The female orgasm is generally regarded as a magical, mysterious thing. It’s tricky to attain. It’s the best feeling on earth. It relies on all kinds of intriguing bits like the G spot and the clitoris.
But what does it actually feel like?
As you might expect, it’s different for different people. But the overall sense is that it’s rather nice.
We asked a bunch of women to describe what exactly an orgasm feels like for them. Here are their answers – some names have been changed as not everyone wants to publicly talk about cumming.
‘An orgasm feels a bit like the nice scratchy tickling feeling when someone strokes the inside of your arm, only way more intense.
‘It tends to build from moderate to really intense, and when you actually come it’s like a powerful rush which slowly subsides.
‘The sensation is closest to getting a really great massage, but with a sharper sensation.’
‘You just forget about everything shite for a moment, and the physical and mental kind of merge and it’s all good. It’s like a wave through your whole body that makes you lowkey high and completely glowy.
‘Basically if you’re wondering if you came you definitely didn’t because you could never mistake the feeling.’
‘I would say what I have felt is akin to finally scratching the itchiest itch.’
‘I think it feels like a massive release, and a way to be out of your own body for about ten seconds (I don’t know if that’s how long they last, it’s probably less than that, right?).
‘I don’t think it feels in any way like a sneeze, BUT the build up and release is similar but much much more satisfying.’
‘It feels like an all-encompassing avalanche.’
‘The best way to describe it is like a very intense, pleasurable sneeze. It’s like a release but because you’re not technically ‘releasing’ anything so it’s hard to explain.
‘On top of that you get a really warm fuzzy feeling throughout your body. A bit like after you have the first few sips of a really good gin and tonic.
‘If it’s a really good one your body kind of shudders and your clit kind of pulses and your cheeks feel hot.’
‘If it’s really intense I hysterically laugh after as the emotions all pour out of me. Or my eyes squeeze shut because I feel like I am going to cry and I can’t open them for a few mins.’
‘Well the feeling after is like when someone jumps out to scare you but then you realise it’s a joke and you feel satisfied that you’re safe. Like a deliciously tingly warm wave.
‘The actual orgasm is like an explosion.’
‘Like that loggers leap at Thorpe Park – Up up up intense intense and then boooooom splash a rush.’
‘Bottom of feet tingle and burn when I am about to release, that’s a constant thing but a lot of orgasms are different depending of how much build up there was or how into it you are feeling etc.’
‘I can feel downstairs squeezing tighter and tighter and tighter and then there’s a sudden burst and a rush through my entire body. it’s like a release, I tingle all over and there’s a pulsing as I orgasm.’
‘The climax feels like when you’re on the descent of a roller coaster, there’s a heartbeat in your groin and then suddenly you orgasm and it’s like jumping head first into a pool of pleasure.’
‘My spine tingles and I feel a massive euphoric feeling over my whole body and sometimes my vision goes blurred.’
‘It starts in my legs and moves up, my heads starts throbbing everything is pulsing I feel like might burst and I’m always a little scared.’
‘It just feels really warm, if that makes sense. Like, the warmth when you tuck yourself into a blanket – just really warm and comforting all over my body.’
‘It’s a release. It’s like you’ve got really tense without noticing, then you hit a threshold and all the tension floods out.’
‘At their best it is absolute euphoria where your entire body is in sync. A warm and intense pressure that builds and builds. If it’s at this level it is the best feeling in the world.’
‘What I imagine the physical embodiment of euphoria would be like.’
‘My description of an orgasm is that it feels like a warm sensation crawling all over your body.’

‘The best way I can describe the physical sensation is: If you were to lie down on a beach and feel the tide coming in, the sea’s just going up your legs, then away, then higher, then away.
‘Imagine the water is just a feeling of pleasure and relaxation. That’s what an orgasm feels like.’
‘It feels differently for every person, of course. Some orgasms feel better than others and they’re not always how they appear in films and TV shows i.e. earth-shatteringly-mind-bogglingly screaming the house down.
‘But, I’d say it’s a release/explosion of built up pleasure and pressure during sex (oral and penetrative) and masturbation.’
‘It feels like a flame down there that gets redder and redder until it melts into white light.
‘The light bursts into a Kaleidoscope of colourful butterflies that fly in waves over your body, singing in a very high tone. After five or six waves the butterflies seem to scatter and leave you breathing heavily.
‘It’s prickly. Not painful though.’
‘An overwhelming sensation which covers the whole body… kind of like stubbing your toe, but without the pain.’
‘Like your limbs have turned to clouds, and your core has turned to honey, and like you’re sinking into a warm bath. No, wait – like you ARE the warm bath. And everyone is welcome in.’

