11. Work on your pelvic floor muscles

---

Prepare for earth-shattering orgasms by getting your PC muscles into shape. To know what and where they are, next time you're on the loo, try stopping yourself weeing mid-flow. The muscles you clench up to stop yourself urinating are the PC muscles.

The best bit about getting them fit and healthy is that you don't need to don footless tights and haul yourself to the gym – you can exercise them by clenching and unclenching them several times during a day. Spend a couple of weeks 'working out' and you'll find yourself having more, and better, orgasms.

10. Relax

---

It sounds obvious, but you're unlikely to have a great orgasm if you're tense or stressed out. Light candles, have a bath, or go for a tension-busting walk and your chances of reaching orgasm are instantly increased.

Just remember to avoid too much alcohol, which can numb the nerve endings in your vagina and make orgasm more difficult

9. Give your man a helping hand

---

Give yourself an orgasm head start by masturbating before you have sex. Some women find their pubic mound, nipples or inner thigh particularly sensitive... explore your own body and work out what works for you.

Stroke, rub and caress yourself for a few minutes before your partner does and prepare for the Big O! He may well enjoy watching you do this of course…

8. Get on top

---

An oldie but a goodie! Straddling your man means that you can take control of how fast, slow, or deep you want it, and watching him watch you can be a real turn-on as well.

Position yourself on top of him and wiggle around a little so that your clitoris is in direct contact with his body, and try rotating your hips in slow circles to achieve an amazing orgasm

7. Have sex during your period

---

If you feel the yuck-factor is too high on this one, wait until your menstrual flow is at its lowest – towards the end of your period. All the abdominal muscles and nerve endings are at their most sensitive during your period, which can make for some pretty explosive orgasms.

And as a bonus, sex is a sure-fire painkiller if you're prone to nasty cramps
