The Cosmo climax clinic: every woman has the ability to experience an orgasm each time she gets busy. But let's admit it: Sometimes O Town is tough to reach. Here, a guide to achieving ultimate pleasure.(Love & Lust)

Here at Cosmo, we're flooded with reader e-mails asking us about orgasms. The concerns we see most: why it's so difficult for a woman to climax and what's going on when an O won't happen at all.

So we felt it was time to put tiffs reassuring news out there: It's totally nomad for a chick to have a hard rime climaxing. "The female body is more complicated than a man's is; it needs different touches and pressures to get to that point of no return, and what works for one woman is different than what does the trick for another," explains Patti Taylor, PhD, author of Expanded Orgasm: Soar to Ecstasy at Your Lover's Every Touch.

It's not just a physiological issue either. "Women generally can't climax via purely physical stimulation like men can; they have to be in the right emotional state so they can truly let go," says Taylor.

The other bit of good news we are happy to report is that, although orgasms can be elusive, hitting the high note is hardly mission impossible--every woman is capable of it. Here, we lay out exactly how you can experience ultimate bliss so you never lie there feeling frustrated.

Whether by their own hand or during intercourse, guys generally have no problem getting off (lucky dogs!). As long as they have an erection and indulge in a few minutes of full-throttle stroking or thrusting, an orgasm is a pretty sure thing, explains Jane Bogart, director of student wellness at Columbia University Medical Center and author of Sexploration: The ultimate Guide to Feeling Truly Great in Bed.
