Our bodies can open to pleasure in layers, with some orgasms sparked from surface touch and others unfolding deep inside. External orgasms are usually triggered by clitoral stimulation that brings fast, sharp, electric bursts of sensation that spread outward. Internal orgasms emerge from deeper structures like the G-spot, cervix, or A-spot, creating waves that feel fuller and all consuming, and often more emotional.
Different types of sexual stimulation unlock different types of release. In this article, we dive into the full spectrum of orgasm and what types of touch or tools can awaken them.
What is Internal Orgasm?
For most of my life, until my late 20's I had only experienced clitoral orgasms, or "external orgasms." When I have my first g-spot internal orgasm, it was honestly a life changing sexual experience for me, where I felt orgasmic sensations of pleasure I had never felt before. It also triggered a powerful emotional release. Because the internal structures are so closely wired into the body’s emotional centers, these orgasms can release stored tension and trauma that has lodged itself in the body over many years.
An internal orgasm is a release hat comes from stimulating the erectile tissue inside the vagina, rather than only focusing on the external clitoris. The vagina is surrounded by a complex network of nerves and erectile structures that swell when sexually aroused. Through vaginal stimulation, these inner tissues can create powerful orgasms that feel very different from the sharp bursts of external climax.
The most well-known areas for internal orgasm are the G-spot, A-spot, and cervix. Each is connected to branches of the pudendal and pelvic nerves, meaning the sensations reach deep into the nervous system and often ripple through the whole body. Internal orgasms also engage the pelvic floor. As arousal builds, the muscles tighten around the vaginal walls, increasing circulation and sensitivity. When release happens, these muscles contract and relax in rhythmic surges, which can feel more expansive and longer-lasting than external climax.
What is External Orgasm?
An external orgasm is triggered by stimulation of the clitoris and the external erectile network that surrounds the vulva. The clitoris extends internally with two long crura (legs) and bulbs that run along the vaginal opening. When aroused, this entire structure becomes engorged with blood, creating heightened sensitivity.
Most women first experience orgasm through direct clitoral stimulation because the glans alone contains thousands of nerve endings, more than any other part of the body. External orgasms are usually sharp, fast-building, and focused at the surface. They often feel like a burst of electricity radiating outward, followed by strong pelvic floor contractions that release accumulated tension.
Unlike internal orgasms, which often take longer to build, external orgasms can be reached quickly through direct friction, vibration, or oral stimulation. They are especially effective when the clitoris is swollen with blood, making the nerve endings more reactive. Many women describe these orgasms as concentrated, explosive, and sometimes easier to repeat in quick succession.
The nervous system pathways involved in external orgasm also differ slightly. Clitoral orgasms are primarily carried through the pudendal nerve, sending rapid-fire signals to the spinal cord and brain. This is why the release can feel immediate and intense, with sensations localized to the clitoris, vulva, and lower pelvis.

