One of the lesser-known pleasure centers, the perineum is common to bodies of all genders. If you’re yet to discover this external erogenous zone, it could hold the answer to elevating your intimate experiences to levels you’d never thought possible. So, how do you find your perineum and what are the best ways to stimulate it? Read on for our expert tips and discover popular sex toys designed to encourage perineal orgasms no matter your gender or relationship status.
What is the perineum?
The perineum is the thin layer of skin between your anus and your genitals – the scrotum or the vaginal opening. Also known as the ‘taint’ or ‘gooch’, the perineum is packed with sensitive nerve endings that are involved in our sexual response and arousal, so stimulating this area can encourage orgasm.
What does a perineal orgasm feel like?
Orgasms are an intensely pleasurable response to sexual stimulation and the same can be said of those involving the perineum. Of course, the actual sensations vary across individuals and occasions.
Perineal stimulation can feel particularly pleasurable for bodies with a prostate because it targets this gland indirectly from the outside – the direct route is inside the body via the anus. For this reason, perineal orgasm can be considered a type of prostate orgasm. How does it compare to penile orgasms? Some say that a perineal orgasm feels similar but more intense, so much so that it’s a ‘full-body’ experience.
How do you have a perineal orgasm?
If you’re curious about perennial orgasms, why not consider stimulating this erogenous zone in your next intimate session? Here’s our advice on how to get started…
Perineal stimulation on your own
When you’re ready to try perineal stimulation, explore the area on your own so you can get an idea of the types of sensations you like and dislike. You’ll not only increase your understanding and appreciation of your body, needs and wants, but also be able to guide a partner you might want to involve in future sessions.
Start by using your fingers to stimulate your perineum, experimenting with the pressure and motion. Once you discover what feels good, you might want to continue focusing on your perineum or start stimulating other pleasure zones too.
You might not have a perineal orgasm on your first few attempts and that’s okay. Orgasm doesn’t have to be the goal. As long as you’re enjoying yourself, that’s what matters.
Perineal stimulation with a partner
Once you’re comfortable with stimulating your perineum during solo play, you might like to incorporate the act in partnered sessions. Talk to your partner about your likes and dislikes to help make the experience as pleasurable as possible.
You might want to stimulate your perineum yourself or have them do it for you. They might ask you to return the favor!
Take the opportunity to explore your limits, knowing that perineal stimulation doesn’t have to be performed by fingers only or be an act in and of itself. You and your partner might agree on licking or kissing the perineum, or having the area stimulated during oral, vaginal or anal sex.
As with all sexual acts, ensure your pursuit of perineal pleasure is with someone you trust and that all activity is mutually consensual.
Perineal stimulation with a sex toy
If your perineum is craving more stimulation, using sex toys can provide an easy and effective way to get the boost you need and want. However, not just any sex toy will do. The perineum is located near the anus, so choose sex toys designed for perineal or anal use for safety reasons – you don’t want it to get sucked inside your body and trapped!

In this personal and insightful piece, Sexological Bodyworker Johanna Debes explores why so many women lose touch with their desire, how self-pleasure rebuilds body knowledge and confidence, and why approaching it with curiosity instead of pressure changes everything.

Going from friends with benefits to a committed relationship isn't usually something you actively seek—or plan for. But it can happen. Not always, and not always in a simple way.
No two women are the same. We all have different tastes, sensitivity levels, fantasies, and even body shapes. Therefore, the key word in sex is always going to be: curiosity.
