Uh, What the Hell Is a Third-Level Orgasm?

Obviously, I’m aware of orgasms. I know there are different
kinds. There are the orgasms other people give you, and the orgasms you give
yourself. There are the varying delivery methods of orgasms, involving actual people parts or vibrating substitutes. There are the
ones that sneak up on you, and the ones you have to really work for. There are
multiple orgasms, zero orgasms and also fake ones. There are big orgasms
that shake the room, and tiny ones that bum you out. But I stand (ok, sit,
always sit) here before you as a grown woman with a confession: I never
realized there were official orgasm levels!
DID YOU!?

Says Nerve:

Anne Summer, a UK lingerie and
sex toy retailer, has put gynecologists to work on a new expertly designed
G-spot stimulator called the Ultimate G. Made from soft silicone, the main
shaft of the vibrator (with multiple pleasure “bumps”) targets the
G-spot while the twin outer arms target the inner clitoris (the big guy under
the surface, not the hood). This sounds, um, unorthodox. Anne Summer’s website
assures us, the Ultimate G has been “designed by medical experts to
take you to the third level of orgasm.”

I admit I am not an expert on all-matters anything, but yeesh,
I figured by now I’d have learned there were levels of orgasms. Maybe I’ve had
a LEVEL 3 orgasm and I didn’t even know it. Maybe what I’ve always been thinking
of as the greatest orgasms are, in fact, LEVEL 3 orgasms and I was just calling
them orgasms (sorry, orgasms). Maybe there is an entire world of pleasure I had
no idea even existed and I am an idiot. This would not be the first time this
has happened, like when I discovered there was a secret
menu at In-N-Out.

So where is this next-level
orgasm? How does one locate it? Is it just hidden in plain sight, there for the
taking? Pssst, the greatest orgasm of
your life is just up the stairs in the attic, next to those dusty quilt tops.
Must I only turn the corner in my mind to run smack into it, where we will
embrace and collapse into a trembling puddle of long overdue release if only I believe?

Here’s the other thing I should probably just come out with
already: I also don’t know what a level 2 orgasm is. Or even level 1. Honestly,
I just thought orgasms were great or not, mostly great, and at this point I
still haven’t even looked up what any level of orgasm is, because my head is
spinning with the sensation one has when they first learned that there is a
thing BETTER than the thing you already think is the greatest thing ever. It’s
like finding out that there’s a better record than Pet Sounds, or that THERE IS
A THIRD LEVEL ORGASM.

So imagine my relief when the writer at Nerve, a site about all the sex and sexy things, also didn’t know
what it was.