Different Types of Orgasms

Clitoral Orgasm
A clitoral orgasm is the most common and the easiest to access for many women. The clitoris contains around 8,000 sensory nerve endings in its glans alone, with roots that extend deeply inside the pelvis. When the glans is stroked, rubbed, or vibrated, it sends rapid pulses through the pudendal nerve into the spinal cord and brain, creating intense waves of pleasure.
These orgasms are often sharp and focused, with strong pelvic floor contractions that release built-up arousal quickly. Many women describe them as fast, fiery bursts of sensation that can happen repeatedly through multiple orgasms in a short time, especially with consistent stimulation. Though clitoral orgasms are often thought of as “external,” they actually engage the entire erectile network of the clitoris, including the bulbs that swell along the vaginal opening.
Clitoral stimulation can be done with fingers, oral sex, or toys. Direct friction usually feels strongest, but many women prefer indirect touch through the hood or labia for a slower build.
Anal Orgasm
Anal orgasms come from stimulating the highly sensitive nerve endings around and inside the anus. The anal canal is connected to both the pudendal and pelvic nerves, which means the sensations can radiate deeply into the pelvis and even overlap with the pathways of vaginal and clitoral pleasure.
When the sphincter muscles are gently relaxed and stimulated, the anus can trigger orgasmic release that feels very different from clitoral climax. Anal orgasms often carry a sense of deep pressure and fullness, with strong pelvic contractions that can ripple through the rectum, vagina, and lower belly. Many women describe them as grounding and sometimes more whole-body in their intensity.
Toys like anal plugs or beads, a partner’s finger, or penetrative sex through the anus can all stimulate this response. The key is plenty of lubrication, slow build-up, and full relaxation of the anal muscles. When approached with care, anal orgasms can awaken new pathways of pleasure and amplify sensitivity in the entire pelvic region.
Non Genital Orgasm
A non-genital orgasm is an orgasmic release that happens without direct stimulation of the genitals or genital touching. The body is wired with erotic potential far beyond the clitoris and vagina, areas like the nipples, ears, inner thighs, and even the breath or mind can trigger orgasm-like rhythmic contractions and waves of pleasure.
For example, nipple stimulation activates the same brain regions as clitoral stimulation because both are linked to the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. With enough intensity, nipple play can trigger a surge of oxytocin and pelvic floor contractions that feel like a genital orgasm, even if the vagina hasn’t been touched.
Cervical Orgasm
A cervical orgasm comes from deep penetration that stimulates the cervix, the small, firm structure at the back of the vaginal canal. Cervical orgasms usually require time, trust, and a high level of sexual arousal before they become possible.
When the cervix is stimulated it can trigger sensations that radiate upward through the spine, into the chest, and sometimes through the whole body. Many women describe cervical orgasms as expansive and even cathartic. They often come with shaking, crying, or laughing as the nervous system releases built-up tension.
The nerves that connect the cervix reach directly into deep centers of the brain and body, which is why these orgasms can feel so profound. Instead of sharp bursts of release, cervical orgasms often unfold in rolling waves that keep cresting, sometimes lasting for minutes at a time.
For some women, the cervix can feel tender or uncomfortable if approached too quickly. Building arousal slowly with clitoral or G-spot stimulation before exploring cervical contact allows the tissues to soften, making these orgasms more accessible and pleasurable.
Vaginal Orgasm
A vaginal orgasm happens when the erectile tissue inside the vaginal walls is stimulated enough to trigger release. Unlike clitoral orgasms, which are sharp and surface-focused, vaginal orgasms are usually deeper and more wave-like. They come from pressure and movement along the inner walls, especially the front wall where the G-spot is located and the back wall that connects to the deeper pelvic floor.
The vagina is surrounded by an internal network of erectile tissue, including the bulbs of the clitoris and the urethral sponge. When these tissues swell with blood during arousal, they become highly sensitive to touch. Thrusting, fingers, or a curved toy can press into these areas and create rolling contractions that radiate through the pelvis. Many women describe vaginal orgasms as fuller and more whole-body than clitoral ones, often paired with intense feelings of release or emotional openness.
Perineal Orgasm
A perineal orgasm comes from stimulating the perineum, the sensitive strip of tissue between the vulva and the anus. This area is rich in nerve endings and sits right over the pelvic floor muscles, which means pressure here can create direct stimulation of both clitoral bulbs and anal nerves at the same time.
When pressed, massaged, or vibrated, the perineum can trigger a unique orgasm that feels like a cross between clitoral and anal release. The bodily sensations are often described as strong muscle contractions in the pelvic floor and a spreading warmth through the vulva and anus. For some women, perineal stimulation adds intensity to vaginal sex or anal sex, while others experience orgasm from perineal touch alone.
G Spot Orgasm
A G-spot orgasm is triggered by stimulating the G-spot, a spongy, ridged area located 2–3 inches inside the front wall of the vagina. This area is part of the urethral sponge and connected to the internal clitoral network, which means it swells during arousal and becomes highly sensitive to pressure.
When stimulated with firm, rhythmic strokes, often described as a “come-hither” motion, the G-spot can trigger a deep, throbbing orgasm. Unlike the sharp peaks of clitoral orgasms, G-spot orgasms tend to feel fuller, more pressurized, and sometimes lead to ejaculation (commonly known as squirting).
Because the G-spot takes time to become fully aroused, patience is key. Starting with clitoral stimulation to increase blood flow makes the G-spot swell and become more responsive.
What Influences Different Orgasmic Experiences?

