A study claim to have identified three types of orgasm know by fair sex , using information collected by a " biofeedback vibrator " . Letting participant on the loose with a Bluetooth - connected " Lioness " dildo , researchers were able to classify orgasms into three distinct types : the waving , the avalanche , and the volcano .
Lioness , who make the vibrators , had previously identified these three types of orgasmback in 2017 , but this new inquiry published inThe Journal of Sexual Medicineappears to corroborate their claims . The small - scale survey asked 54 woman who use the Lioness vibrator to allow their onanism data to be collected during masturbation precondition and a " control " circumstance where the dildo was enclose but no self - stimulus took position .
" For the orgasm conditions , women were instruct to self - excite to one orgasm and then turn over the unit off two minutes after orgasm was attained , " the squad wrote in their study . " This allow a unreasoning rater to determine when orgasms occurred in the outputs and to abide by the case of variety in pelvic floor contractions that preceded and followed each climax . "
The sex toys have sensors that find air pressure , as well as instruments to measure temperature , a gyro , and an accelerometer , all of which get transmitted to a server via Bluetooth . The datum call for appears to show the three type of orgasm antecedently described by Lioness :
" A ' wave ' ( a curt fit of pelvic contraction that were preceded by an entraining regular recurrence of pelvic level tension and release ) , a ' volcano ' ( orgasm premise by increasing upward pelvic flooring tensity ) , and an ' avalanche ' ( high pelvic floor basal contraction maintained throughout self - stimulation , but a downward muscular contraction profile during and after orgasm ) . "
User - collected descriptions of the three type of orgasm amass by Lionessdescribe them in more particular . The " volcano " orgasm is reported as " almost every muscle in my physical structure tense up as the pleasure greatly intensifies , and then there ’s a huge waiver . I know it ’s over when I can relax , " and the " avalanche " as “ my soundbox startle shaking , and then I suddenly detonate into an orgasm . My soundbox snaps and sort of spasms ( a serious spasm ) over and over again until it finally commence to calm down down before finally letting my muscular tissue rest . ”
The most common eccentric experienced by the women was the moving ridge ( 26 out of 54 ) , followed by the avalanche ( 17 out of 54 ) , and then the vent ( 11 out of 54 ) . According to Lioness , the data picture that women only live one type of climax .
" Someone with a vent sexual climax wo n’t also have an avalanche climax , " they wrote in 2017 . " That ’s not to say that have multiple patterns is impossible ( you never know ! ) , but so far , we have n’t had a case of someone having multiple patterns or switching pattern , even over long time of data .
