You CAN climax in your sleep and 7 other types of orgasm – plus tips to enjoy them all
More than one in three women will orgasm in their sleep, experts revealed
DID you dream it, or did that REALLY happen?
Many people will wake up having played out a sexual fantasy in their dreams.
It's well known that boys going through puberty will often experience "wet dreams", but did you know it can happen to women too?
Scientists believe around 37 per cent of women have enjoyed an orgasm while being fast asleep.
The Kinsey report reveals that the phenomenon becomes more common as women get older.
Jade, 24, told broadly, she tends to experience it when she's suffering a sex drought.
"It's a bit like a present from your brain," she said. "I sometimes get so bored of not having sex that I lose interest in masturbating, and my brain reminds me that yep, I can still orgasm."
Sleep orgasms start with a sexy dream, experts say.
It causes an increase of blood flow to your lady bits, and that combined with the total relaxation that comes with being fast asleep, allows your body to reach climax with no added help.
But while sleep orgasms are out of your control, there are seven different types that blokes can treat their partners to. Here sexpert Dr Pam Spurr reveals how to drive your lover wild...
1. The nipple orgasm
Nipples can be extremely sensitive.
And with nerves running throughout our bodies, when they’re stimulated, many women get tingles right down between their legs.
For some women this leads to full orgasmic pleasure.
Ask your partner to try the 'swirl and poke' kissing technique on your nipples.

He gently swirls his tongue around them, followed by gently poking them.
Alternating these sensations feels fabulous.
Relax and see if you experience tingles through your clitoral and vaginal zones.
2. The clitoral orgasm
Many sexologists argue that women can only climax when they’ve had adequate clitoral stimulation.
This may be true for the majority of women, so get sex-perimenting.
Ask your partner to try the 'over the bridge' technique.
He gently runs his fingertips back and forth over your clitoral zone.
Some women get so aroused with this semi-direct stimulation that they climax.
For clitoral stimulation during full penetration, try the CAT - clitoral alignment technique.
You’re on top of him but shimmy a centimetre or two up so that your clitoris is aligned with his pubic bone.
This gives it fantastic stimulation during thrusting.
3. The G-spot orgasm
Major research out recently found no evidence for the G-spot.
Don’t let that stop you discovering whether you find stimulation of this zone exciting.
It’s located on the front, central, wall of the vagina.
So he can try the 'come here' technique - slipping his index finger inside your vagina, to stroke that area in a 'come here' fashion.
Or during foreplay try one of the many G-spot vibrators that are available, for some thrilling sensations.
4. The anal orgasm
Some women will be instantly turned off thinking about anal stimulation.
Others get intense pleasure, even orgasms from it.

Not only due to the nerve endings in the anal passage getting stimulated, but that stimulation also sets off stimulation in the vagina.
Experiment with gentle touching and penetration with anal vibrators.
Those vibrations permeate through the pelvic floor, sending tingles through the vagina.
Or you might get turned on by the intense intimacy of him giving anal pleasure with his fingers or tongue.
Always use safer sex techniques like placing strong cling film or a dental dam over the anal passage before he uses his tongue.
5. The U-spot orgasm
Some women find the area at the opening of the vagina, around the urethra opening, highly sensitive.
This can lead to 'female ejaculation' or squirting or gushing, as it’s known.
This is where stimulation leads the bladder to empty, or extra vaginal lubrication, to gush out during climax.
With lots of lubricant on his fingertips he can gently touch around this area (under the clitoris) to gauge your reaction.
Have him try the 'drumming' technique where he very gently drums his fingertips on and around this area. A little bit of oh-oh heaven for some women.
6. The A-spot orgasm
The A-spot is located at the top, front wall of the vagina.
Some women love deep penetration to access this area and get highly aroused.
The perfect way to discover if A-spot stimulation is your thing is with the doggy style position.
You’re on your hands and knees, he kneels behind you.
His thrusting stimulates that upper, front wall, deep in your vagina.
7. The vaginal orgasm
Most women love vaginal stimulation but feel they can’t climax unless their clitoris is stimulated at the same time.
Try experimenting with vaginal sex-citement.
In Missionary position have him push up on his hands so his chest is raised on yours.
Now he can control his thrusting so ask him to thrust only halfway into you.
Also ask him to circle with his hips, almost a stirring action midway inside you.
MORE ON SEX
These teasing sensations can drive you crazy and might bring you to full on orgasmic sensations.
Crucially, don’t put yourself under pressure, or be self-critical, if you have your own unique way of climaxing.
You may enjoy foreplay with your partner but can only bring yourself to climax. You might find you only climax through oral sex.
Whatever works for you is what counts when it comes to the bedroom.
