If you ask 17 women "What does an orgasm feel like?" you'll get 17 slightly different answers. Just like every body is different, every orgasm is different, but they all have one thing in common: They feel good. Whether from partnered sex or masturbation, there are few things that hit the spot as much as achieving orgasm .
"The brain and central nervous system are responsible for sexual responses like orgasm,” says Heather Corinna, author of S.E.X.: The All-You-Need-To-Know Progressive Sexuality Guide to Get You Through High School and College and founder of sex education site Scarleteen . “During sexual pleasure, all the nerve endings of your body (including your genitals, all linked to your nervous system) are in concert and communication with your brain, and vice-versa.”
The way orgasms feel varies from person to person. Here, we asked 17 women what an orgasm feels like and here's what they had to say.
“Screaming for joy. Feeling everything and nothing at the same time.”
“Like tangling up a bunch of Christmas lights inside you and then blowing a fuse.”
“The stars emoji mixed with the explosion emoji.”
“I think the best thing about an orgasm is that you can't really be thinking about anything else besides your own pleasure. It's all-consuming and euphoric.”
“In romantic terms: Uninhibited release of control, of self-consciousness, of everything.”
“If you were to ask me to physically describe the feeling: It's like a really wonderful and powerful sneeze in your vagina. The kind of sneeze that you can sense building up for a while, and then it happens and is just the most satisfying sneeze and you hope you have to sneeze again.”
“You know when Sailor Moon floats up into the air as a beam of light shines through her body and she transforms into a superhero? That.”
“The feeling is the same level of happiness as when you're sprawled out on a lounge chair on a tropical beach, and unironically order a [non-alcoholic] strawberry daiquiri because you are unstoppable.”
“An orgasm feels like electric dominoes are falling down in different directions under your skin.”
“It's a buildup of tension that arches your back and curls your toes, almost like a clenching feeling. And just when you think you can't take it anymore, suddenly all that tension is released and pulses throughout your body. It's the best relief.”
“Like a real moment in the day that's just for you (and maybe your partner too, if you have one). It doesn't work if you're distracted, at least not for me.”
“When it's really good it's like an out-of-body experience, like I can feel my clitoris on a roller-coaster ride but my soul and mind are on a whole other level of connection with myself or the person I'm with and it takes over my body. Usually it leaves my whole body shaking and I can't stand up for a few minutes.”
“It's similar to your body falling off a cliff into a pile of tingling ecstasy. It's a sense of sensual release that you find yourself having no control over and letting yourself go because it's just too damn good. An earth-shattering female orgasm is one of a kind.”
“Like a hard candy and you suck on it and then all of a sudden you get to the center and it's the burst of flavor.”
“The relief of walking up the stairs to your fifth-floor walk-up into your air-conditioned apartment.”
“Like melting chocolate in the microwave.”
“Remember the first time you tried an avocado or ate avocado toast? That feeling of bliss and taste of deliciousness? That's what an orgasm feels like.”
Studies suggest that orgasms can actually benefit your health. Orgasms trigger the release of dopamine, endorphins, and oxytocin , which, in addition to making you feel amazing, have also been shown to lower blood pressure . Women who masturbate to orgasm also report having higher self-esteem than women who don't, leading to better overall mental health. Orgasms have even been shown to have positive effects on the gut health , improving digestion, decreasing bloating and ameliorating the negative effects of anxiety and depression.
Over half of American adults say they masturbate one to four times a week, according to the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior , making it an easy and popular way to reap the health benefits of regular orgasm. Another huge benefit? Better sleep.
“For people having difficulty sleeping, it helps them sleep,” said Dr. Jennifer Berman , urologist and sexual health expert. “It can help to limit stress and tension. It can help to relieve pain in the body. It can even relieve menstrual cramps."
The best thing about getting to know your body and your sexuality is that you don’t need a partner to reap the benefits of orgasms.
Shailene Woodley said it best when she talked about the importance of young women learning about masturbation. “As a young woman you don’t learn how to pleasure yourself, you don’t learn what an orgasm should be, you don’t learn that you should have feelings of satisfaction. I’ve always had a dream of making a book called There’s No Right Way to Masturbate ," she said .

