Most vagina-owners have the potential, even if they haven’t experienced them yet.

It has to happen fast.

Wrong. Some folks experience multiple orgasms over 30-60 mins of casting, teasing, and slow waves. It’s not always a machine-gun climax setup.

It's always more intense.

Not necessarily! Some are deep and transcendent. Others feel more like gentle aftershocks. They’re all valid.

Gender-Inclusive and Kink-Friendly Notes

For trans or nonbinary folks: Your orgasm experience may be complicated by dysphoria, hormone shifts, or language around bodies. You’re not excluded. Take what serves you and build a pleasure practice that centers your joy and autonomy.
For kink lovers: Orgasm control, edging, submissive training, or overstimulation play can support multiple orgasms.

With mindfulness, patience, fantasy, and the right touch, multiple orgasms can go from mystery to memory. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be present.
