Yes, a Perineum Orgasm Is a Real Thing—and It's Incredible

It is right nearby gland, and the sensation can feel very erotically sensitive, just like other erogenous zones, Lorrae Bradbury, dating coach and founder of the website Slutty Girl Problems , tells Mens Health.

You can even have an orgasm through this thing! What now? Yeah, you heard that correctly. Here is how you can have an orgasm through the perineum.

Why haven't I heard of the perineum?

You might be wondering how it is that you havent heard about perineum pleasure or orgasms before now. That's totally normal. Given the inconsistencies in sex education around the country, many of us aren't fully aware of our anatomy.

These areas are rarely explored in pornography and are never discussed in sex ed classes, so it's almost impossible for men to think there would be anything sexual about their perineum, says Daniel Saynt, founder of (NSFW), a sex-positive members-only club that hosts sexual education workshops.

Stigma may also be holding guys back from exploring their perineum. Due to outdated notions about men's sexuality, guys aren't exactly shouting from the rooftops about stimulating areas outside their penis and balls. That's stilly-enjoy yourself and forget all the nonsense!

OK, on to the fun stuff.

Exploring your perineum in the shower

If youre going to orgasm through the perineum, you need to explore that body of yours! While youre in the shower, use your warm hands to see whats going on down there.

While standing, try picking yourself up, Saynt explains. Take your index and middle finger and begin applying pressure, lifting up slightly to feel your fingers dig into your perineum. Continue to apply pressure as you get closer to your anus. You can also squat to make it a little easier to reach your spot. You can push your pelvic and rectum muscles in and out as you apply pressure to better position your prostate to the inner walls of your perineum. With time, you should feel light contractions of your testicles.

Try using some toys

Vibration is an awesome way to get the perineum involved in your pleasure game. If you dont own a . They CHANGE the game. Saynt recommends the Lelo Loki Wave. This prostate vibrator has a back and forth motion which is perfect for both internal and external stimulation.

Get on the bed, lie on your back, and relax. Apply pressure to the inch right before your anus and at a certain point your going to find a spot that sends little jolts of electricity through your body, Saynt explains. Stroke while stimulating to experience multiple orgasms, or just stimulate that area alone to reach your milking point. (For those of you who dont know what prostate milking is, its when you're able to ejaculate repeatedly, even without an erection. Read more about it here .)

Use a firm pressure to massage, rub, or stroke the perineum. You might want to warm up with light strokes, then increase pressure into a firmer massage, Bradbury suggests. Start with lighter vibrations, and then work up to the most intense power. You can increase or decrease the pressure of the vibrator against the perineum to control the sensation.

This stuff takes time

Dont get bent out of shape if you dont reach orgasm the first few (or even several) times you try this. It's a journey, not a trip, Saynt says.

If you cant have an orgasm through the perineum or find you just arent that into this kind of stimulation, thats perfectly OK. Every single body is different and not everyone has orgasms in the same way. There isnt even enough scientific information out there to know if every man even can have orgasm this way.

The goal of sex doesnt always have to be about orgasm, and stimulating the most sensitive spots of your body in order to reach it. Instead, you can experience more variety of sensation by exploring lesser-known erogenous zones, and broadening your definition of pleasure to include areas that may have less concentration of nerve endings, but are still incredibly pleasurable and erotic, Bradbury says. As you expand your experience, youll find that sex becomes less about one specific activity, and more about a combination of pleasurable experiences.