"That feeling you get when you crack your knuckles, except all over your whole body."
Every woman has wondered what the male orgasm feels like at one point or another. When you have different sex organs, you can’t help but wonder or feel at least a little curious about what their experience is like. Here, 20 guys try to describe the feeling of a male orgasm as best they can: 1. “ It feels like popping a really big zit except the zit is your penis and the pus is ejaculate. It doesn’t hurt, but it’s still the same.” —Michael, 24
2. “It feels like that moment in between falling asleep and waking up . Total escapism.” —Paul, 23
3. “It’s like the most satisfying experience of being invincible and relieved at the same time. It lasts only a few fleeting moments before you come back down to earth.” —Alex, 24
4. “It's almost like the feeling of being tickled while you have to pee , but in a good way.” —David*,28
5. “ It feels different depending on what it’s inside and how much buildup there is . Orgasming in something warm and wet (like a mouth or vagina) feels like arriving home after a long trip and collapsing into my bed–intensely relieving, pleasurable, and a little tiring but in a good way. Orgasming in my hand with little foreplay and no lube feels satisfying, but not particularly pleasurable, like the end of a workday or Netflix show. The constants: the spasming, the mess, and the immediate search for tissues.” —Matthew, 28
6. "On a physical level, it feels like your whole groin area is tensing up. It's like getting a cramp, but in a good way. Like, your dick is having a spasm, but it feels great. It's really hard to explain." — Tom, 24
7. "Like peeing, on molly." — Greg, 23
8. "It's exactly like your first sip of coffee in the morning, when, for a split second, the burden of knowing you're going to die is gone . " — Jim , 30
9. "It's like your penis takes over your brain for a few seconds. Like everything goes numb, except for this amazing sensation in your penis. You can't focus or feel anything else. You might as well not even exist. You're just this good feeling, and then it goes back to normal and you're like, 'Dammit.'" — Shawn, 22
10. "Imagine a tube of toothpaste that's almost empty and someone rolls it up and squeezes it as hard as they can and the toothpaste shoots out everywhere. Except the toothpaste is coming out of the most sensitive part of your body and it feels awesome." — Ryan, 25
11 . "Think back to the time when you had to pee really bad. Like, a road trip when you realized you had to go but had to wait an hour to get to the next rest stop. And you finally manage to find a bathroom. Remember that sense of relief. Now multiply that by 1,000. " —Brian, 27
12. "It's like eating your favorite food, except you're doing it with your penis." — Eric, 22
13. "Like when it's a really hot day and then you walk into a department store and the air conditioning hits you. It's that very first split-second, but over several seconds." — Chris, 29
14. "That feeling you get when you crack your knuckles, except all over your whole body." — Alex, 25
15. "I don't know. It sort of feels like when you get a cast off after having it on for a long time. Like, how right afterward, your arm feels really weird but really good? It's that but, like, more intense. Like, it's that feeling but it's so good you can't handle it." — Zach, 25
16. "I don't know. I don't even know where to begin. " — Tyler, 23
17. "There's this buildup right before, like getting to the top of a roller coaster. And then you sort of get that feeling like when you hit the drop after, but tingling. — Stan, 26
18. "It's so hard to describe because your brain shuts off. It's all physical pleasure and I don't even think I have the awareness to describe it. " — Brendan, 28
19. "Like your wiener is made of cotton candy. I don't know if that makes sense, but it's the first thing I thought of. I'm just going with my gut." — Noah, 26
20. "It's like when you go from the Jacuzzi to the freezing pool and then back to the Jacuzzi." — Curt , 28

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]
