Orgasms are widely regarded as the pinnacle of sexual pleasure. This belief stems from the idea that sex can only be truly enjoyed if it ends in climax. However, this isn’t always the case. Many fulfilling sexual experiences are overlooked simply because they don’t end in orgasm.

Psychologist Monica Oyoo explains that non-orgasmic sexual experiences can be satisfying if partners agree on what pleases them beyond physical intimacy. This allows lovers to become more attuned to each other’s bodies without focusing on performance.
