Can You Orgasm Without Touch?

Humans have long had lofty goals and dreams of super powers. Some of them we achieve, like flying into outer space. If you could go back and tell someone from the 1600s that we would be sending people out of the Earth’s atmosphere, they’d have definitely considered burning you at the stake! But now we send people up with regularity.

As for superpowers, well, those are a bit more elusive. No, we can’t fly on our own, harness immeasurable strength or send death rays with our eyes. These potentials might remain in the realm of science fiction and fantasy forever. However, there is another fantasy ability that some folks claim to have that others are still skeptical of. Though if we could all achieve it, I’m sure we’d all be eager to try. Wouldn’t you like to “think” yourself to orgasm?

Is it possible?

This is a pretty wild idea that gained some traction a few years ago. In the ensuing years, there has been some evidence that points to the veracity of claims of being able to achieve orgasm without physical stimulation. As noted, researchers were able to see, via MRI, that the areas of the brain that should respond in orgasm did, indeed, react in the same way during a “thought” orgasm. There is still much more research needed before this will become a widespread practice, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start working on new sexy skills now, right?

There are three main concepts you need to harness to consider the potential of touchless orgasm: relaxing, breathing and concentration. And when you think about it, working on any one of these techniques can greatly aid your work on the other two. They go hand in hand.

Relaxation: Many of us are frenzied and moving around furiously in our busy lives. Relaxing can be hard, not just to do, but to find time for. However, it is necessary to find some space to calm your mind and body—and it is essential to achieve a thought-centred orgasm. Find a comfortable room or area that gives you calm thoughts. Turn off your devices and possibly turn on some soothing music. Lay down, alternating your movements. Stretch and relax your limbs for some time and then pull them in close to you. Be aware of your physicality and how these movements help you relax.

Breathing: Breathing is essential to our being, something we, obviously, must always do. However, recognizing the different ways we breathe and how our breath is tied to the rest of our bodies at different times is key. During masturbation or partnered sex, our breathing becomes short and shallow and we often hold our breath as we climaxed. To think yourself to orgasm, it is key to inhale and exhale deeply, ensuring you feel every amazing sensation flowing through your body.

Concentration: The ability to concentrate on a given task is also very important. We don’t want to think of a mind orgasm as a task, but it does have a goal with milestones along the way. When you relax and start breathing, you will find an increased ability to concentrate on your desirous end goal. Now, what you concentrate on is up to you. Are you turned on by fantasy situations you have or have not yet tried? Do you want to relieve a past sexual encounter? Do you dream of particular fetishes? As long as you can focus on it, think about it!

Now, just because you focus on these three things does not ensure that you’ll achieve a thought orgasm. However, these techniques could also help and influence your solo and partnered sex lives!
