Orgasm 101
rgasms are peaks of sexual excitement giving off intense, full-body waves of pleasure and relaxation. Fifty years ago, William Masters and Virginia Johnson
described four stages of the human sexual response cycle: arousal, plateau, orgasm and resolution. Today, there’s some debate about the application of these stages to women as some women may not experience much of a resolution stage and may instead experience multiple orgasms without going through each stage all over again.
There’s also debate in regards to the types of female orgasms. In the past, experts categorized female orgasms as either clitoral or G-spot stimulated. However, an orgasm may also be felt in the labia, heart, skin, spine or even as a rush throughout the entire body. Because orgasms are as unique as the women who experience them, there’s no way to define what’s “normal.” The only thing all female orgasms have in
common is that they all involve contractions of the pelvic floor muscles. Sensation, duration and cause of the climax will vary from woman to woman; and through persistent practice and experimentation, every woman can become an expert on her own orgasms.
What Can You Do to Ensure You Achieve Orgasm?
1. RELAX. Enjoy the moment and don’t focus on having an orgasm.
2. COMMUNICATE. Let your lover know what feels good. When
your partner does something you enjoy, encourage your lover to
continue.
3. FANTASIZE. Let your imagination run wild. Some women find
that having a fantasy during lovemaking helps them to climax. The
moment you find yourself close to climaxing, try tightening and
relaxing your pelvic floor muscles to spark an orgasm.
What Can Partners Do?
1. COMPLIMENT. Think of ways to make your lover feel sexy and
adored.
2. BE PATIENT. Not just with your lover who is trying to achieve an
orgasm, but with yourself, too. If you climax before your lover does,
continue stimulating your partner by using sensual products, such as
lubrication and a vibrator, or performing oral sex.
3.REMEMBER THE CLITORIS. Most women need clitoral
stimulation in order to reach climax. The clitoris is just as important
to women as the penis is to men.
Multiple Orgasms
Now that you’re an expert on orgasm, spread the word.
The more women know about orgasms, the easier it is to have one! Don’t forget to check out the physiology of an orgasm in The Passion Parties Guide to Great Sex.
As is the case with regular orgasms, there is no “right” way to have multiple orgasms. Essentially, a multi-orgasmic woman is able to achieve more than one orgasm during a session of love-making or self-pleasuring. Multiple orgasms may not be for every woman, and that’s normal. But, if you find yourself interested in finding out whether or not you can achieve and enjoy multiple orgasms, the best thing
to do is simply set aside some time to try, either alone or with a partner. After achieving one orgasm, try clitoral stimulation to reach a second climax.

10 Fun Sex Facts

1. Sex is a beauty treatment. Scientific tests find that when women make love they produce amounts of the hormone estrogen, which makes hair shine and skin smooth.

2. Gentle, relaxed lovemaking reduces your chances of suffering dermatitis, skin rashes and blemishes. The sweat produced cleanses the pores and makes your skin glow.

3. Lovemaking can burn up those calories you piled on during that romantic dinner.

4. Sex is one of the safest sports you can take up. It stretches and tones up just about every muscle in the body. It’s more enjoyable than swimming 20 laps, and you don’t need special shoes!

5. Sex is an instant cure for mild depression. It releases endorphins into the bloodstream, producing a sense of euphoria and leaving you with a feeling of well-being.

6. The more sex you have, the more you will be offered. The sexually active body gives off greater amounts of chemicals called pheromones. These subtle sex perfumes drive the opposite sex crazy!

7. Sex is the safest tranquilizer in the world. It is 10 times more effective than valium.

8. Kissing each day will keep the dentist away. Kissing encourages saliva to wash food from the teeth and lowers the level of the acid that causes decay, preventing plaque build-up.

9. Sex actually relieves headaches. A lovemaking session can release the tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain. Sorry, you can’t use “honey I have a headache” as an excuse anymore!

10. A lot of lovemaking can unblock a stuffy nose. Sex is a natural antihistamine. It can help combat asthma and hay fever.

Phthalates and Sex Toys

What are Phthalates?
Phthalates are chemicals (called plasticizers) that are used in plastics to make them soft and pliable. These chemicals are used in a variety of products that we
use every day including coatings for pharmaceutical medicines, medical devices, building materials, personal care products, cosmetics, packaging materials, printing inks and food wraps and packaging. In fact, most people use products that contain phthalates throughout their day, every day.

Are Phthalates Harmful?
There has been much debate as to whether phthalates are harmful and whether or not consumers should use sex toys that contain phthalates. This debate lead to the only government sponsored clinical study designed to research the question of whether
sex toys that contain phthalates are safe to use. The study found no conclusive scientific evidence that phthalates are harmful or pose any significant health
risks. Conducted by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency, the data showed that moderate to heavy use (up to one hour per day) is not associated with any significant health risk. Most consumers do not use these products for seven hours or more per week.

Like other products, sex toys get their softness and pliability from phthalates. NONE of the products that Passion Parties carries contain Phthaltes. In a press release issued on March 16th, 2010 Passion Parties stated and I quote: Passion Parties once again leads the sensual products industry, as the first and only company to have a 100 percent phthalate-free toy line. The organization made the announcement during its 16th annual convention, as part of its continued commitment to provide the latest innovations in sexual health and wellness. Passion Parties is North America’s leading in-home party-plan company specializing in sensual products and romance accessories.
“Health and safety are very important to Passion Parties and our consultants,” said Pat Davis, chief executive officer and company president. “We listened to our customers and found healthier products to help them explore their passion.”
This bold and responsible move was followed by removing dozens of products from our line up of pleasure products. Out with the old in with the new. Every single product Passion Parties by Erica carries is 100% Phthalate-Free!
