What is an orgasm?

From the point of view of biology, orgasm is a state of the highest ecstasy lasting from several to several dozen seconds, accompanied by a number of physiological reactions - some of them are common to men and women, others look different in both sexes.

During orgasm, breathing stops, the heart breaks out of the chest, we stop seeing, hearing, and reacting to smells for a moment. Before a huge wave of heat flows from the body, we lose touch with reality for a moment.

The symptoms of orgasm in men and women are:

  • increase in blood pressure,
  • rapid breathing,
  • flushing of the body,
  • involuntary muscle contractions (e.g. vaginal)
  • making ecstatic sighs or shouts (not everyone).

The sensations associated with experiencing an orgasm are a side effect of stimulating nerve receptors located in the most erogenous areas of the body: especially around the genitals and breasts. However, there are cases where direct stimulation is not necessary to achieve orgasm - it can trigger orgasmalso erotic dreams and fantasies, although this happens rather rarely.

After orgasm, both men and women feel blissfully calm, relaxed, and sometimes drowsy. This reaction is related to the release of hormones during climax: oxytocin, prolactin, as well as endorphins, the effect of which on the body resembles the action of morphine (hence their colloquial name: "endogenous morphines").

Types of orgasm

Female orgasm is a slightly more complex phenomenon than male orgasm. Hence, there are at least a dozen types of climax in women. Among them, the most important are: vaginal orgasm and clitoral orgasm.

Clitoral orgasm

It is treated as "worse" and less mature than a vaginal orgasm - wrongly, of course. This is because it is easier for a woman to achieve this, and a vaginal orgasm requires a better understanding of her body.

This type of orgasm is achieved by stimulating the clitoris: it can be rubbing, massaging, making circles, rhythmically pressing. The range of techniques is very rich and every woman likes caresses at a different pace and with a different level of intensity.

It is important, however, not to caress the clitoris too much, because it is a very innervated organ and too strong stimuli, instead of causing pleasure, can cause pain.

Vaginal orgasm

It can be achieved by stimulating the vagina. It is easier for women who know how to work with the muscles of the pelvic floor (also known as Kegel) - by their rhythmic tightening while penetrating the vaginal wall, they are strongerirritated and you can come to orgasm faster.

Finding the G-spot, which is particularly sensitive to the caresses of the vaginal section, may also be helpful in inducing this type of orgasm.

Caresses more important than orgasm ?!

Among the nations culturally close to us, orgasm is in itself the goal of every rapprochement. However, the peoples of the East believe that climaxing is only one element of the excitement. The act of love is to focus on experiencing the pleasure resulting from excitement as long as possible. It should build up gradually, taking control of subsequent parts of the body and soul.

The longer the caresses last, the greater the joy of being close. That is why it is important to get to know each other's erogenous spheres in each other's. Discovering touch-sensitive areas is important because stimulating them properly leads to sexual arousal, which for many people is more important than intercourse or even orgasm. Anyway, this one can be experienced deeply, limited to caresses.

Reasons for non-orgasm

Men rarely complain of a lack of orgasm. If such a problem occurs, it is usually the result of a serious systemic disease or a defect in the structure of the genitals.

For women, the list of reasons for not achieving orgasm is long. On some days of the cycle, women may not be interested in sex at all, hence the problems with satisfaction. A similar lack of interest in sex may be shown by women in the menopausal period, when the levels of female hormones, i.e. estrogens and progestins, decrease.

The reason for the lack of orgasm is also hormonal deficiencies caused by diseases, such as overactive or underactive thyroid gland. Another reason is the pain experienced during intercourse caused by vaginal dryness, structural defects, and previous operations. Then help should be sought from a gynecologist.
