An orgasm (from Greek: οργασμός orgasmós, from orgán - "to swell", "be lustful"), also known as a sexual climax, is the most pleasurable response (sexual function) to sexual stimulation. It can be physical, psychological, emotional, or a combination of these. It is often accompanied by a notable physiological reaction, such as ejaculation, blushing or spasm and may be followed by aftershocks.
Both males and females experience orgasms, but the exact response varies depending on sex. 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. Infants as young as five months are capable of experiencing orgasm, as documented in the research of Alfred Kinsey. [1]
Some dictionaries still give the subsidiary meaning, "a similar point of intensity of emotional excitement,"
