But what about the cervix?

Consider: the cervical orgasm.

What is a cervical orgasm?

Kelly Gonsalves

“With deep penetration during sexual intercourse, some women are more sexually aroused,” Ross adds.

How to have a cervical orgasm

Get familiar with your cervix first.

(you could do this with a partner as well!)

Wendie Trubow, M.D., MBA

Time it right.

“Your cervix is lowest and easier to stimulate then.”

Get aroused before diving into cervical stimulation.

Figure out which types of touch feel good.

There are lots of different ways to stimulate the cervix that could potentially feel good.

“For some, rhythmic intercourse with a partner whose penis (or strap-on!)

can reach the cervix is perfect,” Queen says.

Try positions that allow for deeper penetration.

Missionary, doggy style, and cowgirl are some classics that tend to allow for deep thrusting.

“There is no one-size-fits-all here; it’s about exploring what works for your body.”

Stimulate the A-spot.

“A partner’s fingers can stimulate here too.”

Outside the bedroom, consider a mindfulness practice.

“Many women say to achieve them, you must be absolutely centered on your pelvis.

If you want cervical orgasms, mindfulness matters!”
