The female orgasm is an incredible experience that can be reached through various means such as stimulation of the clitoris, vagina, nipples, G-spot, A-spot, U-spot, cervix, and even breasts. It may occur during masturbation, partnered sex, penetrative or non-penetrative activities, oral sex, foreplay, and so on. During an orgasm, there are numerous physical changes that take place within the body including increased heart rate, brain activity, respiration, blood flow, sweating, muscle contractions, and more. The uterus, pelvic muscles, and anal sphincter all play a role in these contractions and contribute to the overall sensations felt during orgasm. Let's explore what happens when each part contracts during this climactic moment.
What Happens in the Uterus?
During sexual arousal and orgasm, the uterus contracts in small rhythmic spasms which can feel like tightening or pulsing sensations. These contractions are involuntary and happen automatically without any conscious control. They can range from slight to strong depending on the intensity of the orgasm. Some women report feeling as if their insides are being sucked up into their body or pulled downward. This movement of the uterus creates friction against the walls of the vaginal canal, increasing pleasure and helping to build towards release. It also helps to push out secretions (such as lubricant) to facilitate easy entry for a penis or other object.
What Happens in the Pelvis?
The pelvic floor muscles are a group of muscles located deep inside the body that support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. When they contract during orgasm, it can cause intense feelings of pressure and fullness in the lower abdomen and pelvic area. This is often described as "the sensation of wanting to pee" but not actually needing to go. The strength and duration of these contractions vary between individuals but typically last around 5-10 seconds. Women who have stronger contractions may find themselves holding onto their partner for support or rocking back and forth with the movements. Some even report experiencing shaking or trembling due to the intensity of this contraction.
What Happens in the Anal Sphincter?
The anal sphincter is the ring of muscle at the opening of the anus that controls when we poop and fart. During sex, some women experience involuntary spasms in this area which can be pleasurable. These spasms are similar to those felt during kegels - tightening and relaxing repeatedly in rapid succession. They can add extra stimulation to the anal area, creating a tingly or pulsing feeling. Some women enjoy inserting objects into the rectum during orgasm to further intensify this effect. However, it's important to note that anal play should always be consensual and performed safely to avoid injury.
Overall, understanding how your body works and responds during sexual arousal and orgasm is key to maximizing pleasure. By being aware of what happens inside you physically, you can learn to better communicate your needs and desires with partners. So next time you reach climax, take a moment to notice all the different parts working together to create this amazing sensation!
