Contractile Typologies of Orgasm: Should this correlate be a determiner of typology?

One way orgasm typology is done in the literature is by putting adjectives to contractile patterns. While I believe subjective feeling should determine the typology, typologies that involve contractions can be added to the subjective description: an explosive anal orgasm with type B contractions. Recently, the Lioness vibrator records contraction data. With this contraction data,…

“Super” Orgasms: A typology or a descriptor of a typology?
