What is an Orgasm in Females and Why All The Mystery?
June 26th, 2008
What is an orgasm? An orgasm is an emotional & 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 nipples become erect, the lips of the mouth darken, becomes hard and exposed, the clitoris swells. With increased excitement, the skin becomes flushed and it begins to sweat.
In woman, the clitoris, labia, 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.
Orgasm 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 & uterus (some women do experience orgasms without contractions).
