Some people are able to achieve an orgasm through mental stimulation or by thinking about it without any physical touching or contact. This phenomenon is called "mindfulness." It is often referred to as being able to orgasm just by thinking about sex. There have been studies conducted that show how this type of orgasms occur and what makes them possible for some individuals. Researchers have found that these types of orgasms involve the release of hormones such as dopamine and oxytocin which can be triggered by intense emotions such as excitement and pleasure. These hormones help increase blood flow to the genitals causing arousal which leads to an orgasm. Some researchers also suggest that there may be a link between mindfulness and brain activity, specifically in areas related to pleasure and reward centers in the brain. This could explain why some people experience orgasms from simply thinking about sexual activities rather than having actual physical contact.
While many people believe that mindfulness orgasms are rare, they actually happen more frequently than one might think. According to a study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, around 15% of women and 40% of men report experiencing orgasms exclusively from mental stimulation. The frequency at which these orgasms occur varies greatly depending on the individual but generally speaking it's not uncommon for someone to experience them several times per week. While most people who experience mindfulness orgasms do so while engaging in other activities such as masturbation or watching pornography, others have reported achieving them during everyday tasks like taking a shower or reading erotica.
It should be noted that mindfulness orgasms aren't necessarily better than physical ones but rather just different ways of experiencing pleasure. They may feel slightly different due to not involving any physical touching but overall can still provide an enjoyable experience. Additionally, mindfulness orgasms can sometimes be seen as taboo because they don't require another person to participate in order to achieve. However, many sex therapists believe that it is important for couples to explore all forms of intimacy including those without direct physical contact if desired by both parties involved. Overall, mindfulness orgasms offer yet another way for individuals to express themselves sexually and connect with their partners emotionally through imaginative play.
