*Editor’s note: Affect3D is proud to welcome Marie of GeekySexBlog over to the 3DX specialty site. You might have heard her voice (well, moans of orgasmic pleasure) in the release of Sex Addiction. Not only is able to convey some very sensual sounds, she is also a skilled writer, using her knowledge on the world of sex to create some of the best written articles out there. We’ll be reposting some of our articles from her site. Expect to see new articles from her in the upcoming future. Enjoy!
I realized while writing a review that I needed to explain just what I meant by the certain types of orgasms I was trying to describe. Thus, I have devised the Marie Fasolt intensity scale for orgasmic activity. If you can’t tell immediately, it’s modeled after the Mercalli intensity scale, which is used to describe the intensity of earthquakes with easily visualized examples (e.g. rattling dishes or glassware is categorized under a 4 on the scale.) I would have preferred to base my scale off a more objective measurement, like a magnitude scale, but I have no idea how to empirically measure my own orgasmic activity.
I. Instrumental | Twitch | A single vaginal contraction. Not observed by people unless in favourable conditions. Generally the result of seeing something stimulating. Often occurs in women when thinking about desirable actors or chocolate. |
II. Weak | False Orgasm | A premature contraction or series of contractions that appears to be an orgasm but is not. Observed as a singular or short series of gasps or moans, sometimes accompanied by brief shaking. |
III. Slight | Near Orgasm | A partial orgasm without release, usually occurring when an orgasm is withheld or misplaced. Sometimes referred to as “edging.” Observed as heavy sighing, tensing of muscles, holding of breath, and quiet moaning. Response appears similar to a teenage girl fawning over romantic vampire fiction. |
IV. Moderate | Ruined Orgasm | An orgasm with incomplete release. Occurs when stimulation ceases during the orgasm, allowing an initial wave of pleasure but then denying the full satisfaction of an orgasm. Almost always results in discomfort that requires additional stimulation to relieve. Extremely frustrating, female equivalent of “blue balls.” |
V. Strong | Minor Orgasm | A genuine orgasm, but one lacking in intensity or duration. Usually unsatisfying and often followed by the pursuit of additional stimulation (or partners). Soft moans or labored breath are the most a Minor Orgasm is likely to bring. Often the result of half-assed or mediocre stimulation, or stimulation without adequate foreplay. |
VI. Very Strong | Moderate Orgasm | A satisfying clitoral orgasm, categorized by gasping breath, whimpering, and clearly audible moans. This is the most common orgasm to result from masturbation. Can be a conclusive orgasm or one that arouses the need for penetration. Always yields copious lubrication. |
VII. Intense | Strong Orgasm | An intense orgasm that is primarily vaginal, but often assisted by clitoral stimulation. Spasming or jerking is common, and a few instances of squirting have been observed. Vocally, a Strong Orgasm is signified by loud moaning and obscenities. G-Spot vibrators and the “come hither” motion are known to provoke this response. |
VIII. Violent | Major Orgasm | A violent orgasm, typically resulting during simultaneously occuring vaginal and clitoral orgasms. Characterized specifically by flailing, thrashing, or erratic spasming. Vocal response appears as continuous moaning, yelling, or screaming which can be heard through walls and sometimes in neighboring buildings. |
IX. Extreme | Mythical Orgasm | Never recorded. |
X. Cataclysmic | (unknown) | Comatose |

December 5, 2020Hello, I come from the future okno.
I actually remembered this thread and I wonder if this scale is still the same or has something changed.
Marie Fasolt
December 8, 2020You comment led to us discussing this at our weekly meeting. I considered it briefly and at this time no changes are needed. I have only experienced up to an VIII.

December 8, 2020I am neither a voice actor nor a woman so I cannot speak with ’empirical bases’. However, I can deduce that orgasm ix and x is more of a mental state than a situational state. I mean.
Suppose that different external factors are combined at the time of recording. For example: “that day” is being a very good day, also he was able to rest better and what he is recording makes him horny.
These examples of factors could lead to recording a level ix or x orgasm.
although I repeat, I am not an actor or a woman, in my case it is:
-toughen
-”shake”
-expel
xD anyway. Thanks for answering 😀

