No one taught me; I had to figure it out for myself, and there was a lot of trial and error involved.

I'd been having orgasms in my sleep since before the age of nine, and when I found out about the birds and bees, it wasn't hard to make the connection that the wonderful feeling that sometimes woke me out of a dead sleep was an orgasm. Knowing there was some way to make this happen while awake made me strive to do it because I knew how good orgasms felt.

It wasn't the easiest thing to figure out, though, because although I had been shown diagrams of the female reproductive system (cross section showing vagina, uterus, etc.) no one had explained the location of the clitoris very well, I was too shy to look it up at the library or ask someone, and we didn't have the Internet.

One day it happened quite by accident. I was stroking my clit (at least what I thought was my clit, which turned out to be correct) while inserting a rather girthy object in my pussy (don't ask) and blammo! I came, just like that!

Then I knew I was on to something and quickly began experimenting, learning I was multi-orgasmic among all kinds of other things, including the fact that unlike many women, I need to have vaginal stimulation in order to come.

It is not impossible for me to come from clitoral stimulation alone, but it's extremely difficult, so I usually don't attempt it.

I think my most important orgasm trigger is probably the G spot, rather than the clitoris, although clitoral stimulation is necessary for me to come (in my experience so far).
