Experiencing 'orgasmic breathing' requires some training. Sexologist Jessica O'Reilly explained to SELF magazine that youshould'train yourself to breathe deeply and naturally' in order to enhanceyour sexual experience. To do this, there are steps.
Firstly, it is crucial that you get yourself in the mood, whatever that looks like for you, whether it's candles or just being on the couch.
Then, close your eyes.
Next, take a deep breath and exhale three times. Slowly inhale three more times, as if you were breather through a straw. That means that you need to purse your lips.
Liz Goldwyn, author of the podcast Sex Ed then advises:
Keep breathing in and out and try to swing your hips as you contract your pelvic muscles.
The most important thing is for you to focuson your sensations, especially around your genitals. By creating awareness on this area you can improve how they feel.
