National Orgasm Day

National Orgasm Day is observed on July 31 and, despite its playful tone, it carries a deeper message. This day promotes open conversations about sexual health, pleasure, and intimacy. While people may joke or share stories, the holiday encourages us to understand our bodies better and eliminate the stigma surrounding sexual wellness.

History

National Orgasm Day is considered a spinoff of International Women’s Orgasm Day, which originated in Brazil in 2007. The goal was to raise awareness about female sexuality and improve sexual education. At the time, the holiday aimed to challenge cultural taboos that portrayed women’s pleasure as inappropriate. Surprisingly, it received support from local churches and organizations. Since then, the day has evolved into a broader celebration of sexual wellbeing for everyone.
