Forced Orgasms - Possible Repercussions?

Contributor: eroticmutt eroticmutt
Lately I have heard a lot about forced orgasms- especially on women. For those who don't know what that means, it is forcing a person to have orgasm after orgasm right in a row without stopping the stimulation in between, even though the partner feeling all this may get overly sensitive and it can be sort of uncomfortable, it is also said to be pleasurable.

My partner said that he thinks you can get nerve damage or 'burn out' your clit doing that with the Hitachi Wand, but I wanted to know from a larger number of people- can forced orgasm make your clit less sensitive? Can it cause nerve damage? Is there any after-effects and how long do they last?

Please vote in the poll and give an answer if you think there is an effect, because I would like to know if this is something that might be okay or if I should avoid trying it.

I don't know a lot about forced orgasms, but what you're describing is something I do to myself and my husband and I do pretty regularly. It's not really a BDSM thing for us so much as it is just to see if I can cum one more time...which in turn is then one more time...and then one more time. After a while it can get a little painful but it feels good too.

I've never done it with a Hitachi but I do use very strong vibrators. I will say that over time my sensitivities have decreased. I used to be able to use much weaker vibrators than what I need now. Part of that I blame on my clit ring and part I blame on using strong vibrators so often. I don't know that any of it has to do with forcing one orgasm after another in rapid succession.

My Man and I have played with this phenomenon. One thing to understand, as in all Dominant/ Submissive activities is that both people need to give consent for this to happen. There should be an agreement that it will happen, and if either party feels it needs to stop, the Safe Word should be called.

Eventually, you're going to burn out on orgasms in that session and the one doing the Dom role should recognize when this happens and stop the stimulation. This isn't a sport for couples who don't trust each other or for those who don't feel comfortable with it.

The clitoris may and probably will eventually stop providing orgasms in that session temporarily and it's then time to move on to other things.

I doubt it causes any long term repercussions. In fact most research shows that if clitoral insensitivity results from vibrator use simply not using the tool for a short period of time will cause sensitivity to return.

However, many of us learn to LOVE stronger and stronger sensations in sex as we learn to play with both high powered toys and engage in D/s activities. This is simply sensation seeking behavior and most likely not a physical reaction.

When we play with forced orgasms, we only use a vibrator for the first one, then My Man changes to giving me head to keep the orgasms coming. It can be a very exciting and unique bonding experience. I wish he, as a man, could experience it.

I've never heard of this. But when I do orgasm for the first time my clit is WAY to sensitive for any touching -- to the point where my legs thrash and whatnot. However, I doubt that this can have any permanent effects.

I do not think there are any repercussions. Your body is designed to orgasm; forced orgasms aren't going to damage your clitoris. Yeah during that session you may become numb, or not be able to get off after very long constant stimulation. But you should be fine the next day.

Don't think there are any long term repercussions, but I do think that "numbness" that some experience when using a vibe for too long etc, can be avoided by using different stimuli. Eventually your body will tell you that it's had enough. I can see it needing time to recuperate from so much activity.

The most important thing about forced orgasms is to know your partner and know their limits (you can always push limits, but everyone has a cap on the amount of orgasms they can have in one session). The only time that there will be lasting effects is if the person is forced repeatedly, for weeks on end, and pushed past their limits with every session. If you let up for a while, maybe have a forced orgasm session once a month, it will not have any lasting effects.

Some people's clitorises do become desensitized with repeated use of such strong vibrators as the Hitachi, but usually this is helped by being gentle with the clitoris for a little while.

Thank you for the answers everyone. I hadn't even thought about switching from vibrations to oral after the first one or two, but that sounds like it would help a lot, and it makes a lot of sense to me to realize when it is time to stop, and that doing so will prevent any risk of permanent issues, and sensitivity returns after rest.

Thanks for the answers everyone, that has set my mind at ease I don't even have a Hitachi yet, that is just what I had always seen it done with btw but yeah it makes sense to use other things

Only short-term overstimulation.

It's more about habituation than anything else--if you condition your clit to only come with the hitachi, then you WILL only come with the hitachi...for a while anyway.

I can understand short-term over-stimulation and the need to relax fo ra bit but i don't think a long term burn out is possible.
I have orgasm after orgasm all the time...I'm easily orgasmic i guess. My Dom loves forcing me to orgasm and after 4 years of doing this a lot...still feels the same.

Neuro Major Here-

You can temporarily lose sensation to the clitoris, or anywhere for that matter. This is because there is so much stimulation that your neurons can no longer fire and give you stimulation. A neuron, like the penis, has a refractory period. If you keep making the neuron fire (like orgasm) it can take it longer to get back to normal if activated many times within a short time. You can equate this with going on a run and needing to stop because you simply can't go on anymore.

