Here some information to answers those questions: Before orgasm, alpha waves in our brains slow down. A recent documentary on the “super-orgasm” – actually multiple orgasms – found that women who had multiple orgasms had slower alpha waves than the average woman. Their brains were quieter, making more room for pleasure. Most women have the capacity to have multiple orgasms, but past research suggests only about 15% actually do. Multiple orgasms have not been studied extensively, and much of what we know comes from patients’ personal stories. There are also varying definitions of what multiple orgasms are. For example, some experts believe that multiple orgasms occur one right after the other, with little “down time” in between. Women stay aroused in between each one. Others feel that multiple orgasms can occur with more time in between. With this definition, a woman might climax once, rest a bit, then climax again minutes later. Often, women find that their second or third orgasms are less intense than their first ones. But this doesn’t mean they are any less pleasurable. For some women, multiple orgasms might have nothing to do with sex. Women with persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD) may feel sexually aroused for hours or days without any sexual stimulation. They may have several spontaneous orgasms that they cannot control within a short period of time. Culture is a huge reason behind why women may not orgasm. We know that there is a massive orgasm gap between men and women and that women are having fewer orgasms than men in all types of contexts. A lot of that is due to the way we talk about heterosexual sex and how societally we paint a picture that intercourse is the most important thing. In fact, only 21% to 30% of women orgasm through intercourse without simultaneous clitoral stimulation. Another major reason women may never orgasm may come down to psychological stressors and even environmental factors. You aren't going to be able to run as fast on a hot day as you can on a cool, clear day. It's the same with orgasms. You may not orgasm as easily when stressed out or when you're in an uncomfortable environment. There is such a strong mind-body connection and anything going on that affects our context can improve or inhibit climax — and women tend to be more sensitive to these factors. Also falling under the bracket of psychological roadblocks are a sense of feeling rushed to climax along with — or as quickly as — your male partner, which is quite the physiological challenge. Men usually orgasm within the first five to ten minutes of rapid stimulation. Women may take upwards of 30 minutes to get there. So, a lot of women who have never had an orgasm may simply have not given themselves enough time. Squirting Squirting can happen before, during, or after an orgasm There isn't enough scientific research thus far to know whether all women can squirt. Studies have found anywhere from 10 to 54% of women experience some form of female ejaculation, according to a 2013 review of the literature1. But some sex experts believe all people with vaginas can likely learn how to squirt with the right technique and under the right conditions. There are two separate types of ejaculate released by vagina owners, and one of them—the type most commonly described as "squirting"—may be something most vagina owners can do, according to Zhana Vrangalova, Ph.D., a sex researcher and professor at New York University. This type of ejaculate is thought to originate from the bladder2, and the clear and odorless fluid that's released comes out through the urethra in relatively large quantities. One 2013 study surveyed 230 women who've experienced squirting to ask how often it happened: 19% said they ejaculate daily 32% ejaculate a few times a week 28% ejaculate a few times a month 9% ejaculate once a month 12% ejaculate less than monthly The other type of ejaculation While the term "squirting" is often used to describe the clear, gushing type of ejaculate that likely comes from the bladder, the term "female ejaculation" is used to describe a second, separate type of ejaculate that's thought to originate from Skene glands. (Here's our full explainer on what squirt is if you want to get into the nitty-gritty details.) Sometimes referred to as the "female prostate3," Skene glands are located in the area around the urethra, known as the urethral sponge. The ejaculate from Skene glands is a white, milky fluid that has chemical similarities to semen. This second type of ejaculate is released in much smaller quantities, because Skene glands are quite tiny compared to the bladder, which can hold and release quite a lot of liquid. If this smaller, milkier "female ejaculation" happens without the gushing fluid from the bladder, it's possible that some women may not even notice it. Skene glands are also still a bit of a mystery themselves: There have been a couple of these anatomical studies on cadavers that have dissected that area trying to find Skene glands, and they can't really find them in everyone! So it's possible that maybe 30 or 40% of vulva owners and vagina owners don't even have them. In porn, squirting (or female ejaculation) is often so theatrical that it’s a centerpiece of the video and an entire genre. Like a human super soaker, the performer usually leaves herself and the occasional partner or partners drenched, and oftentimes, the fourth wall is broken when the camera lens is left splashed with droplets on it. During 2021, searches for squirting videos on PornHub saw a 188 percent increase in the UK and 213 percent jump in France. In the United States "squirt" jumped 17 spots and landed in the top 20 most searched words. The average amount of liquid typically ranges from 30 to 150 milliliters. Within the science (and porn) community, it’s long been debated whether or not there is a difference between squirting and peeing during sex because the liquid comes from urethra and the result differs body to body. Sometimes it can be nothing more than a wet spot on the sheets and other times it’s accompanied by a powerful orgasm, and in porn, it oftentimes is depicted like a literal vaginal geyser. So, how do porn stars make their squirt scenes look like a shaken bottle of popped champagne. Some use douches, some hydrate extra (this can cause issues and peeing as the squirt or over hydration and dizziness and vomiting). Some have to orgasm on their own and then have good communication in scenes. Squirting is very individual to the person and just like the orgasm it is a journey of self discovery and discovery none two alike. Hope this information helped answer some of your questions.
