I challenge you to describe, in detail, exactly how an orgasm feels. It's basically impossible - if I were to attempt such a thankless task, I could only say: "It feels like, kind of... oomphnahh". Do you get what I mean?
Luckily, there are 8 other (and a lot more articulate) women to explain that precise moment for me. Cheers pals.
(Clitoral) After a few strokes the whole bottom half of my body becomes extremely relaxed. The pleasure builds up and I feel it coming. Then an explosion of pleasure takes over everything from the waist down. The feeling trickles down through my legs and everything is completely relaxed. [Via]
First you feel it in your inner thighs and it feels warm. Then your can feel the same feeling but warmer and more intense in your lower stomach and the more you try to hold this feeling in, the better it gets. Then snap it spreads out in your whole "downstairs" and it's more twitching and... what can you call it? Physical feeling? And this keeps going like this for about 15 seconds. It's amazing. [Via]
You know when you watch a really suspenseful movie and at some point you realise that your entire body is wound up and tense? And then, when the suspense finally breaks when the bad guy jumps out of the closet or whatever and there is that feeling or tingles and relief. It's kinda like that. But really sexy. [Via]
You know that light-headed feeling? Imagine your whole body feeling like that, with a wave as if your entire body is 'asleep' (like when your foot falls asleep). I feel really sensitive for a while afterward. I have a tonne of energy and I am really excited but then I want to sleep... so I understand when guys just want to sleep! [Via]
It feels warm.. and then it feels really warm. Then everything feels good and its like a wave of awesomeness... then it goes away and everything is sensitive and I need water. [Via]
It is like a warm, tingling wave that starts at your centre and just radiates outward. It can be frustratingly blissful as you start to build and then lose it and then build again and each time you start to climb that mountain it becomes more intense and desperate.
I feel like someone hit the off switch on any cares I might have. It is like being drunk but better. I call it "Sex Drunk" and it is amazing. [Via]
[A clitoral orgasm] feels like really hot, but not unpleasant, water building up into a small tsunami surrounding and building up pressure inside my body, behind my clit.
"It rides its way up my abdomen, spine, and works its way down my extremities, leaving goosebumps in its wake. The waves cause spasmming along their route. [Via]
G-spot: My whole body tightens like a spring, with more pressure building each time it's hit. When the dam bursts, I nearly blackout. With every vaginal spasm, the waves pound over my entire body at once and make me completely lose muscle control. It. Is. Bliss. [Via]
Difference between clitoral and vaginal orgasm
The answer you entered for the CAPTCHA was not correct.
Nice to see a answer on female orgasms that includes the fact the Clitoris actually extends down and around the vagina and lower portion of the anus.
So many assume the Clit and Vagina are separate entities when they are actually as you said "as a network of nerves and muscles".
I'm always blown away how many females don't know their own anatomy and how it works. Many miss out on great sex because of this.
Awesome Alice!
Great explanation! Also, the comment before mine (posted Feb 17, 2014) adds a great deal to your explanation. I think the best orgasmic experience occur with both focused, (often deep) vaginal penetration and external clitoris stimulation.
im not sure about this explaination, but i think its important for girls to know that the inside of their vagina, the hole,, the part where there cervix hangs down and connects does get simulateed seperatly from the clitoris. NOT only does it get simulated seperatly, but when engorgered with blood, ridges inside become more pronouce and provide a greater feeling for the penis. this provides great feeling and much different oragasmic feeling from the outside of the clitoris. NOT all women may experience, i had not until i was in my 30's. For those that do, it is well worth it. I perfer this to a clitorial stimulation. SEX is quicker, faster, and this is one thing I cant give myself.
Can’t find information on the site about your health concern or issue?
Vagina more pleasurable than clitoris?
Is this pre-cum, or something else? Is this normal?
Can masturbation or using a sex toy desensitize the clitoris? And would my partner prefer her sex toy over me?

What's the difference between a vaginal and clitoral orgasm? Is it only possible to have a vaginal orgasm during intercourse? If you can have a clitoral orgasm through other activity, but not intercourse, why is that? If your clitoris is stimulated during intercourse, will that give you a clitoral orgasm during sex? So how do you have a vaginal one? Can you have both at the same time?