But given enough rest, you can run again. Same with nerves and sensitivity. If you pull the stimulus away for a while, your nerves will revert back to normal and you'll be ready to play again.

The amount of time you may need to way can vary, ranging from mere minutes to a day or more.

But yes, you will have no lasting, permanent affects from forced orgasm using a hitachi wand.

Such permanent affects would only happen if you actually harmed yourself, like burning or piercing or drug usage and what not. These things would actually physically harm the nerves. You're only making them tired.

However, it is possible, though unlikely, to develop a callus of sorts on the affected body parts. This is your body's way of lessening the sensation to more tolerable amounts. Same as if you do any repetitive activity. The callus will go away if you reduce the sensation. Still, it is unlikely.

So have fun, sorry for the book, and hope this helps!

I've dabbled in this.. as a submissive. You really need a safeword with your partner and trust him/her enough with it comes to something like this.

I remember when it was happening to me.. it just kept coming on over and over and over. It was like never ending.. then it got a little painful. Then it got a little dull and painful. Then I simply couldn't have another one RIGHT then.

I have not lost any feeling in my clitoris because of this but at that ONE moment.. I was done.

Be careful though, you CAN pass out or black out. Only if you are pushed that far though. You can tell your partner "no more" if you think you can't take anymore.

Wow, very helpful! Thank you a bunch. Everyone here has given good advice, and I appreciate the information from someone with lots of information about neurology- certainly not something I would be comfortable getting a referral to a specialist about just out of curiosity, so it is great to know this

Personally, I get headaches if I'm forced to orgasm. They can get pretty bad, so I avoid this if I can. I do, however, enjoy being told I can't orgasm or when I'm allowed to orgasm.

I don't really know a lot about forced orgasms, but I can't handle being touched after the first clitoral orgasm so this would not be fun for me.

I have experienced this and there are times that I really enjoy it, but is not something that I could handle everytime. I really need to be in a certain kind of mood. I will say that the closer the time span is between each time this happens the harder is is ( for me at least) to just have a normal orgasm. It is now like a once a month thing for me.

Pretty awesome answer here!

I do this all the time and experience what this is saying. I am usually less sensitive any were from a few minutes to a day or too. Those are usually the days I can't cum, but I came 4-5 squirting times the day before, so I figured I just over worked it. I have never experienced anything permanent. I have had a slight burn too from strong vibrations too long with silicone. I ended having to take a four day break. However, my clit is good!

sometimes i like forced orgasm because it somtimes can be overwhelming yes i prefer not to use a vibe and just let my bf play with me because it turns me on when i ask him to stop and he says no or why playfully but i defiantly wouldn't say its desensitizing as long as u rest between sessions and i definatly would only use the vibe powerful enough for u a hitachi may be over kill if u can get off with something less powerful and generally i dont listen to guys when it comes to lady health

I would think you would have to get pretty extreme to cause real damage. It could make you raw or start to be painful and even keep you somewhat numb for a day or two. My partner doesn't force them on me, but he's kept on after orgasm when it was too sensitive and continued til' I had another. Usually he does it orally though and it seems like a nice way to go since you won't be having anything too rough on your sensitive clitoris. It's way too sensitive when he continues and doesn't stop even when I jerk and squirm, but after a min. it goes back to normal and I simply have another O. I usually end up liking that he continued, but at first I'll be squirmy from the super sensitivity! Lol

My man used to tie my down and just hold the hitatchi on my clit. Well it didnt happen as soon as he was done doing it, but after a couple days and long periods of time yeah I didnt feel as much of a feeling. Well After a couple weeks of no hitatchi I could feel it more then before. So I think it kind of heals itself. As long as you dont REALLY ruin it.

What the neuro major said, with one contribution -- external vibrators with a harder head can and will leave bruises after too much or too firm of use, even on the clit and other intimate regions.

I have never experienced forced orgasms, but I'm sure it's possible to get short-term damage, but it will return to normal quickly. It might be pretty uncomfortable after a while. :/

It won't cause nerve damage I'm pretty sure of that, but depedning on how much you do it, it can cause a psychological reaction where the mind attempts to distance itself from the sensation in order to restore equilibrium, (this is what causes men to get 'death grip syndrome') so it can make you more out of touch with your body.

I feel like there would be that "burn-out" of the nerves, but I'm not knowledgeable in this.

If anything all that friction for such a long time would probably leave bruises or tender spots.

I get really sensitive after and my partner is always careful not to over-do things. It can get painful if you O too many times. Well, I feel it can anyway.
