Today is a great day, today we celebrate the International Female Orgasm Day. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, today August 8th, and we do it with the purpose of raising awareness about female sexuality and the right that women have to feel pleasure and express pleasure. According to the American Psychological Association, an orgasm is when a person reaches peak pleasure. It is a powerful sensation of physical pleasure and volcanic sensation in your body.
 

We celebrate this day as a way to invite all women, daughters, mothers, grandmothers, aunts, nieces, single, married, divorced, to recognize their rights regarding their sexuality and the possibility of the importance of knowing themselves, exploring their bodies, and finding out and expressing their likes and dislikes. 

Marisol Castillo, psychologist and expert in sexuality explains that orgasms strengthen female empowerment. “Visibilization has begun not only in terms of gender equality, but also around the right of every woman to have an active and pleasurable sexual life” (Marisol Castillo). 
 

In this blog, we go over the top 4 benefits of the female orgasm and how it empowers women.
 

The intensity and frequency of a female orgasm depend on a woman's self-esteem, sexual desires, mental and emotional health. If they all line up in perfect harmony, an orgasm can benefit your mind and body in positive ways, increasing productivity at work, connecting better with others, relieving stress, and helping your brain. In addition to the possibility of making you feel beautiful and gaining confidence in yourself.

If you feel good, you work good:
Orgasms release chemicals like dopamine or a "dopamine rush" that makes your body feel amazing. Dopamine is known as the “feel good” hormone. It gives your body a feeling of pleasure, which is what having an orgasm should be like, allowing your body to feel good. It gives you the boost of motivation to work harder after feeling pleasure. It will drive you to achieve your goals and take the effort you need to succeed. Orgasms are a great and healthy way to increase your dopamine levels to feel the best you can be. Let them be your boost to motivation and success! Remember that you do not need to have a partner to feel this sensation and if that person who has just made you reach orgasm is yourself, then much better. You can enhance your motivation initiatives after your orgasm releases that dopamine boost! Remember that you are talking about your body, your orgasms and therefore your rights to feel strong, powerful, divine.

The "O" in orgasm also represents the "O" in oxytocin:
A chemical called oxytocin, also known as the love hormone, is also released after an orgasm. It is responsible for some of the positive emotions you feel during sexual attraction and desire. Higher levels of oxytocin also lead to collaboration, which leads to being able to build stronger and more powerful networks with others. One of the best-known researchers on oxytocin is Paul Zack, who over the last twenty years has shown that “oxytocin is in fact the biological basis for psychological safety, empathy, and interpersonal trust” (Samantha Woolven). So if female orgasms elicit higher levels of oxytocin, this is already taking us one step further toward a greater leadership advantage.

Do you feel stressed? Orgasm: 
Stress can be negative and destructive, taking its toll in many areas of life, but an orgasm is one of the best ways to cope and reduce those stress levels. It is shown in some research to reduce stress and anxiety. “Some report a more restful night's sleep after orgasm. Many women enjoy relaxing and falling asleep peacefully” (Dr. Alyssa Dweck). Climaxing is a great way to de-stress and is an overall sense of well-being during those stressful times in your life.
 

Your brain helps you orgasm, but it also helps your brain:
An orgasm can positively influence the brain. In women, orgasm lights up as many as 30 areas of the brain. Those lights represent blood flow, and that blood carries a surge of nutrients and oxygen to brain cells, leading to a healthier brain (INSIDER). Your brain is a powerful mood enhancer that increases your sense of well-being and keeps you active. A woman's brain is already good at multitasking and thinking quickly, and orgasms enhance this even more and make our brains think faster.

So do women actually have an advantage? Orgasms make women feel empowered, when this happens, we know that we have the ability to change the world. Feeling empowered is different for everyone, but an empowering orgasm is an explosive sensation and activity that will leave your body and mind ready to conquer and break down all the barriers you thought you could have in front of you.
