There are different types of sensations. If you want to experience cervical orgasms, below is detailed information on how to go about it.

The cervical orgasm, much like the nipple orgasm, sounds a bit like sex science fiction. For many years, scientists thought that the cervix doesn’t register sensations. Luckily for us, they were wrong. Read this blog to understand ways of giving or achieving cervical orgasms. Here’s everything you need to know about cervical orgasms and how to have one.

What is a Cervical Orgasm?

That orgasm doesn’t come from cervical stimulation alone. Mother Nature wired our magnificent genitalia such that stimulation of various parts of the vagina results in indirect clitoral stimulation and vice versa. The same goes for the cervix. In a lab, you can use a special probe to stimulate the cervix directly, but in real life, lighting up the cervix involves stimulating the walls of the vagina, which also triggers the clitoral bulbs hugging the walls of the vagina. Therefore, in the process of stimulating your cervix, you’re also lighting up other hot spots.

What Does a Cervical Orgasm Feel Like?

The sensations and orgasms arising from stimulation of the clitoris, vagina, and cervix tend to differ, primarily because the sensory nerves that wire each part are different. You’re most likely to stimulate the cervix during deep vaginal penetration as Pfaus et al. (2016) explained. The resulting orgasms have been described as a "shower of stars”. A cervical orgasm feels like it starts in the pelvis, spreads to the abdomen, and then engulfs the whole body.

Can Anyone Have a Cervical Orgasm? Is It Safe?

According to Kershaw et al. (2005), cervical stimulation does require deep penetration. This can seem a little scary. In terms of safety, the short answer is that cervical stimulation is safe under normal circumstances. Trying something out like this is probably not the smartest move during advanced pregnancy. If you experience cramping, bleeding, or more than mild discomfort, this mode of stimulation might not be for you, and that’s totally fine. Take it slow, and always speak up if you’re in pain or uncomfortable. Moreover, if you have bleeding from intercourse, consult your doctor. The cervix’s tissue is sensitive and can be bruised if the stimulation is too intense.

How To Have a Cervical Orgasm

Communicate

Before exploring the cervix, have a chat with your partner to discuss how to proceed then move on slowly. As you get aroused during intercourse, the vagina lengthens, which means it will take deep penetration to reach the cervix. Be prepared to give your partner tons of feedback as you experiment with the sensations.

For the Cervix, it is All About the Pressure

The cervix does register sensation, specifically the sensations of pressure so much that some women find deep penetration during intercourse a bit too intense or downright painful. Particularly if they are not sufficiently stimulated.

When you are sufficiently aroused and relaxed, stimulation of the cervix can contribute to a very intense orgasmic experience, so make sure to take your sweet time with foreplay.

Take it slow

Positions that allow for deep penetration, like doggie style, are often best for having a cervical orgasm. But make sure that you don’t attempt them until you are fully turned on. Get the party started by having a clit orgasm first.

Relax

Focus on relaxing the body and registering the sensations. As arousal progresses, you can use deep breaths to simultaneously build the sexual energy and ease into the experience of being so deeply penetrated. Most important, don’t chase the orgasm. Relax into the experience and let the orgasm find you.

How Can You Stimulate Your Cervix?

The key is warming yourself up enough first, whether you're going solo or with a partner. This will mean some exterior and interior play before you move any deeper. The ectocervix, the only part of the cervix that's accessible through the vagina, is located near the back of the vagina. That’s why sometimes when you or your partner dive deep, you feel a unique sensation at the end of each thrust.

Try To Get Familiar With Your Cervix On Your Own

It could be easier and more comfortable for you to experiment with a toy than your hands. If you want to use a toy to play with the cervix, take your time getting riled up on the outside first, and use lots of lube as you explore. According to Leonard (2010), masturbation is harmless and convenient for everybody. Masturbation is the deliberate self-stimulation for sexual pleasure. Further, play on the inside in a way that feels good for you before reaching further inside to press gently on the cervix.

You Can Also Add Cervical Stimulation To Your Cycle

The feeling of cervical stimulation, and the height of your cervix, could depend on where you are in your menstrual cycle. A few days before your menstruation, your cervix might be more sensitive to touch. Not to mention, when you’re menstruating, your cervix is lower, which makes it easier to reach and maybe makes a stronger case for period sex.

There's No Need to Rush When You’re Going for This Kind Of Orgasm

No matter how ready you are to get to the good stuff, be sure to start slowly. It is recommended to go about your regular routine and wait until you’re about 80% of the way to orgasm before adding in some deep penetration that reaches the cervix. It's important to work your way up it.

Don't Skip Out on Lube When You're Experimenting With Deep Penetration

While experimenting, you might find that you like the feeling of something touching your cervix, but you don’t love the poking sensation. Lube is going to be your friend in this scenario. According to Wilson et al. (2017), lubricants are used during procreative intercourse to moderate the amount of wetness in the genitals

Here's What a Cervical Orgasm Will Feel Like If You Get There

If you end up having one, congratulations on reaching a personal sex milestone. However, don’t get hung up on the cervix alone. Instead, hone in on the pleasure and see where it takes you. If it leads to an orgasm, so be it. However, if the pursuit of pleasure leads you back to your clitoris, that’s cool, too.
