The Orgasm - Differences between men's & women's orgasms

When you have an orgasm, you experience muscle contractions of the lower pelvic muscles in cycles. These pleasurable peaks bring on delightful feelings and involuntary spasms. The brain is also affected by this climax. When you cum, your brain actually blocks off the areas of the brain that are responsible for fear and anxiety.

But not all climaxes are the same. Some people experience them as small waves of pleasure, others as fireworks shooting through their body. Some will have just one per sexual encounter, others have multiple ongoing orgasms that require no refractory period in-between them.

You can reach sexual culmination in many different ways. It's possible to cum through clitoral stimulation, g-spot stimulation, prostate stimulation, nipple stimulation, and even just certain thoughts! There are numerous ways to stimulate a person and many of them will cause so much pleasure that it's possible (although rare in some cases) to reach climax with that method.

This sexual highlight has a slightly different effect on men and women. Both genders have many of the same responses such as: vocal expressions, contractions of the genitals and anus, and a period of tiredness after the event. However, there are some key differences.

The first difference is that a man's orgasm is usually accompanied by the release of semen. When a man releases his semen at that special moment, it's called ejaculation. The exception to this is when the man learns to separate their orgasm and ejaculation, which we'll talk more about in another article. Ejaculation along with orgasms is an extremely satisfying feeling.

Women do have the ability to "ejaculate" but it's pretty uncommon. Men will ejaculate with any climax, but a woman can only ejaculate when she has a g-spot orgasm. Clear fluid comes out of her urethra so some women fear that it might be urine, but it's not. Only 10% of women have been reported to have experience female ejaculation.

Most men require a refractory period after sex. This is the period after climax where a man cannot have another orgasm. Some men have longer refractory periods than others. A few lucky men have no refractory period, but this is not common.

Women on the other hand, have no refractory period at all. They can go on and on having multiple ongoing waves of pleasure without needing to take a break in between. Sometimes though, a woman will feel hypersensitive to touch and want to stop all stimulation after the big pay-off.

Another big difference between a man's and a woman's climax, is that nearly every single man can have one if he wants to. Women however, are not that lucky! Some have never experienced one, and never will. The reason for this could be psychological or physical. Its common knowledge that (in general) men will climax every time they have sex but only 10% of women can do this.

These are just some of the major differences between men's and women's greatest height of sexual pleasure. There are more but we won't go into too much detail here.

The human climax is interesting and complex in nature. Why do we have even them? Obviously males have them for reproduction purposes. Some researchers think that when a woman hits the big O, it increases her chances of conception (although this is not proven) and other researchers think it's pretty much useless and unnecessary.

We here at Good-Sex-Positions.com completely disagree with the idea that a female's climax is useless. They are a wonderful part of sex and should never be thought of as unnecessary.
