The orgasm gap is still alive and well, so here are the top tips to make sure you never have to fake it again.
If you fake it, you won’t make it — so try these sex tips.
About 10% to 15% of women have never had an orgasm, according to the National Library of Medicine, and many more struggle to reach climax every time they get it on — so they fake it.
To help, sex and relationship expert Gemma Nice revealed five ways to enhance your orgasms.
“It’s all about finding out what works for you,” Nice, who’s partnered with sex toy company OhMy!Gasm, told The Post in a statement. She insisted that women “learn more about their bodies and improve their ability to achieve orgasm.”
“Sexual pleasure should be embraced, not feared,” she said. “The more we understand our bodies, the more fulfilling and empowering our experiences become.”
The sexpert’s top tip is for women to get more familiar with their bodies before bringing anyone else into their bed. Using sex toys can be a fun and playful way to test out what turns you on and gets you there.
“Familiarizing yourself with what you enjoy will make orgasms more intense and effortless,” Nice advised.
She suggested women set the mood and experiment with different types of pressure, circular motions, and rhythms alone.
And it’s not about how fast you get there.
Are you on edge?
Edging is when you nearly get to an orgasm and then teasingly pull back just long enough to hold off — then get going again several times before finally reaching an explosive climax.
It can be a pleasurable way to test your limits and add to the buildup.
“This technique builds arousal and can lead to earth-shattering, full-body orgasms. By stopping just before the peak and restarting, you intensify sensations and prolong pleasure, allowing for an explosive finish when you finally let go,” Nice said.

Most women don’t reach the Big O with just intercourse alone, and deep penetration can be uncomfortable for many. But here’s how to thrust yourself through it.
“If cervical stimulation feels uncomfortable at first, go slow and focus on deep breathing to help your body adjust,” Nice said.
Positions like doggy style and adding extra lubrication can help you slide your way to the top of a climax.
“Over time, you may find that cervical pleasure creates a unique, deep-seated orgasm that spreads warmth and tingling sensations through your entire core,” the expert said.
Take a breath.
Breathwork is a great way to get into your body, increase blood flow, and get your muscles down there pumping. Fire-breathing is a great technique to heat things up in the bedroom.
To do this, lie down and focus on contracting and releasing your pelvic floor muscles in rhythm with your breath.
“This practice spreads arousal throughout your body, making orgasms more intense and deeply satisfying,” Nice said. “This can help you feel more connected to your body and intensify each sensation.”
It also strengthens vaginal muscles, which helps to have a strong orgasm.
Speak up.
Being vocal during sex doesn’t have to mean using dirty talk — although that can help some get hot and heavy. Letting out every sigh and moan will not only let your partner know how you’re reacting to their best moves but also stimulate the vagus nerve, which helps the body relax into orgasm.
“By breathing deeply, keeping your mouth open, and allowing natural moans to escape, you can enhance sensations and make climaxes more powerful,” the expert said.
She suggested that those who aren’t naturally so vocal begin by practicing humming, sighing, or even simply exhaling when working on themselves.
