The female orgasm is often misunderstood and can classified as 3 major types: clitoral, vaginal, and blended. The vast majority of women require stimulation of the clitoris to achieve orgasm. Unlike men, some women are also capable of experiencing multiple orgasms in a row within a very short period of time. For others, a female orgasm can be accompanied by the phenomenon known as female ejaculation which is also colloquially referred to as "squirting" or "gushing".
