An orgasm is an emotional and physical experience that occurs during a “sexual response cycle”. Before an orgasm, your body becomes increasingly excited. Breathing, heart rate and blood pressure increases. The pupils of the eyes dilate; the lips of the mouth darken, the nipples become erect, the clitoris swells, becomes hard and exposed, (much like the aroused penis). With increased excitement, the skin becomes flushed and it begins to sweat.\n\nIn women, the labia, clitoris, vagina and pelvic organs enlarge in very much the same way as the aroused penis enlarges. Sometimes there is a plateau of excitement which is held for several minutes before you are about to orgasm.\n\nOrgasm is the point at which all the tension is suddenly released in a series of involuntary and pleasurable muscular contractions that may be felt in the vagina and/or uterus (some women do experience orgasms without contractions).\n\nThe orgasm happens when excitement seems to go over the edge -- a climax or crescendo is reached which may last several seconds or longer. During orgasm the body stiffens and the muscles contract. Involuntary muscle contractions and spasms may occur in various parts of the body, including your legs, stomach, arms, and back. The muscles of the vagina relax and contract rapidly, as do the muscles of the uterus. The glands of the vagina (Bartholin's glands) discharge a watery secretion, which acts to lubricate the vagina.\n\nThe main physical changes that occur during a sexual experience are a result of vasocongestion. This is the accumulation of blood in various parts of the body. Muscular tension increases and other changes occur throughout your body also.

I have already readed it, it's very usefull.\n"\nA Bigger Better Orgasm \n\nBoth men and woman can use the following techniques to make orgasms longer, stronger, more intense and, ultimately, more healthful. \n\n1. GAIN PELVIC MUSCLE CONTROL The pubococcygeal (PC) muscle group, which supports the pelvic floor, is the one that spasms when you have an orgasm. If it's in good shape, more blood will flow to the pelvic area during arousal and the PC will contract more strongly, making orgasms last longer and feel more intense. To paraphrase a statement about scientific discovery, "Orgasm favors the prepared body." Kegel exercises are a simple way to strengthen PC muscles. To do them, squeeze the muscle you use to voluntarily hold back your urine. Hold for two seconds and then release. Repeat 20 times, three times a day. \n\n2. CONTROL VOLUNTARY MOVEMENTS IN SEX You may already realize that some of the phenomena happening to your body during sex are under your control. While you cannot voluntarily increase and decrease your heart rate, you can take charge of various voluntary activities and thereby improve your sexual sensations. \n\nAs you approach orgasm, try speeding up your breathing and alternately tensing and relaxing your arm or leg muscles. During another session of lovemaking, practice squeezing or fluttering your PC muscle. The main behavioral principle is to choose one physical aspect of orgasm that you can control and overpractice it. Soon you will have trained your body so that all of these responses will work together effortlessly and occur spontaneously during future orgasms. \n\n3. MONITOR YOUR AROUSAL LEVELS As you make love, note your arousal levels on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being orgasm. As you reach each level, briefly stop and allow your arousal to subside so that rather than shooting straight for the moon, your arousal rises in a wave-like pattern. This technique, known as peaking, results in intense orgasms, possibly because it optimizes endorphin release. \n\nIn a related exercise, plateauing, squeeze your PC muscle, change your breathing, change your focus or change your speed in order to stay at high arousal levels for a long time prior to orgasm. Learning peaking and plateauing with a partner helps you develop a shared language of arousal and orgasm. "

It's different. Try it. It's intense. It's the same orgasm, but it's not the same. I'm talking about using a vibrator for clitoral stimulation. The vibration goes so fast that it causes a different sensation, a very, very pleasurable sensation, and you can slow it down or speed it up, press it down harder or more gently so it just tickles, start and stop and tease. Get one! Get one that you can use underwater in the bathtub, that's great too! The "other" orgasm, the g-spot orgasm, is different, you can get that from penetration with a vibrator (they even have g-spot specific vibrators that are bent for easy access) or from having vaginal sex. I can't tell you about that one, though cause  I've never had one.

To answer this, I believe we first need to look at the definition of an orgasm. An Orgasm is the peak of sexual excitement, where males usually ejaculate. So assuming that every mammal reproduces sexually, it would be safe to assume that most mammals do have orgasms of some sort.

When you orgasm, all your muscles tense up.  So depending on how hard your orgasm is, you might tense your muscles up even more.  The shaking comes from releasing the tension in your muscles and them finally relaxing.

Masturbation is the manual excitation of the sexual organs, most often to the point of orgasm. It can refer to excitation either by oneself or by another (see mutual masturbation), but the term commonly refers to such activities performed alone. It is part of a larger set of activities known as autoeroticism, which also includes the use of sex toys and non-genital stimulation. There are also masturbation machines used to simulate intercourse. Masturbation and sexual intercourse are the two most common sexual practices, but they are not mutually exclusive (for example, many people find the sight of their partner masturbating highly erotic). Some people are able to achieve orgasm only through masturbation and not sexual intercourse. In the animal kingdom, masturbation has been observed in many mammalian species, both in the wild and in captivity.

No. Not every person feels the same during orgasm. I don't know how you feel during orgasm... but I feel different at different times. It is always pleasent... but sometimes it is Great... and sometimes it is Greater... Thankfully I have hit the Greatest many times.  The person you are having an orgasm with plays an important part in just how Great you feel!!!

