It’s National Orgasm Day today and there’s no other way to celebrate than by reaching the big-O.
For many, orgasms can be elusive due to stress, tiredness or a few drinks.
In fact, one of the most common sexual health problems is the inability to climax.
But the masterminds at HotOctopuss have shared some useful sex tips to help you get on your way.
From sex toys to talking dirty to yourself, there are plenty of ways to help you reach the finish line.
So here are six tips which could guarantee you a mind-blowing orgasm once and for all.

Improve sex by masturbating more
This sex tip is for the people who don’t masturbate very much (or at all).
If you usually rely on your partner for an orgasm then it may become difficult to achieve one.
Masturbation is actually one of the best ways to improve your partnered sex life.
So once you’ve had some “me time”, try and demonstrate to your partner what you’ve learnt.

Couples’ sex toys
If you’ve ever tried one, a sex toy specifically designed for couples can be your magic bullet.
There are several high-quality ones in the market which all use different technology and work in different ways.
Spend some time browsing at what you’d like to try together.
Hot Octopuss have a few to choose from, like the PULSE DUO LUX or the ATOM PLUS.
Live on the edge
Improve your orgasm by deliberately holding back from a climax.
You can practice edging on your own or have your partner do it for you.
It’s all about deliberately bringing someone to a plateau of pleasure then reducing the level of stimulation before reaching orgasm.
Try this as many times as you want in the course of one evening or over several days to guarantee results.

Breathe more
Often as we push towards orgasm we forget to breathe.
But deep breaths will boost your circulation and send more blood to your genitals to help your orgasm become more intense.
So next time you’re straining for an orgasm, check and see if you’re holding your breath.
If you are, experiment with breathing in different ways and see what effect this has.
Talk dirty… to yourself
This is an advanced masturbation tip which has been reported to give explosive results.
Try treating yourself as you’d like a partner to do so.
Make loads of noise, tell yourself how hot you are and even try masturbating in front of the mirror.
According to the sexperts, this will give you a whole new view on how sexy you are.
Copycat
Find your favourite cam performer or solo porn scene and see if you can “play along”.
Masturbate in the way the performer does, using the same motions.
You could even try it at the same time too.
This will change the tempo of your masturbation to give you a whole new experience.