Oh, oh, baby! There are many factors that contribute to how an orgasm feels. One variable is the type of physical stimulation, and to what body parts. A “vaginal orgasm” is the notion that women can have an orgasm through stimulation during intercourse or other vaginal penetration, entirely without clitoral stimulation. However, the vagina has few nerve endings, and therefore cannot create an orgasm on its own. Instead of thinking of the vagina and clitoris as separate entities, try thinking about them as a network of nerves and muscles.
In reality, total separation between the vagina and clitoris is mostly artificial, and often based on a misunderstanding of what, where, and how big the clitoris really is. The clitoral organ system actually surrounds the vagina, urethra and anus. Rather than thinking of an orgasm as "vaginal" or "clitoral", it makes more sense to think of orgasm in terms of the feelings that came along with it. In the end, an orgasm is an orgasm is an orgasm!
Here’s a little bit of history for you: Sigmund Freud made a pronouncement that the "mature" woman has orgasms only when her vagina, but not her clitoris, is stimulated — this is commonly referred to as the “vaginal orgasm”. The emphasis on stimulation from penetration made the man's penis central to a woman's sexual satisfaction. It is important to emphasize that Freud did not base his theory upon a study of woman's anatomy, but rather upon his assumptions of woman as inferior to men.
Back to the basics, stimulating the clitoris and (for some women) pressure in or around the vagina can cause pelvic fullness and body tension to build up to a peak. During sexual excitement, the clitoris swells and changes position. The blood vessels through the whole pelvic area also swell, causing engorgement and a feeling of fullness and sexual sensitivity. The inner vaginal lips swell and change shape, and the vagina balloons upward, causing the uterus to shift position. Orgasm is the point at which all the tension is suddenly released in a series of involuntary and pleasurable muscular contractions in the vagina, uterus, and/or rectum.
You or a partner can stimulate your clitoris in a number of different ways — by rubbing, sucking, body pressure, or using a vibrator. Although some women touch the glans of the clitoris to become aroused, for others it can be so sensitive that direct touching hurts, even with lubrication. Also, focusing directly on the clitoris for a long time may cause the pleasurable sensations to disappear. Your clitoris can also be stimulated during sexual intercourse, most often with the woman on top — this happens when the clitoris is rubbed against the man's pubic bone. It can also be achieved when the man is on top if the man positions himself high enough so that his pubic bone presses against his partner's clitoral area. You or your partner can also stimulate your clitoris with fingers during intercourse to help bring you to orgasm.
Aside from clitoral stimulation, it is important to remember another major organ involved with orgasm — the brain! Emotions, perceptions, memories, and senses determine how we experience sex, rather than past experiences or physical appearance alone. Mental (cortical) stimulation, where the imagination stimulates the brain, can actually help set off an orgasm. Relaxing and concentrating on sensations (rather than worrying about how you’re doing) can help your brain process your pleasure.
Overall, orgasms are a very individualistic thing — there is no one correct pattern of sexual response. Whatever works, feels good, and makes you feel more alive and connected with your body (and partner if you have one) are what count!

When women ask me, ‘How do I know if I’ve had an orgasm?’ my answer is always this: if you have to ask, you haven’t had a clitoral orgasm, though you may have climaxed vaginally.
Vaginal orgasms feel wonderful but they’re sometimes vague and undramatic.
Clitoral orgasms are peel-me-off-the-ceiling stuff.
The feeling is so powerful and immistakeable, you’ve got as much chance of ‘missing’ it as you have of not noticing Donald Trump sitting in your living room!
But even if you do have very obvious and regular orgasms, most people are curious about them.
Do they feel the same for everyone?
Are ours different from other people’s?
Does his orgasm feel different than hers?
Biologically, everyone moves through the same stages.
We become aroused , then move to a plateau phase (highly aroused), onto orgasm , then resolution (when the body returns to normal).
Psychologically, it’s unlikely everyone experiences the same sensations since orgasms appear to be as individual as the people who have them.
Nevertheless, in an attempt to answer the questions, here’s what one (anonymous) representative of each sex said when I asked them to describe what their orgasms felt like – from the very first, tentative flutter right through to the passionate finale.
"The orgasms I have through intercourse are very different from clitoral based ones but it all starts with a dull, aching feeling in my lower belly and often a need to be “filled up”.
As I'm having sex, the aching feeling builds and then peaks, spreading into mild, pleasurable waves that I feel deep inside.
I can feel everything spasm, but less fiercely than with a clitoral orgasm.
