So what is this technique? Orbiting is about orbiting around your clitoris, in order to please yourself during your masturbation session, or to please your partner.

The orbiting technique

How is it done? Use your fingers to caress the exposed surface of the clitoris with a rotating motion. The idea is to stimulate the external part of the clitoris, which includes the glans of the clitoris, the main erogenous zone.

Have fun and test it out. You can make little circles, ovals, and why not draw a figure 8! After a few minutes, you should feel the excitement rising. The orbiting technique is very popular and very effective. In fact, according to a survey, 60% of women surveyed said that orbiting is the technique they use most often when masturbating.

Do not hesitate to apply more or less pressure with your fingers when you make the circular movements. To go further and vary the pleasure, you can swap your fingers for a sex toy or a vibrator. The vibrating mode will certainly amplify the sensations!
