Orgasm is the conclusion of the plateau phase of the sexual response cycle, shared by both men and women. During orgasm, both men and women experience quick cycles of muscle contraction in the lower pelvic muscles, which surround both the anus and the primary sexual organs.
Afterwards, orgasm generally causes perceived tiredness, and both men and women often feel a need to rest.
A recent study at the University of Groningen has indicated significant differences in brain activity during the female and male orgasm.[3] 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.