Males can have as many orgasms as womans, that's no doubt. Ejaculation is usually associated with orgasm, but one can have orgasm without ejaculation. Actually, the quantity of sperm ejaculated is just a matter of physiological structure of each person. Some might produce a larger amount and might not ejaculate it all in one session (orgasm). Hence, in just a few successive orgasms you might lose all the quantity, then your body will have to produce another one, before a next ejaculation. Meanwhile, the orgasms might still happen, providing thet the male in charge has enough energy to keep moving.

It is a French word roughly translated as enjoyment.  Quite literally it means whatever 'gets you off'.  Transcendant Bliss.

You get this building of presure in the walls of your vagina.  It gets really hot and sensitive.  Then when you can't take the building of pressure anymore you let it go and all this creamy fluid comes out and you can't touch your clit anymore.  It is cum that comes out when a woman has an orgasm, what else would the fluid be called?

A woman's orgasm may serve a purpose as far as the reproductive aspect of it goes. It is said that he female orgasm helps to draw sperm up through the cervix and uterus, thus aiding fertilization and reproduction. Fertility specialists sometimes tell women to lie on their backs and masturbate to orgasm after being artificially inseminated. Female orgasm is correlated with higher fertility rates and more babies.\n\nAnd as far as your "why does it happen" question goes, sex and orgasms are pleasurable. regurdless of whether people are married or even capable of procreation. I don't see what "the bible" has to do with this. \n\nPersonally, I'm agnostic, and don't believe in "god" or "the bible".

Masturbation can be defined as self-stimulation to cause sexual sensations. The use of the word masturbation usually suggests that the person is manipulating his or her genitals to the point of intense pleasure or orgasm. (Orgasm refers to a period of intense excitement in which genital muscles enter in to a series of highly-pleasurable contractions or movements). \nWhile masturbation can involve another person, most of us think of it as a very private act. According to some health care providers masturbation allows a healthy way to express & explore your sexuality and to release sexual tension without all the associated risks of sexual intercourse. Health professionals generally agree that this private touching is a natural, normal mode of self-exploration and sexual expression. Unfortunately, after the excitement of the moment has passed, many people find themselves filled with guilty and or shame.

General\nBoth males and females can experience orgasms, but the exact response varies across gender. Generally speaking, orgasm is the third stage of four in the human sexual response cycle, which is the currently accepted model of the physiological process of sexual stimulation.\n\nShared physiology\nOrgasm is the conclusion of the plateau phase of the sexual response cycle, shared by males and females alike. During orgasm, both males and females experience quick cycles of muscle contraction in the lower pelvic muscles, which surround both the anus and the primary sexual organs.\n\nOrgasms in both men and women are often associated with other involuntary actions, including vocalizations and muscular spasms in other areas of the body. Also, a generally euphoric sensation is associated with orgasm.\n\nAfterwards, orgasm generally causes perceived tiredness, and both males and females often feel a need to rest. This is recently attributed to the release of prolactin[1]. Prolactin is a typical neuroendocrine response in depressed mood and irritation[2].\n\nA recent study at the University of Groningen has indicated significant differences in brain activity during the female and male orgasm. PET scans showed that both the female and male orgasm 'shut down' areas in the brain associated with anxiety and fear (the Amygdala). It was found that the male orgasm focused the brain on sensory input from the genitals more than a female orgasm.\n\n\nHuman male orgasm\nIn a human male orgasm, there are rapid, rhythmic contractions of the prostate, urethra and the muscles at the base of the penis, which (in the adult) typically forces stored semen to be expelled through the penis' urethral opening, in a process known as peristalsis. This is referred to as ejaculation. The process usually takes from 3 to 10 seconds. The process is usually, but not always, extremely pleasurable. Orgasm is generally induced by direct stimulation of the penis. Some men experience heightened orgasm by direct stimulation of the prostate through the perineum.\n\nAs a man ages, it is normal for the amount of ejaculate to diminish, and hence, the length of time the man sustains orgasm also diminishes somewhat. This does not affect the pleasurable feeling of orgasm at all, it merely shortens the duration of it.\n\nFollowing ejaculation, a refractory period usually occurs during which a man cannot have another orgasm. This period can be anywhere from less than a minute to over half a day, depending on age and other individual factors. A few cases have been reported of men who appear to have no refractory period at all. Scientists theorize that a pituitary gland difference may cause this unique ability.\n\nMale prostate orgasm\nSome men are able to achieve ejaculation or orgasm through intra-anal stimulation of the prostate gland. Men reporting the sensation of prostate stimulation often give descriptions similar to women's accounts of g-spot stimulation. Other men report finding anal stimulation or penetration of any kind to be painful, or simply that they find no profound pleasure from it. With sufficient stimulation, the prostate can also be "milked". Providing that there is no simultaneous stimulation of the penis, prostate milking can cause ejaculation without orgasm. When combined with penile stimulation, some men report that prostate stimulation increases the volume of their ejaculation, and provides an enhanced and more pleasurable version of the standard male orgasm.\n\n\nMale multiple orgasms\nIt is possible to have an orgasm without ejaculation (dry orgasm) or to ejaculate without reaching orgasm. Some men report that the ability to consciously separate orgasm and ejaculation has allowed them to achieve multiple orgasms. Men who have practiced this technique extensively report that they can sometimes experience a continuous "wave" of orgasm. This can last, in theory, indefinitely, but in practice is limited by the man's

the body releases certain chemical which take your body onto a different level... many call this trance... it might last from a fraction of a second to several seconds depending... \n\nalso, there is huge energy release with the ejaculation.. and all of a sudden you get relief feeling !! \n\nstudies have shown that brain is the most active non-sexual organ in this process (of course your things are too )... and the response to it is given by the nerves on the sex organs... thats why you feel exhaust after orgasm...!
