It's That Time of the Month for Orgasms

By Kyle Roderick

Is it that time of the month? You know, that time when you enjoy sex more than usual? A new study offers intriguing evidence about when women may be most likely to the most numerous and intense orgasms.

According to researchers at the University of Virginia at Charlottesville, women are most likely to experience more frequent and pleasurable orgasms during the five days following the end of the menstrual period. Researchers led by Anita Clayton, M.D., a professor of psychiatric medicine at the university, studied 115 women ranging in age from early 20s to mid-40s.

The majority of participants reported enjoying the most frequent and pleasurable orgasms between days five and 10 of their cycles. Clayton ventures that this finding may be due to the fact that for almost all women, these days are free of PMS symptoms.

To take advantage of these findings, Clayton suggests trying it out for yourself. Schedule date nights with your partner between days five and 10 of your cycle to see if you experience the same sexual peak of orgasm.
