The clitoris is similar in sensitivity to the male penis. Most types of heterosexual (man-woman) activity allow for direct stimulation of the penis, and without this very few men would achieve orgasm. Similarly, most women need stimulation of the clitoris during sexual activity to reach orgasm.
If a woman has experienced an initial orgasm, and sexual activity continues, less intense or less direct clitoral stimulation may be enough to achieve additional orgasms – in much less time. The truth is that a woman's vagina isn't the most sensitive sexual area – so activity that centers on penetration, without direct clitoral stimulation, is insufficient to bring most women to orgasm.
The missionary position (man on top) does not provide enough stimulation for most women. The alignment of the man's body is toward the vagina, several centimeters below the clitoris. Most women need to tilt their pelvis or arch their backs to extract some clitoral stimulation in this position. The male partner can help by raising himself higher against the woman, allowing for more contact above the vagina, in the clitoral area. This variation of the missionary position is called CAT–Coital Alignment Technique.
The female dominant (woman-on-top) position may allow the woman more control of stimulation and depth of penetration – this may be preferable to the missionary position. Other positions for sexual intercourse may be varied or additional oral (by mouth) or manual (by hand) stimulation of the clitoris may be used.
Of course, pleasing sexual activity doesn't begin or end with intercourse. There is a range of sensual experiences that may lead to climax. Use your imagination.
