fast FACTS

one person asked me once what or how an orgasm really is. I really couldn't answer as I was not that sure myself. But I went to do some research and this is what an orgasm really is. Don't look at this as something gross and don't see me as someone pervertive who checks out stuff like these. Its a fact and I think there is nothing wrong about wanting to know.

An orgasm happens at the height of sexual stimulation and pleasure. Both men and women have orgasms--usually through masturbation or sexual activity with someone else.

When you have an orgasm, your genital muscles tense up until there is a sense of fullness in your pelvis. The release that follows is the orgasm: basically a series of involuntary contractions radiating out from the genitals, uterus and anus.

No two people have orgasms that are just the same. Some describe orgasms as a great buildup of tightness followed by an explosion. Others say they are like a sigh of relief. Orgasms can be noisy, sometimes even involving screaming, or they can be silent. Some women are able to have multiple orgasms, and some don't have orgasms at all. Too many orgasms is not really a problem.

For women, the primary pleasure center is the clitoris. But some may also experience orgasms when areas of the vagina are stimulated.

You may hear a lot in the media about women faking orgasms. This probably isn't that uncommon, as only a small number of women are able to have an orgasm from intercourse alone.
