Beats per minute, beats per afternoon

I have tried everything, but have never had a multiple orgasm. After I cum I am so sensitive I can't even touch it.
But I don't feel like I am missing anything, as long as I am happy satisfied and smiling.

[Yup, for all the emphasis on multiple orgasms in porn and popular, more than half my partners have been one-big-boomers. --fl]

I'm very fortunate that my wife has multiple orgasms. Some might regard it to be over-rated but from my point of view it is wonderful. I don't know about when she's on her own, but when she masturbates when I'm with her she will normally stop at one, but will sometimes go on to more.

It is possible for men to have muliple orgasms if you divorce ejaculation from orgasm as explained here.

[Hi Ed. I don't think it's overrated so much as overreported. I also have those little mini-multiple orgasms. I think the big secret to that is paying attention. The more you notice them the better they feel. Thanks. --fl]

This is going to sound terrible, but when I'm doing it myself, I'm usually going for a "quick fix" and aim for one big one. But then, maybe that's because I'm doing it myself and know how to get there.

It's when I've got an "asistant" that the "road" becomes a lot longer and I end up making lots of little "stops" . Which is just as good and often more completly satisfying in the end.

[Hi Shay, I really, *really* don't think that sounds terrible at all. There's not really a wrong way to do it (though some might be better than others) as long as you get what you came for. And yeah, almost everything about sex is different with a partner (and there some parts might be better than others too.) --fl]

I must be lucky, although I believed every woman possessed the ability to cum over and over again.

I have for as long as I can remember been able to multiple orgasm.

It can be best described as riding the waves, you build and peak, then you reach a trough and begin to rise again.

The whole experience is very pleasurable, ecstatic in fact.

[Hi Suze. Yeah, I've heard that every woman could (Pop sex doctor David Rubin wrote a best seller back in the 1970s called "Every Woman Can.") In practice it doesn't always happen that way. Years ago I was corresponding with a professor in central Canada who said the secret for her, and many of her acquaintances, was practicing after taking canabis. Once she got the hang of it she didn't need to smoke rope anymore to get there. Personal data point on that: I noticed a big drop off in multiple-orgasm partners after around 1980, which coincided with a change of social scenes that included far fewer pot users. So maybe so, maybe no. Note #1: I haven't smoked the stuff for nearly 30 years and I'm not recommending it one way or another to anyone else. Note #2: plenty of people can do it without a chemical boost. My friend was referring strictly to people for whom it didn't come naturally. --fl]

It is a curse in some ways to have multiples, because one is NEVER enough for me. I am greedygreedygreedy.

Just in the past several months I've found that if I keep on goinging, I'll eventually have one HUGE one...after that, I am dead to the world.

But that's only happened alone so far--never yet with a partner.

[Thanks, AG. The Girl With A One Track Mind once said that if she had a penis she'd never leave the house because she'd just sit there playing with it. I've always thought if I could have multiple orgasms I'd never leave the house either. Of course I have a penis and so I take it for granted. I was motivated to ask my question because I wondered if the same thing applied to multiples. (Remember, what I don't know about sex could fill a book. What I incorrectly think I know about sex would fill an encyclopedia. So I've got to ask a lot of seemingly obvious questions.) Thanks again. --fl]

I have never had a multiple orgasm while having sex, but I have had more than three orgasms during the day. I often wonder how many I could have in one day, throughout the day??

Wonderful pictures...

Shelby

[Thanks, Shelby. You remind me that our definitions of multiple orgasms, and our too-great focus on orgasms in general, tend to obscure sex as an overall experience. At least as interesting a question is how soon or how often we wish to resume afterwards. Thanks. --fl]

For a long time, I could hardly orgasm at all, let alone have multiples. But I am living proof that practice makes perfect, and perseverance pays off! :)

But to the question, when I'm on my own, it depends entirely on my mood, the time (i.e. commitments) and certainly the level of satisfaction of my orgasm whether I stop with one or keep on trucking. So I guess my answer is that it varies... a lot. Hmm, seems like an unsatisfactory answer, but an honest one at that. anna:)

[Hi Anna. You know, you're right. I apologize for sounding as if I expected a blanket answer. Of course mood and circumstance is a huge factor. Also I'm glad to hear persistence paid off. --fl]