December 9, 2020lol love your simplified summary of the male experience. I know experience is relative, but it still amazes me that men are more typically the sex driven members of our species given how much more intense and long lasting female orgasm appears to be. The Amazon women of Futurama come to mind.
Anyway, it’s probably worth noting that when miro originally published this he asked if we could make a small edit from the version that originally appeared in my blog. In the original version, the description of an X level orgasm was death. My thought process was “is it possible for an orgasm to be so pleasurable, so disruptive to normal function, that you could die from the pleasure?” From a fantasy perspective, it sounds like a hedonists first choice for death, but I’m sure if you applied the cold hard lens of reality it would be awful to suffocate or have your heart stop from an orgasm. I was thinking of it solely from the fantasy perspective when I wrote it, and I think miro wanted to make that edit to ensure no ones brain accidentally went down the dark tangent when reading the reblogged version.
But with this version, assuming we interpret comatose non-medically, I agree it’s certainly a frame of mind. Once you’re experiencing a VII or above, assessing them gets really imprecise, subjective, and prone to context bias. The orgasm coaxed out of you in an atypical location after a night out just commands so much reverence, even if the orgasm in your own bed while reading porn comics was probably more physically intense.
Anyway thanks for the comments, it was fun revisiting this article. I really should do more blogging again but the time just evaporates these days.

By the way, it is possible to die from an orgasm, although, there must be many. I remember reading an article where it was stated that a young man had died from masturbating 32 times while watching hentai. He died when ejaculating.
-I don’t recommend masturbating so many times-
Regarding the first, if we go to the origins, the need to procreate is a primitive instinct. It can be assumed that the reason why men may have orgasms that are more ‘easier’ to provoke is for this very reason, the need to create life.
Another reason may be that we have a ‘cable’ hanging from the crotch and this allows us to have an easier time having orgasms.
I know that I should not answer more and let you have things to do but it is an irresistible topic and I like to talk with you.

December 18, 2012great article, love the idea and descriptions, I personally enjoy it when the girl gets loud during the orgasm
btw, if you really need a first hand account of a mythical orgasm, I’ll have to put you in touch with my gf, haha!

December 18, 2012Until someone has actually shown me anatomically backed evidence of how a woman can actually “squirt” anything I will continue to believe its just a bit of pee leaking out.
Apart from that, nice classification, applying the mercali scale to orgasms was a nice touch

December 18, 2012If you read all of the 20th century section of the wiki on Female Ejaculation, you can see it’s still a hotly debated subject. More importantly though, there is a nice little section in the article dedicated to the difference between squirting and female ejaculation, and how the interchangeable use of the term has caused a lot of confusion and argument.
Female ejaculation is the subject of myth. Squirting/gushing, on the other hand, is indeed the release of diluted fluid from the bladder. I don’t find it unpleasant, because it’s clear and odorless, but I do believe it’s from the bladder and it makes anatomical sense for it to be from that organ. I say that because the foolproof way to make most girls gush is to slide your fingers (or a dildo/vibrator) into her and repeatedly stroke the upper wall of her vagina. Since the bladder rests on the other side of the upper vaginal wall, it would make sense that the fluid (which has an entirely different viscosity than what comes from the vagina) to be from the bladder.
I will say though, that if I make myself orgasm by playing with my clit, but leave a vibrator or dildo idly inside myself the whole time, I can observe a huge difference in the amount of cum in my vagina before and after orgasm, as if more is expelled during orgasm than arousal. Also, in the times when I’m denied an orgasm (brought to the point where I’m about to or just starting to orgasm, then immediately have all stimulation stopped) I will experience the most terrible aching pain in the walls of my vagina, which will last until I am allowed to orgasm properly. I suspect the pain is the result of cum getting trapped somewhere in-between.

December 19, 2012only one kind of fluid is stored in the bladder….urine, so 3 guesses what is being squirted?
But I’m happy you can have orgasms so intense you lose control over bodily functions 🙂
Marie Fasolt
December 19, 2012It’s not really losing control over your bodily functions during orgasm. Normal urine and the fluid released while gushing are different, even if one is a derivative form of the other. You can pee normally during sex, but if you’re a young woman who doesn’t suffer from incontinence, you really have to force it willingly.
Gushing and squirting is completely involuntary though, and is a response to a very specific type of simulation. In the scale above I say gushing is sometimes observed with orgasm because while orgasm and gushing can sometimes occur around the same time, they are not necessarily related. Having the two line up is pretty rare, but I can actually make myself gush whenever I want (the same way I can make myself orgasm whenever I want). It just requires a certain type of stimulation, and if that stimulation is applied it happens every time without fail and I don’t have to be anywhere close to orgasm for it to occur.
It’s similar to how the male prostate can be massaged and cause ejaculate to be released without the man having an orgasm.

December 18, 2012thumbs up, good scale 😉 I hope to read you here again, in the night I will check your blog n_n
