Whole-body pleasure from the far reaches of the vagina
For most women, penetration that reaches the deepest part of the vagina feels intense. Often, that’s intense in a way-too-much, not fun kind of way—it can even be painful. But the same back wall pressure that might have been uncomfortable at first can feel really amazing after plenty of stimulation and arousal.
The deep end of the vagina isn’t a “ready to party any time” pleasure zone. A lot of women associate it with discomfort—maybe they’ve had a painful visit to the gynecologist’s office, or penetration that feels like it’s ramming the cervix over and over. But even for many women who usually find deep end penetration uncomfortable, there’s a time where it can lead to intense, full-body pleasure, a special kind of orgasm and profound feelings of intimacy.
There’s a unique kind of orgasm that can come from deep end stimulation all on its own; 15% of women who’ve discovered deep end pleasure have had this specific kind of climax. Some describe it as a “belly orgasm,” and a tension release that comes from deep in their gut.
What’s the right time for deep end? Turns out, there’s not really a name for it. We have words like foreplay or warm-up for the earlier stages of sex. But deep end is definitely something to try later on—just before or just after orgasm. After getting to a point of extreme, can’t-get-enough arousal is the time to explore deep end pleasure.
For most women, when it comes to deep end penetration, the type of motion really matters; rocking, pulsing, or massaging with continued contact usually feel best—not lifting off and touching again, or banging in and out (which only 12% of women who like deep end actually enjoy.)

Play Animation Stop AnimationThe back wall of the vagina is kind of like a remote village in the Swiss Alps: not that easy to get to, but a joy to explore once you’re there. Here’s why:
The cervix is not flat—it’s like the end of a banana, and touching its sides feels really good for a lot of women.
The cervix has a sort of “pocket” around it, with pleasure zones called fornices. The fornices open up and become more accessible when really aroused.

Almost half of women who love deep end stimulation said they don’t know exactly where; they just know it feels good to be stimulated somewhere back there. So if you can’t really identify these zones on yourself or your partner, you’re not alone. It’s still helpful to have a mental picture of what’s back there when you’re exploring.

“I get more open inside”
Raising the knees all the way to the chest is a great way to shorten the distance to the deep end.

With straight legs the deep end and the cervix can be harder to reach.
In this technique, you straddle a toy or penis and rock the body so that the penis or toy tip stays in contact with deep end and massages it without breaking contact or ‘bumping’ against it.
With the penis, fingers or toy against the back wall, push over and over with very gentle, short motions. With a toy, tapping on the end that’s sticking out can feel great, too.
This is an excellent “test the waters” technique. Press the fingertips, penis, or toy against a side of the back wall, moving in gentle circles around the edges to massage. Experiment with angles, surfaces and pressure to see what feels best.
A small percent of women love when the tip of the cervix is massaged, rubbed or gently flicked. But since this is typically the most sensitive part, it’s best to start on the sides (which are less sensitive) first, and work up to trying the tip!

“Gentle Flicks”
The best time to explore the deep end is after getting VERY warmed with other kinds of touching and penetration, or even after an orgasm. Or three. So think of deep end as something to try on those really long sessions when you still want more.
Solo, many women find it’s easiest with a toy because the end of the vagina is pretty far back there—and not within easy reach of their fingers. Look for a toy that’s longer than average so there’ll be plenty “sticking out” to use as a handle. (By the way, Season 3 will be all about Toys!)
For partners, exploring with fingers first is a great approach—they’re smarter than penises or toys (no offense to penises or toys, of course.) But fingers know what they’re touching, and can sense very slight differences in texture—plus, they can get into tight places.