Orgasm is also commonly known as cumming or coming. It is difficult to put into words as everyone describes it differently; however, there is no need to feel bad if you are not sure whether you had one or not. Since sex is entirely exciting it can be tricky to know about reaching your climax during sex. However, feeling this way is totally normal and acceptable especially when you first begin to masturbate or if you have recently become sexually active.
When the sexual tension is at its max, you are more likely to have an orgasm, followed by the release of pressure in the genitals and the body. At times it is very intense like a rollercoaster as if you are on top of the hill and then freefall down; other times it may feel like a Ferris wheel ride. So it basically varies individual to individual and intercourse to intercourse.
As it is no surprise that every person differs from the other; however there are some common signs that may indicate that you had or you are having an orgasm.
Orgasm cause the release of endorphins, hormones responsible for relaxing you and making you feel good, so you are likely to fall asleep or feel uber-blissed afterwards. Perhaps that's the reason why few people choose to masturbate to alleviate stress or pain or simply to get a good night sleep. Don't panic if your clit feels extra sensitive after cumming i.e. you may feel uncomfortable after touching it.
As established earlier, not all orgasms are similar i.e. some may blow your mind while others will hardly stir any shiver whereas some lie in between these two due to a lot of reasons such as your comfort level, the number of orgasms you've had lately and how much the sexual tension was intensified before the foreplay ended. The more frequent you have them, the better it would be for you to explore your own climax and understand how to heat things up even further.
Women reach orgasm in a different manner as compared to men. It is a personal and a sensual experience and each woman experiences it differently. Even a single woman can experience multiple types of orgasms, at times she may feel it as something quite empowering, other times she may feel it as something frivolous. So if your orgasm is like that, then do not lose hope, good things are coming! One or two or maybe three bad fleeting orgasms can't conclude your entire sexual life. Things can be very different in the future.
"Orgasm makes me feel very overwhelmed and I experience this tingling in my entire body. I become light headed, and same goes for the body; it feels very light too, my vision becomes blurry and cherry on top, I get this intoxicating and almost electrifying sensation in my clit."
"I once came in a way that kind of blacked me out. It all began with a pulsating feeling followed by spinning of my head and uncontrollable shaking of my body. To describe it more accurately, it felt like volcano eruption down there! In the end I collapsed next to him, unable to speak, move or even think."
"What does an orgasm feel like? For me, first I experience muscle contraction then there's quivering of my upper thighs. I begin to sweat lightly and it feels like someone ignited the faucet inside of me. I'm certain I've had my orgasm when I've this urge to grab some snack or sleep after having sex."
"I know I’m cumming when my breathing becomes irregular and I lose my concentration from everything, completely losing myself. My body feels paralyzed and I hold on to the joy that comes about by the explosion going inside of me. It's truly exhilarating and amazing simultaneously. I collapse on my husband and beg him to stop moving."
"Orgasm to me feels like exploding and melting at the exact time. I lose control of myself and I forget about everything, every worry and every concern I have there in the corner of my head."
"My body feels lighter and I start hyperventilating, and suddenly there are sparks inside me and waves of pleasure crashing through my entire body. The feeling is just so intense that at times my muscles sort of don't want to work anymore and enjoy every bit of that moment."
Is there drastic difference in orgasm with each sex? Male orgasm is particularly intense, short and can be experienced usually once every sexual intercourse. On the other hand, with proper stimulation females can orgasm multiple times during a single sex session with a short recovery period. Male orgasm causes the release of hormones like nitric oxide, vasopressin, oxytocin, serotonin and norepinephrine and prolactin, making it extremely difficult for men to stay awake after sex.
"It buildups quickly or slowly, depending on the situation. Then there’s explosion for 3-5 seconds, followed by a mild feeling of shame and then I have this urge to take a nap."
"I feel like it is some dire need and I get super thirsty for my body begins to ache for and then it's as if I’m looking up at the waterfall ready to quench my thirst. It’s like a creeping feeling that I want to stop but it won’t and it’s making me happy at the same time."
"My orgasm is more like a physical feeling. My body and mind begins feeling numb and I start feeling both helpless and in control. My thoughts begin to cloud and I start concentrating on that one point of pleasure ready to escape my body."
"Male orgasm is completely different from jerking off. When I cum, I feel like a climax building up inside me and it gets even better when I cum inside someone else, as if I'm transferring a part of me to that person. I feel so vulnerable and the feeling is just out of this world."
"The intensity of my orgasm increases when I hold it as long as I can. Letting go when I’m almost there also feels great but holding myself at the edge and pulling it back again and again for long, results in massive buildup that pays off the self-control better than it’s worth."
"My girlfriend cums longer than me. I experience rapid bursts lasting for five seconds or so. It feels great but I personally think, females orgasm better than males."
Practice makes perfect. Sounds cliché? But it is as true as it can be. Frequent masturbation will help you reach your climax and it will allow you to understand what an orgasm really feels like. Experience can help you identify whether you cum readily or you need a lot of stimulation. You’ll learn better what your body is most sensitive to and what kind of particular stroke or pressure level can make you have your big O.

An orgasm is the height or peak of sexual arousal when the body releases sexual tension and pressure. It involves very intense feelings of pleasure in your genitals and throughout your body.
An orgasm usually lasts a few seconds and feels very good.
Orgasm occurs during sexual stimulation of your genitals and sexual (erogenous) zones of your body. These include the:
An orgasm can occur during masturbation or during sex with a partner. It is one of four stages in the body’s sexual response cycle :
Having an orgasm is also called climaxing, cumming, or having the “big O.”

Certain things happen throughout your body during orgasm:
Muscle contractions play an important role in orgasm. For example, the muscles of your vagina and uterus often contract. This may cause a small amount of fluid to release from your genitals. Likewise, the muscles at the base of your penis contract, which usually leads to ejaculation (when the body releases semen).
In the few minutes after orgasm, your body slowly returns to its normal state. As you recover:
Some people may become sexually aroused again a few minutes after orgasm and can have multiple orgasms. Some need more time before they can orgasm again. This differs widely from person to person.
There are different kinds of orgasms, including:
Orgasm is generally intense and pleasurable. But it can feel different for everyone, and it can even feel different for a person each time. All of the differences are normal and healthy.
During orgasm, your body releases dopamine, known as “the feel-good hormone,” and oxytocin, sometimes called “the love drug.” These hormones increase feelings of happiness and other positive emotions, and they counteract the “stress hormone,” cortisol.
Many people have to experiment with different methods and communicate well with their partners before they can achieve orgasm.
Other factors also can interfere with the ability to reach sexual climax:
If you have trouble having an orgasm and it bothers you, talk to a healthcare provider. Some people have sexual dysfunction , disorders that interfere with orgasm. You can speak to a primary care provider (PCP) to learn more. Or, to address sexual dysfunction in females , you may want to visit a gynecologist.
Research indicates that orgasms have several health benefits, including improvements in:
An orgasm is a pleasurable feeling at the height of sexual arousal. Everyone experiences orgasm differently, and many factors can affect your ability to climax. Talk to a healthcare provider if trouble reaching orgasm is bothering you.

The orgasm you might have in any particular situation can vary based on lots of things including intensity, sensation, situation, excitement, and even possible fears or inhibitions.
