When we talk about getting more present in your sex life, we usually emphasize getting out of your head and into your body.\u00a0 <\/span>Increasing <\/span>bodily presence<\/span><\/a> is essential for feeling more pleasure and safety in your sex life.

What\u2019s a Mindgasm?<\/b><\/p>\n

A mindgasm is an orgasm that is indeed all in your head. It\u2019s a way of inducing orgasm without ever touching other erogenous zones like the vulva, clitoris, nipples, or rectum. It\u2019s basically an orgasm without physical stimulation.\u00a0 <\/span>One <\/span>study<\/span> in the 1990s observed ten women that claimed to be able to have mental orgasms. <\/span><\/p>\n

Researchers asked these women to pleasure themselves using only their minds, and the results were pretty astounding.\u00a0 <\/span>During their hand-free self-pleasure sessions, researchers found that the women in the study had virtually the same physiological changes when they self-pleasured with their minds versus when they actually touched their genitals. They measured this by looking at their pupil diameter, blood pressure, heart rate, and pain threshold.\u00a0 <\/span>While you don\u2019t need a scientist to validate what you feel in your own body, for these women their mental orgasm experiences were confirmed through actual physical markers \u2013 that\u2019s pretty astounding!<\/span><\/p>\n

You Might Have Had a Mental Orgasm Before<\/b><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve most likely experienced one at one point in your life. If you\u2019ve ever had an orgasm in a sex dream, that my friend, is a kind of mental orgasm.\u00a0 <\/span>It might not be the same as being able to will and move your energy to orgasm while you\u2019re awake, but it does show you that you\u2019re capable of having an orgasm without touching your genitals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
