Thriveonline Sexuality on Oxygen. Orgasm is the point at which all the tension is suddenly released in a series of involuntary and pleasurable muscular contractions that expel blood from the pelvic tissues. We may feel contractions in the vagina, uterus and rectum.
Some women describe orgasms without contractions.
Orgasm may feel different with a finger, penis, dildo or vibrator in your vagina and different when you masturbate from when you make love with another person. It may feel totally different at different times even with the same person. Often we become aroused at times when we can't get additional stimulation and reach orgasm. Although sexual tension subsides eventually without orgasm, it takes longer. Quite a number of women have never had an orgasm.
