What does an orgasm feel like? Have you ever experienced it?
In the field of sexual health, there has long been a claim that "it is said that less than 30% of women have experienced a real orgasm," which shrouds the female orgasm in a veil of mystery. So, what is a real orgasm actually like? Let's set aside stereotypes and gain an in-depth understanding of this unique physical and psychological sensation from the perspectives of science and real experiences.
Physical Reactions: The "Pleasure Symphony" Played by the Body
From a physical perspective, when a woman has an orgasm, her body undergoes a series of complex and wonderful reactions. There will be involuntary muscle contractions, especially of the pelvic floor muscles. These contractions may occur 3 to 15 times, with an interval of approximately 0.8 seconds, bringing a strong alternating feeling of muscle tension and release. At the same time, the heart rate will increase significantly, soaring from the normal 60-100 beats per minute to 110-180 beats per minute. Breathing will also become rapid, and there may even be short periods of breath-holding.
During the process of sexual arousal and orgasm, the body also secretes a variety of hormones. Dopamine brings a sense of excitement and pleasure, allowing the brain to immerse itself in satisfaction; oxytocin, known as the "love hormone," is secreted in large quantities during orgasm, enhancing the sense of intimacy and attachment with one's partner. In addition, during orgasm, sexual flush may appear on parts of the body such as the face and chest, making the skin slightly red. This is the result of accelerated blood flow and vasodilation, just like the body being coated with a layer of "romantic color" for pleasure.
