Orgasm
Updated:An orgasm is the intense, pleasurable release of accumulated sexual tension at the peak of sexual arousal, characterized by involuntary muscle contractions in the genitals and other parts of the body. It is the climax of the sexual response cycle. Orgasms are often accompanied by feelings of euphoria, altered states of consciousness, and a release of endorphins.
Additional Information
Orgasms can be achieved through various types of sexual stimulation, including intercourse, oral sex, masturbation, and other forms of sexual activity. The specific physical and psychological experiences of orgasm can vary between individuals and across different sexual encounters. Most people with a clitoris or a penis are capable of achieving orgasm, although the ease and frequency may differ.