Well, if by multiple you mean clitoral, and i think that's what most people think of immediately, then no. And i really don't care to, particularly. HOWEVER, often, my h will get me off clitorally with either mouth or hands,then i have another series of really wonderful 'vaginal' or G-spot orgasms that are delightful in an entirely other way. When on my own, i generally just go for one really nice big one, then roll over and take a nap, lol.222

[Oh yeah, naps after. That's one benefit of the (one) big bang experience, and a big benefit of going it alone. Insatiability has it's own charms as well. I remember an extremely long evening with a ravenous partner who, after many hours, was content (or resorted to) grinding herself against the palm of my hand as I drifted in and out of sleep after she'd given me four orgasms and I'd given her... lots... sometimes dozens and hour. When she finally coaxed me to a fifth it was rending and transcendent. I didn't roll over and fall asleep after because I was too drained to roll. (My only excuse was that I hadn't rolled over after the previous four.) --fl]

I never had more than one orgasm until I had The Biker. I think much of it is psychological and not purely physiological. I was never really in love before and the “love factor� has to have something to do with it. Also, The Biker took (and takes) the time to get to know what is satisfying to me. After saying that, when The Biker is watching I go for the first explosion and that is it, because I know that The Biker will bring me to orgasm later, however when I am alone, I “work� for the other wave of orgasms that comes after that initial pleasure.

The Teacher

[That sounds wonderful, Teacher. Thanks. --fl]

Yes I masturbate. Yes, I try and go for at least three per session. One is usually not enough and the second one is often more intense if I time it right.
Goose

[Funny, Goose, you know? For some reason I never imagined you wouldn't masturbate. Some people I imagine never do but never you. I know what you mean about timing for intensity though I usually have to work it all into one. Thanks! --fl]

Like Shelby, I can have multiple orgasms in a day, but so far only when I masturbate. I've been unfortunate enough never to have had a man willing to take the time to ensure that I have an orgasm with him (and yes, that includes my husband). Pure selfishness on their part? Maybe; definitely a lack of attentiveness to his partner (and in the current case, his wife).

On the other hand, though, he won't be here forever (big age difference) and I've already got someone in mind who most definitely pays attention to his partner - and we're patiently waiting to get together; so there's hope yet for this Lady to have an orgasm (or more) while with the man of her choice.

[I'm more sanguine about men's intentions. Steff of Cunting Linguist observed that it takes most girls 13-14 years to give themselves orgasms. Whether that's fair it's certainly the case that it generally takes men a long time to figure out how to do it even when when they and their partners communicate and cooperate well. That said, I'm perfectly willing to believe that a partner who predates the sexual revolution as yours does might not ever get it that he's supposed to help. One way or another I'm sorry he hasn't made the effort -- giving partners orgasms is gratifying in its own right and I'm sorry he, and you, are missing out. Take care. --fl]

I always go for multiples...I'm greedy and not satisfied with one.

[Nothing greedy about preferring to feel satisfied, Challenge. Good for you. --fl]

It depends on how horny I am, but usually I masturbate at least twice, and often several times. This could be over the course of anything from ten minutes to a whole morning or afternoon, if nothing else needs attending, so to speak. Hehe.

Each time, the wave is bigger and the orgasm harder and longer, until at last, satisfaction is complete.

It's definitely one of the perks of being female! ;)

DTG xxoo

[Yep, it's a perk alright. And sometimes it's, um, hard being a man. :-) --fl]

It depends on my mood, really. Sometimes I am just wanting to get off for pretty utilitarian purposes. In that case one will suffice. However, there are certainly times where one isn't enough and I have 2 or 3. I depends on what I have as motivation at the time.

[Thanks, Ellie. --fl]

Having been up to my ears (ankles behind my ears?!) in multiple orgasms over multiple days and constantly wanting more, I find myself without a partnered outlet for a few days. This is an excellent opportunity to wank and think. When I masturbate, I have 2-4 orgasms, usually. Depends, but that's about average. I think I get bored with the feel of my skin and not someone else's; I get off, smile and go to sleep. The difference in my orgasms, I think, is this: Alone, I know exactly what works and so the element of surprise (gasp...) is often missing. When I'm with a partner, I'm always guessing. The psychological thrill of giving up control overtakes me. I come harder and wetter when someone's there to hold me up.

[I know what you mean about the importance of skin-on-skin contact and about the element of surprise and/or suspense. Personally I come much harder by myself, but the overall experience with someone else is always way, way better. Thanks, Madeline. --fl]
