What is an orgasm?

What happens during an orgasm?
Certain things tend to occur throughout your body at the time of orgasm:
- The body releases sexual tension suddenly that built up during the initial two phases of the sexual response cycle.

- Muscles in your genitals & also the anus contract repeatedly rhythmically (about once per second for many seconds).
- Contractions of muscle play a vital role in orgasm. For eg, the muscles of the vagina and uterus contract quite often. This may cause some amount of fluid to release from your genitals. Likewise, the muscles at the base of your penile contract, and this usually leads to ejaculation (when the body releases semen).
