National Orgasm Day : 7 Ways to Supercharge Your Orgasms

Winter is peaking here in South Africa. It’s cold, our toes are freezing, and we’re wearing approximately seventeen layers of clothing. But National Orgasm Day is coming up on 31 July, and we refuse to let a chilly breeze come between us and a mind-blowing climax.

So, whether you’re solo under an electric blanket, exploring with a partner, or on a sneaky mission somewhere warm, here’s how to level up your orgasm. Oh and feel free to take these tips with you into any and all seasons.

1. Mystery and Anticipation as Foreplay

Pleasure loves a good plot twist. Instead of rushing to the main event, try not knowing what’s coming next. The classic blindfold, using a silk scarf is always a yes. Or how about a timer, where you can’t touch each other for 2 minutes.

When your body’s waiting or guessing, it’s buzzing. And when it’s buzzing, orgasms hit differently. Promise.

2. Vibrator Warm-Up 

If you're feeling a little “mid-winter sleepy,” wake up your nervous system, but ever so gently. Run a vibe over your inner thighs, lower tummy, or anywhere that tingles. This will get your blood flowing and your nerve endings buzzing.

Bonus: Vibrators aren’t just for the obvious bits. Think shoulders, nipples, even the soles of your feet. You might discover a new erogenous zone mid-session.

3. Make Some Noise

We’re not saying you need to flat out perform a dramatic moan (unless you’re into that). But sound will wake up more senses, and most likely turn you on.

Soft sighs, deep groans, sharp little gasps, they’re like tiny exclamation marks that amplify your pleasure. Plus, if you’ve got a partner, it’s basically giving them a pleasure roadmap.

4. Breathe Like You Mean It

In case you didn’t know, holding your breath doesn’t make orgasms arrive faster. It just makes you lightheaded.

Slow it down. Take deeper breaths. Let yourself melt. The more oxygen in your system, the more your body can ride those waves instead of cutting them off too soon. Think of it like surfing, not a sprint.

5. Use Your Words

Sex can feel like a silent movie sometimes. And sure, that’s beautiful! But a little dialogue might just move the needle.

Think simple : “Harder.” “Yes” “Stay there.” “I like that.” These phrases are basically magic spells for better sex.

And yes, this applies even if you’re flying solo. Why not talk a little sexy to yourself

6. Book an Hour with Yourself

We put aside time for dinners, exercise and skincare, but how often do we schedule an hour just for pleasure with zero pressure to climax?

Add it to your calendar. Set a timer. Light a candle. Get naked. Use some lube, maybe, your favourite toy, or just your hands. Explore without goals. Sometimes removing “the finish line” is what makes your orgasms deeper when they finally happen.

Now Go Get Yours

So, don’t let icy toes and heavy blankets keep you from your peak pleasure this winter. Whether you’re exploring solo or together, there’s always a way to explore more.

Happy National Orgasm Day. Go forth and get off!