Anatomy and Nerve Pathways
Different orgasm types depend on which nerves are activated. The clitoris is wired mainly through the pudendal nerve, giving fast, surface-level sensations. The G-spot and A-spot are tied into the pelvic nerve, which creates deeper pulsations and pressure-based release. The cervix links into the vagus nerve, a highway that bypasses the spinal cord and connects straight to the brainstem, explaining why cervical orgasms can feel so full-body and sometimes overwhelming. Anal orgasms activate both the pudendal and pelvic nerves at once, which is why they radiate through the entire pelvic floor.
Arousal and Engorgement
Just like the penis, the vagina and clitoris are erectile. Blood has to flow into the spongy tissue before sensation peaks. If arousal is cut short, the erectile tissue inside the vaginal walls, G-spot, and clitoral bulbs won’t fully swell, leaving those orgasms muted or hard to reach. When arousal is given time to ripen through extended foreplay or gradual penetration the tissue becomes engorged and orgasms reach their full intensity.
Pelvic Floor Response
Orgasm is inseparable from the pelvic floor. During climax, these muscles contract and release in rhythmic surges. Weak or overly tight muscles change how orgasms feel. Weak tone may make them shallow, while chronic tightness can block sensation entirely. Engaging the pelvic floor consciously through yoni eggs or internal massage can expand orgasmic range by restoring responsiveness in these muscles.
Nervous System State
The body cannot orgasm easily when stuck in fight-or-flight. If adrenaline is high, blood flow is restricted and the pelvic floor stays tense. In contrast, when the parasympathetic system is active blood flows freely and arousal can deepen. This is especially key for cervical and anal orgasms, which only become pleasurable when the body feels safe enough to surrender.
Tools, Angles, and Technique
The angle of stimulation changes the orgasm. A curved wand pressing into the G-spot creates a firm, massaging pressure, while a straight toy angled upward toward the cervix creates vertical depth. Anal plugs apply steady fullness, nipple clamps create sustained arousal through chest nerves, and vibrators can overwhelm nerve endings for fast clitoral release. Experimenting with tools shows which nerve clusters and tissue layers are most responsive for each woman’s body.
Female Orgasms Vs Male Orgasm
The experience of orgasm is not the same across male and female bodies. For women, orgasm is a spectrum that can arise from multiple anatomical structures, each with its own nerve wiring and pathway into the brain. For women, a vast array of orgasm types are possible because the female pelvis is built with a wide network of erectile tissue and nerve connections that activate in different ways depending on the kind of stimulation. The diversity of female orgasm lies in the body’s capacity to access multiple pathways, sometimes even blending them together.
In contrast, male orgasm tends to follow a more predictable sequence. It is closely tied to ejaculation, which is triggered by contractions in the prostate and pelvic floor that propel semen through the urethra. Most of the sensation is channeled through the pudendal nerve, producing a sharp, intense peak that ends relatively quickly. Once ejaculation occurs, men usually enter a refractory period during which the body cannot be immediately aroused again. While some men train themselves to separate orgasm from ejaculation and experience multiple climaxes, this is not the norm.
Another key difference is in the timing of arousal. Female erectile tissue requires more time to fully engorge with blood. When this process is allowed to unfold deeper orgasms become possible. If rushed, these pathways remain under-stimulated, which is one reason why women may find certain orgasms inaccessible without extended arousal. Male arousal, on the other hand, often builds more rapidly, with erection, stimulation, and orgasm following a shorter trajectory.
How To Use Our Pleasure Wands For Different Orgasm Types
Slim Style Pleasure Wand

The Slim Wand is a crystal sex toy that is best for women working toward vaginal orgasms when tightness, pain, or tension makes penetration difficult. Its slender size allows the vaginal tissues to adjust gradually, helping to retrain the pelvic floor to release and receive sensation.
Because of its smooth and narrow design, it’s also excellent for exploring anal orgasms, as the smaller girth makes it less intimidating while still engaging the rich nerve endings around the anal canal. Beginners find it especially supportive because it offers control and gentleness while still building toward deeper sexual pleasure.
Traditional Style Pleasure Wand

The Traditional Wand is designed to create vaginal orgasms through fullness and stretch. The thicker girth presses firmly against the inner walls of the vagina, stimulating the erectile tissue and pelvic floor muscles that respond best to deep pressure.
This wand also supports blended orgasms (clitoral plus vaginal) when paired with external stimulation, since the sensation of fullness increases blood flow and arousal throughout the whole pelvic region. This wand is perfect for women who enjoy the sensation of vaginal penetration similar to a larger penis or dildo.
Amrita Wand® and Venus® Wand

The Amrita Wand® and the Venus Wand® is the most effective for G-spot orgasms and squirting orgasms. The bulbous end is angled to hook into the spongy, ridged tissue of the G-spot, allowing for rhythmic “come-hither” strokes that create pressure and swelling in the urethral sponge.
As arousal builds, this stimulation often triggers strong pulsations and release, sometimes accompanied by ejaculation. The Amrita Wand® and Venus Wand® also doubles as a tool for cervical orgasms as its rounded shape can reach upward with gentle depth, awakening the cervix once the body is fully aroused.
Curve Pleasure Wand

The Curve Wand is the most versatile, supporting G-spot orgasms, cervical orgasms, and anal orgasms through its design. The curve allows for targeted pressure on the G-spot, while the length and angle make it possible to reach and stimulate the cervix with control.
It’s also highly effective for yoni de-armouring, where tender or numb spots in the vaginal walls are massaged to release tension and increase sensitivity, making internal orgasms easier to access over time. For those exploring anal play, the curved design is ideal for prostate or anal de-armouring.
Cervix Wand™

The Cervix Wand™ is the ultimate choice for cervical orgasms and deep G-spot orgasms, making it ideal for self-yoni massage. One end is bulbous, made to press into the cervix with steady pressure that encourages deep release and whole-body waves. The other end is ribbed and narrow, designed to stroke the G-spot with more texture, building arousal and making it easier to shift from G-spot orgasm into cervical climax.
Because it is made of glass or crystal, it offers firmness that penetrates deeply without collapsing under pressure, which is essential for accessing cervical pleasure. The Cervix Wand™ also supports anal orgasms and prostate orgasms due to its shape and firmness, making it a multipurpose wand for anyone wanting to explore the deepest orgasmic territory of the body.
