I posted this at another sexual health forum, but got no responses. I thought I would come here, since I've read The Orgasmic Diet, and see if I can get some answers.



I know this has probably been brought up before, but after searching the forums, I still could not get a clear answer. My question is what is the actual physiological difference between the vaginal and the clitoral orgasm?

I've read in some places that it just depends on where the stimulation occurs and that the bodily response itself is the same. In other places, such as the book "The Orgasmic Diet" (which I found on this site), it says that the sensations themselves are different as if the orgasm actually happens in a different part of the body. At least that's what I gathered from it.

Here's why I'm confused. I'm capable of clitoral orgasms, but I feel them deep inside the vaginal canal. There are strong contractions within the vagina itself. Everything moves, the cervix, the anal sphincter. Everything. I also sometimes experience ejaculation. But this happens from clitoral stimulation. Not vaginal or g-spot stimulation.

Here's another thing that's weird. I can have orgasm's in my sleep, and they feel exactly the same, except less intense, as the "awake" clitoral orgasms. Vaginal contractions and everything, but it happens with no clitoral stimulation at all. It's spontaneous. This makes me wonder if an orgasm is just an orgasm. That it doesn't matter what kind of stimulation, if any, it comes from. I don't know. Could someone clear this up for me?

Oh, and I also looked at that one thread with the links to the videos. I watched them but I could not find any definitive answers since you can't actually see what's going on internally or if the women are just faking it.

Clitoral orgasms will of course cause vaginal contractions. But there really are vaginal orgasms too, that are caused by vaginal stimulation. You generally need very strong PC muscle tone to have them, and they do feel very different from clitoral orgasms--less intense and more full body.

It is unusual that you have ejaculation orgasms from clitoral stimulation. I'm curious to know more about how those feel to you.

I have orgasms in my sleep too. They feel like clitoral but with no stimulation. Isn't it great? I love orgasms

Thanks for the response. Generally, the ejaculation doesn't feel like much. There's a buildup of pressure and then a release of fluid. It can happen before, after or during a "clitoral" orgasm or even without one occurring at all. It really isn't all that pleasurable, to me at least.

What I'm more curious about are the sleep related orgasms. They feel like the alleged "clitoral" orgasms I have from clitoral stimulation but they are completely spontaneous. I have a hard time calling them "clitoral" if they come from no physical stimulation. What are they then?

I think you are flexing your PC muscles when aroused and that is causing your ejaculation orgasms. You may also be flexing your PC muscles in your sleep.

My diet should help you experience your ejaculation orgasms as orgasms.

Hmmm. I've had orgasms in my sleep for years without there being any clitoral stimulation that I'm aware of. Does that mean I am capable of vaginal orgasms?

I honestly don't know.

That's ok. Just sort of musing out loud here.
