When you have an orgasm, what biologically happens in your body to make you feel like you do?

Answer 1

Orgasm----climactic physiological state of heightened sexual excitement and gratification that is followed by relaxation of sexual tensions and the body's muscles.

Orgasm is marked by a feeling of sudden and intense pleasure, an abrupt increase in pulse rate and blood pressure, and spasms of the pelvic muscles that cause contractions of the lower vagina in the female and contractions of the urethra and ejaculation by the male. Males and females are physiologically capable of experiencing orgasm from infancy, and children who engage in masturbation or sex play may achieve this sensation. Orgasm can occur while a person is asleep and dreaming, as well as from sexual intercourse or masturbation.

Generally, the differences between the human male and female orgasms are that the climax in the female can be physiologically interrupted more easily than can the male response, and the male's orgasm is usually accompanied by ejaculation of semen; both male and female experience momentary muscular contractions during the orgasm, but the female's effects are usually longer in duration. Since the male responses are usually more rapidly induced, the male probably achieves orgasms more consistently during intercourse than does the female. Once the female attains an orgasm, however, she remains sexually excited longer and may experience several successive orgasms, whereas the male is ordinarily unable to experience a second orgasm except after a waiting period.

Sexual response follows a pattern of sequential stages or phases when sexual activity is continued. First, there is the excitement phase marked by increase in pulse and blood pressure, an increase in blood supply to the surface of the body resulting in increased skin temperature, flushing, and swelling of all distensible body parts (particularly noticeable in the penis and female breasts), more rapid breathing, the secretion of genital fluids, vaginal expansion, and a general increase in muscle tension. These symptoms of arousal eventually increase to a near maximal physiological level, the plateau phase, which is generally of brief duration. If stimulation is continued, orgasm usually occurs. Orgasm is marked by a feeling of sudden intense pleasure, an abrupt increase in pulse rate and blood pressure, and spasms of the pelvic muscles causing vaginal contractions in the female and ejaculation by the male. Involuntary vocalization may also occur. Orgasm lasts for a few seconds (normally not over ten), after which the individual enters the resolution phase, the return to a normal or subnormal physiological state. Up to the resolution phase, males and females are the same in their response sequence, but, whereas males return to normal even if stimluation continues, continued stimulation can produce additional orgasms in females. In brief, after one orgasm a male becomes unresponsive to sexual stimulation and cannot begin to build up another excitement phase until some period of time has elapsed, but females are physically capable of repeated orgasms without the intervening “rest period” required by males.

The answer to your question (why?) is a simple matter of biology. Male biology is designed in such a way that having an orgasm is incredibly simple (insert, thrust, repeat!). The male orgasm causes a guy to ejaculate sperm so human reproduction depends on the male having an orgasm fast and easily. For women the orgasm is more secondary. It's a nice add on, but not really necessary (biologically speaking) and as such the female physiology is designed so that achiving an orgasm is a bit more complicated and requires more effort than is does for male. For starters, males have penis and women have a clitoris. They are basically the same thing (anatomically speaking) with the exeption of size. Stimulation of both of those organs is what triggers the orgasm. While some girls can get orgasms without clitoral stimulation (such as vaginal penetration) that is relatively rare and more difficult. The problem with having a clitoris is that for a lot of girls, it's very small, hard to find and they (and their male partners) are unsure how to properly stimulate it to orgasm. With a penis, you really can't go wrong because it's, well it's there! The second thing that hinders a lot of girls from achiving orgasm is mental. For most women, sex is much more of an emotional thing thing than for most men. Men usually don't have to invest any such emotions (ie: love) into having an orgasm, but a lot of women do. For that reason, it could be much more difficult for you to have an orgasm (alone or with a partner). Obviously, the downside to all of this for women is that it's harder for them to have orgasms! But the plus side is, once they figure out how to do it, they have the ability to have multiple orgasms! Since only one orgasm is necessary for reproduction, them male is only designed to have one and usually must "recharge" before he can have another one. Women are not limited in this way so in the long run may end up with the upper hand. What you need to do is to buy a vibrator and practice masturbation. You have to learn about your own body first and figure out what makes you have an orgasm! But when you are doing it, you shouldn't be thinking about having an orgasm (because that adds to much expectations and pressure on yourself). Just enjoy the sensation and let it happen! It might take many times before you figure it out, but once you do, you can then pass the knowledge along to your partner and you should live happily ever after. Good luck!

Blood actually rushes to the area of your body that is having an orgasm. Technically, you can have an orgasm anywhere in your body, and the ear is a common location.

Answer 4

Your pleasure happens in your brain.

When I see a nice image I get excited. If I stop seeing it but if I still imagine it the excitement continues. Our boby only reacts to emotions.

This of a porno and either you get excited or repulsed, depends on how you were brought up and how you are ready to face the images.

So, orgasm are electrochemical information that your brain send to your body, or parts of it, in response to a stimuli that is on the outside world, either image, sound, smell, etc.

Answer 5

ever been on a giant wheel...??? remember the sensation when u are coming down..??? orgasm is a more accentuated form of that.....so my guess will be that biologically there is a lot of muscular contraction happening with a sudden gush of blood going somewhere....along with a few feel good hormones being released...:D

Answer 6

Your brain, the big thing on your neck, is a big ol' cluster-f**k of nerves relaying impulses back and forth between one another. In order to create the impulse, there has to be a neuro-transmitter, or in other words, a messenger, between the separate nerve endings. There are four neuro-transmitters, Seratonin and Dopamine are the two most commonly referred to as the pleasure makers. These messengers transmit the corresponding impulses to the rest of your brain and as a result give you that mellow, euphoric feeling after orgasm.

Answer 8

This is the definitive answer: Before the orgasm, your sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is working. Your blood pressure increases, and you're excited. At the point of orgasm, your SNS turns off and your Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS) turns on. The PNS is responsible for slowing down your breathing, and heart rate and other things. The orgasm is the switch between your SNS and PNS.

Answer 10

Good question! "Cumming" or "coming" is often used as a slang term for having an orgasm, which is the release of built-up muscle tension resulting from sexual activity. "Cumming" or "coming" can also refer to ejaculation. In men, orgasm is usually accompanied by ejaculation. Ejaculation can also occur in women, but it's much less common — about 10 percent of women report ejaculating during orgasm. Ejaculation in both women and men involves the release of fluid from the urethra — the tube that carries urine out of the body — during intense sexual arousal. In men, it contains sperm. The fluid that is ejaculated in women and men does not contain urine.
