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.

"It's like the burst you feel when you get a text from your crush... but in your vagina."
If you took sex-ed at school, you probably learned all about pregnancy, STIs , and safe sex practices . While all of that is super important, there's a pretty good chance that your teacher never once uttered the word "orgasm" throughout the semester. Which, is pretty weird, considering it's a natural biological function, and sexual pleasure is a normal, healthy part of life.
Let's actually talk about orgasms for a sec. An orgasm is what happens when a person reaches the height of sexual excitement, which comes with feelings of pleasure and muscle contractions in the genitals. For men, this moment also means ejaculating — but let’s talk about the other, awesome kind of orgasm: the vaginal kind.
Since sex-ed teachers aren't discussing it, I talked to Dr. Melisa Holmes, adolescent gynecologist and cofounder of Girlology to answer your most pressing questions about the biological reaction so you can feel more comfortable with your body and the sexual pleasure you deserve.
An orgasm is a physical reflex, brought on through sexual stimulation, most commonly that of the clitoris, which is the most sensitive organ in the vagina. "It's a build up to a time frame during sexual stimulation where there's just this big release of pleasure," says Dr. Holmes. During sexual arousal, blood flow increases to the genitals and your muscles tense throughout your body. The orgasm then "reverses this process through a series of rhythmic contractions," according to Brown University. During an orgasm, "endorphins are released into the bloodstream and these chemicals might make you feel happy, giddy, flushed, warm or sleepy."
Different people are stimulated by different sexual acts, but it really all comes back to the clitoris. Some people may also require the additional sensation of vaginal penetration to orgasm. In general, when you're reaching climax, the clitoris will get engorged and lubricated. "The clitoris may just look like a little bump on the outside, but it actually has a lot more to it on the inside and just the stimulation of that creates this intense kind of burst of pleasurable feelings," says Dr. Holmes.
There are other erogenous zones that feel good when kissed and touched, but they probably won't stimulate an orgasm. "A true orgasm really does require genital stimulation and most medical providers will tell you it stems from the clitoris," Dr. Holmes says.
There's nothing wrong with experimenting and figuring out what allows you to reach sexual climax. It could be oral stimulation of the clitoris, rubbing on the inner thigh, or a mix of multiple things. "The best way to learn, if you're curious, is to teach yourself, give yourself an orgasm," Dr. Holmes says. "Don't rely on other people. I think that's really important to understand that they can make themselves have an orgasm probably better than anyone else can. And they don't need a partner to do that."
An orgasm feels different for everyone, but there are some common experiences like heavy breathing, body vibrations, and sweating. Orgasms can be mild or overwhelming, they range from person to person and time to time. We asked some real girls what orgasms feel like and this is what they said:
"It's like the burst you feel when you get a text from your crush... but in your vagina." — Cam, 15
"I would compare orgasms to going out to eat. You wait and wait for your food, very excited for this meal, then the meal gets there and you take your first bite and you're flooded with happiness. Take a food orgasm and times it by 10!" — Evie, 17
"My clit pulses — a lot. It gets super, super sensitive. Also, I can feel my vaginal walls involuntarily clench, too." — Annie, 20
"Having orgasms makes me feel connected to my own body. It was revolutionary to me the first time I had one. I've had this body my whole life and was missing out on something so big." — Alexis, 17
"Uncontrollable, amazing tingling sensation all over the body." — Kendra, 18
"Like I have no control over my body whatsoever with a ticklish sensation... in the most sexy way possible." — Taylor, 22
As you can see, it feels a little different for everyone, but the common denominator is it feels good.
According to Brown University, one in three people have trouble orgasming from sex with their partner. Since some need clitoral stimulation to climax, simple penetrative sex might not get you there.
When you first start exploring your sexuality, it can take a little bit of time to discover what makes you climax.
Masturbation is the easiest way to explore what will allow you to reach sexual stimulation. Different rhythms, sensations, and pleasures affect people differently. If you're exploring with a partner, there's nothing wrong with asking them to focus on a specific area or action.
There are also external factors, like stress, that may affect your ability to orgasm. "A lot of an orgasm also stems from our brain," Dr. Holmes says. "We have to feel comfortable and safe to have good sexual function." Using drugs and alcohol can also affect one’s ability to climax.
"Everyone thinks alcohol makes sex better," Dr. Holmes says. "And a tiny little bit of alcohol might enhance your sexual experience because it decreases your inhibitions, but too much alcohol can absolutely prevent orgasm. If you're drunk, you may not even notice the stimulation as much, you're a little more numb." Prescription drugs can have a similar affect. "Especially the SSRIs that are used for depression and anxiety. Those are the most common drugs that prevent or inhibit orgasm," Dr. Holmes says.
This is a complicated question because, no, technically you don't have to orgasm during sex. Vaginal penetration or stimulation can still feel good without reaching sexual climax. And biologically-speaking, even if you're trying to have a baby, a vaginal orgasm isn't necessary (of course, the penis must ejaculate because sperm is needed to fertilize the egg). That being said, there may be a biological reason why we have vaginal orgasms: so that we want to have sex again. "It makes sense that sex feels good so that you are willing to have sex," Dr. Holmes says. "So the species can be perpetuated."
So, if you're not orgasming every time with your partner, it's NBD. That being said, if you want to orgasm and you feel like your partner isn't spending the time on you to reach climax, have a conversation about it. If they care about you, they'll put in the extra work to make you feel good.

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]
