MULTIPLE ORGASMS (the female perspective)

Multiple orgasms will sometimes occur in women during their sexual response cycle as a result of their energy not tailing off fully into the resolution (or rest) phase. Rather, they'll instead go through a very short refractory period. Some women who experience multiples will find the second and third to be progressively stronger, while others report that the intensity will lessen after successive orgasms. Multiples tend to be more common in women than men due to physiological differences in the way the blood flows in and out of the male and female genitalia.

To begin with, a lot of women are quite happy and very satisfied with just one orgasm, and not every woman will want to or enjoy having more than one. They may find that their nipples and 'clit' are way too sensitive after an orgasm to proceed any further, which is a 'normal' response. If you've never had a multiple orgasm and are interested in experimenting, this is a physical description of some basic tantric practices. After the initial orgasm, continue by using a lighter touch than previously, and start to work on short, deep breaths. While you're doing this start doing pelvic tilts in the same time as your breath, lifting the hips on the exhale, and bringing them back down on the inhale. This will build up your sexual energy again. By building this energy, it may give way to a secondary orgasm. If it doesn't happen, don't be discouraged - there could be a number of factors at play. Simply enjoy the practice and come back to it again when you feel ready. If you're keen to learn a little bit more about tantric practices there is a good chapter in The Big O that delves into the topic a little bit more deeply.