Vaginal orgasms affect a larger area – like waves of pleasure are crashing all over my body.
Clitoral orgasms all radiate from the clitoris: they’re more a euphoric explosion, an eruption.
I can bring myself to a clitoral orgasm within a few minutes but I need to know and relax with a partner before he can give me one.
That’s because I have to concentrate, block him out of the picture and focus entirely on the sensation - in other words, I have to think about me, not my partner.
Oral sex orgasms are the best – really intense, strong and powerful.
I think it’s because tongues are much softer and gentler: the biggest mistake men make with women is they’re too rough.
When he starts giving me oral sex, I feel incredibly sensitive and everything feels great.
That sensation then becomes sharper and isolates around the clitoris.
It’s weird but sometimes it feels as though the rest of my body disappears and all that’s left is that tiny little area - if someone chopped my arm off at that point, I wouldn’t know!
All I’m aware of is what’s happening to that centimetre or less of flesh.
At that point, I deliberately tense up the muscles in my legs and bottom and I start to feel really hot, almost like I’m burning up.
Then, as I climax, I can feel things pulsating and there’s about 10 or 15 seconds of exquisite sensation.
Even if I don’t make any noise, I usually can’t help breathing heavily and faster though I know lots of women who hold their breath.
Sometimes, I’ll have three or four intense spasms in a row, maybe 10 seconds each, then nothing.
Other times, especially if he continues doing his stuff, they’re followed by smaller waves, spaced less closely.
After orgasm, I push him away immediately – I’m way too sensitive to be touched.
I sometimes feel a bit faint, so lie back for a minute or two.
I guess that’s why French women nickname orgasm le petit mort , the little death.
I think a lot of women think they have orgasms but haven’t experienced one at all.
They think they have them because sensations build then ebb away but that’s not an orgasm, that’s just desire.
In some ways, I’d like to be a man because it seems so easy for them.
Men try to put off their orgasms for as long as possible but women are always trying to induce theirs.
I don’t know any woman who, when she feels an orgasm coming, tries to stop it. Why would she?
Women have to be in a certain head space to climax; orgasms aren’t that easy to achieve.
I guess the equaliser is men’s orgasms seem quicker than ours and they can’t have them as often.
It’s easy for women to ‘miss’ an orgasm as well.
My orgasms vary between incredibly powerful to tiny, little ones that barely bleep on the radar.
Sometimes there’s a massive build up and then it all just seems to disappear without any fuss at all!
I’m not sure why they vary so much: sometimes it’s to do with being tired, other times because I’ve drunk too much - alcohol makes everything feel numb and makes it harder to climax!”
If I’m seeing a girl that night and know I’ll be having sex, I’ll look down during the day and find I’ve got an erection even though I’m not aware of it.
Obviously my subconscious is having a heyday.
Despite what women think, the more teasing and foreplay the better.
The feeling of everything filling up with blood and becoming erect is fantastic.
It happens really quickly – one minute there’s nothing, the next ready for action.
I feel quite tingly everywhere and I love that feeling so I’ll put off the moment of penetration for as long as possible – the anticipation is almost as good as the real thing.
If you’re with a guy who’s trying to rush things at this point, you can bet he’s trying to hurry everything up in case you change your mind!
Spontaneous, fast sex is great but usually, the more touching and caressing she does the better.
Just before I climax, I can feel the semen travelling up the shaft in a rush of fluid.
Once you feel that happening, ejaculation is inevitable.
You’re better off accepting that’s it’s all over Rover once you’re at that point.
If I try and stop it happening because I want it to last longer, it still happens but it feels all rushed and I don’t feel fulfilled.
It’s a bit like being fed your favourite food intravenously: the end result is the same but there’s no pleasure in it.
My brain has to be conscious of me having an orgasm before it registers the nice part; your body and mind have to be in tune.
It feels like you’ve been holding onto something forever and are then allowed to let go.
The semen pumps out in jerky spasms and I feel this body-shattering intense pleasure.
My orgasm seems to last about six seconds though my friends have told me theirs last only two to three. I’m either lucky or my sense of timing is shot!
If I haven’t had sex with a girl for a while, it’s best if I have a few orgasms solo first, otherwise I orgasm too quickly and it doesn’t feel as good.
I think most men are always trying to think of ways to make their orgasms last longer because they’re usually so short.
Orgasms feel different when she gives me oral sex, more acute and protracted.
I’d never knock it
