What Does A Female Orgasm Feel Like
Describing the experience of having an orgasm is a little bit like describing the taste of salt to someone who has never experienced the taste of salt-only harder. Especially when describing a woman’s experience of an orgasm.
Many factors come into play (no pun intended) during the experience of a woman’s sexual climax. Some of these factors include the level of her physical arousability, the level of her mental/emotional and physical excitement, the amount and quality of mental/emotional and physical stimulation she receives, and her level of confidence/comfort with emotional/physical surrender during the sexual encounter.
Here is an interesting observation learned from women who regularly achieve orgasm: in women who are sexually aroused (meaning they have the physical and mental urgency to be sexually stimulated) orgasm is achieved in 3 to 5 minutes when a woman uses self stimulation in private. Orgasm takes on average 21 minutes when she is stimulated in the presence of a partner. The method of stimulation used varies but in nearly all cases is applied to the clitoris by the woman, by her partner or a combination of both. This includes the use of fingers, tongue and toys (vibrator).
The actual experience of a woman’s orgasm can not be adequately described in just physical terms of release of muscle tension, muscle spasms in the genital and anal regions, increased heart and breathing rate, and in some cases ejaculation. The intense feelings of pleasure and emotion are key components of the orgasmic experience-if not the defining element of a sexual climax.
Here are some women’s descriptions of their experience of orgasm:
“it feels like I am falling”,
“it is like that feeling when you ride a roller coaster all the way to the top and when you go over the top, that intense feeling you get in your stomach is what you feel, only it starts in your vagina and goes all the way down to your toes and back up to your head”,
“bursting open with pleasure”,
“Warm waves of energy”,
“It feels like a combination of having to pee followed by an intense need to scream out loud because of the pleasure and then a lot of little explosions”,
“Orgasm is like someone is tickling me lightly with a feather… Softly and slowly at first… then going faster and faster…until its just right… then my whole body is tingling…then its like something just pops…like a warm water balloon bursts inside me and its all warm inside and I feel the warmth running down in trickles…like a small warm waterfall…and I feel like I just climbed up that warm waterfall…and I’m left breathless…tingly and warm…like I just got out of a hot sauna…. hot… sticky, wet and breathless.”,
“For me, it feels like I’m being tickled around my waist and inner thighs, all over that area, then it builds up and I can feel it, it’s like everything rushes to that area, then explodes, sending feel good sensations down my legs to my toes, up my stomach and breasts, through my arms. It even feels good when it’s over…because I feel like I just finished a workout but want more, so much more, and it’s like I can feel those sensations fade which is amazing.”,
“It depends on the orgasm of course, sometimes I have the itty bitty little one that feels all right. Then I have the ones where my insides are on fire and it starts up my legs then goes into my groin, then it’s all just a big explosion of holy **** and I close my eyes tight and see many colors and then I start tingling behind my knees and twitching. Then I remember to breathe and open my eyes. I loo into my partner’s eyes and say “wow”.
As these shared experiences demonstrate, each orgasm is different. Some may come as small of ripples pleasure while others can come as a massive wave of overwhelming pleasure. There is no such thing as a normal orgasm as each orgasmic experience is unique.
So what does an orgasm feel like? It’s varies, no two are alike. Some will go deep into your soul filling you with pleasure and bonding emotions with the one you love. While others will just be a pleasurable release of sexual tension. But each is yours to enjoy; alone or with someone you love.
