New Website Aims to Help Women Achieve Bigger And Better Orgasms—And Some Celebs Are Subscribers

If you’re looking for a website that can help make your climaxes, well, more climactic, look no further: OMGYes is here to help. As The Independent reports, the site combines the knowledge of thousands of women, ages 18 to 95, in order to help other ladies embrace their sexuality and have bigger — and thus, better — orgasms. Read on below to find out more.

OMGYes. Cheekily named OMGYes, the website combines the knowledge of more than 2,000 women, ages 18 to 95. Its purpose? To encourage and inspire ladies to not only embrace their sexuality, but to master their orgasms for bigger, better pleasure. Yes, please.

Methods. But before we get into what the site is all about, where exactly is this wisdom on female pleasure coming from? To develop their research, OMGYes conducted more than 1,000 in-depth interviews with women across the United States to get some insight on their sexual pleasure.

The OMGYes team also surveyed another nationally representative group of 1,000 women "in partnership with researchers at Indiana University and The Kinsey Institute, a not-for-profit organisation focused on research around sex, gender and reproduction,” The Independent reports. Overall, the team claims its research is the “first-ever, large-scale nationally representative study on the specifics of women's pleasure."

Celebrity-backed. As The Independent points out, the website recently came under the spotlight because of a certain celebrity’s stamp of approval: Emma Watson. Yes, that’s right: Hermione Granger has orgasms, too!

Emma Watson. According to The Independent, Watson is actually a paying subscriber to OMGYes. During a chat at the Emmanuel Centre in London, the English-born actress told feminist icon Gloria Steinem about it. “A friend told me about this website called OMGYes, which is dedicated to female sexuality,” she explained.

Emma Watson. The star went on to explain how she wishes OMGYes had been around longer. She told Steinem: “It's an expensive subscription. But it's worth it.”

How it works. So, exactly how does OMGYes work? Well, it’s pretty simple: the website works right in the browser of your phone, tablet, or computer, requiring a one-time fee of around $66.

Videos. Overall, the website features 62 short videos, in addition to 11 “touchable” clips. "The touchable simulation videos act as guides, allowing users to practice different techniques on your screen before taking a more hands-on approach,” The Independent reports. Pretty cool, huh?

Methods. Moreover, OMGYes aims to educate its users on 12 key pleasure methods. This includes “edging,” “rhythm,” “multiples,” “consistency," and “staging.”These pleasure methods are intended to help users understand what it is that gets women off and why.

Users. Keep in mind that the website’s users aren’t only female. In fact, according to The Independent, "The company says roughly half of the site's users are female, while the other half are male, adding that couples who are constantly exploring ways to make sex more pleasurable are 5 times more likely to be happier in their relationships and 12 times more likely to say they are sexually satisfied."

Founders. Founded by Lydia Daniller and Rob Perkins, the website emerged when the two realized during a conversation about how taboo talking about sex can be— especially when it comes to women’s sexual pleasure. "Their team, made up of a group of researchers, filmmakers, engineers, educators and sexologists, hopes the website will help dissolve taboos around women's sexuality,” The Independent reports.

Goal. Over on the official website, the OMGYes team expands on their goal. “There's so much that's been left unsaid, unasked, and unknown,” the the company says. “All because of a taboo that, we believe, will look absurd in a few decades – the same way taboos from the 1950s about oral sex and homosexuality are absurd to us now. We want to accelerate that transition.”

Goal. The team continues: "Instead of reliable, agreed-upon facts, the specific techniques and the way women vary have been left to pop-culture to make up – lists of tips, opinions, rumours, sayings. Sex research has been about general behaviours, like percentages of people who masturbate or use vibrators. Or the biology of what happens inside the body during sex and orgasm."

Goal. The team goes on to ask why the “actual techniques” for female pleasure haven’t been looked into before.”But the actual techniques for women's pleasure just hadn't been researched before,” the company writes. “Why?”

Goal. In the end, the OMGYEs team blames overall conservatism for the lack of research. “The large institutions that conduct research usually have at least a few very conservative supporters,” the company says. “And, for them, the specifics for women's pleasure are still too taboo and uncomfortable to look at directly and specifically.”

Takeaway. Bottom line? OMGYes claims its research with Indiana University and The Kinsey Institute is a major landmark for women’s sexual pleasure— and we have to kind of agree: not only does the website make it easier for its users to explore what feels good, it also explains why it feels good. Not to mention, it helps to make a great thing even better.
