There are many ways people achieve orgasm. People with spinal cord injuries are still able to feel an orgasm despite their nervous system damage. Studies have shown that autonomic nerves are responsible for sensations and remain intact even when nerve damage is present. In the absence of sexual intercourse, many individuals resort to masturbation. Sex toys such as artificial vaginas and vibrators are common masturbatory instruments. People have also found other ways of achieving orgasm.

People have found many ways of obtaining an orgasm. Even the human body has developed its own ways of keeping this bodily pleasure working.
