Three different ways women orgasm including one called the volcano
WOMEN orgasm in three different ways, culminating in a rare eruption dubbed the volcano, scientists say.
Experts used a smart sex toy to monitor the trembling pelvic floor during a female climax.
The most common orgasm was the “wave”, with the woman riding a succession of pleasurable ebbs and flows.
Less frequent was the more powerful “avalanche”, a torrent of larger contractions that gradually ebb away.
Rarest was the “volcano”, the Krakatoa moment famously faked by Meg Ryan in 1989 romcom When Harry Met Sally — a sudden explosive orgasm that can leave onlookers stunned.
Professor James Pfaus, of Charles University in Prague, said the names describe how the “pelvic floor movements appeared during the build-up and the release of tension at orgasm”.

Prof Pfaus said the device can help millions of women who struggle to climax.
