An orgasm is a pleasurable release of sexual tension often accompanied by physical and emotional sensations. Some people describe the physical sensations of orgasm as a powerful wave of pleasure that starts in the genitals and spreads throughout the body. This may include a feeling of intense warmth, muscle contractions, and a release of tension. Emotionally, some people describe the feeling of orgasm as a sense of euphoria, relaxation, or connection with their partner. Others may experience a burst of energy or a feeling of release. It's worth noting that not everyone experiences orgasm in the same way.
