Women can explore exercises to strengthen their pelvic floor muscles to improve orgasms and also ask their doctors about hormone replacement therapy which adds more estrogen to their bodies.

4 of 5
When you're in a long-term relationship, you get into a routine and studies have proved that it affects your brain chemically. There's biological evidence to prove that novel sexual experiences or sex with a new partner, cause the release of dopamine in the brain. And dopamine is a chemical messenger that sparks the pleasure center in your brain. When this happens, the brain motivates you to get more dopamine or have sex more often with a new partner. You can t change your partner for a dopamine boost, so make new ways to look at your partner like hitting the road together. Nothing spices up your sex life like travel as a change of scene makes your partner seem like a whole new person.

Once you know what gives you orgasms, don t hold yourself back from asking your partner to do it. Go ask for a blowjob and feel the sexual rush.
