Why when you orgasm it feels so good?

Yes, definitely the male orgasm feels so good and relaxing. The male orgasm unleashes a rush of drowsy hormones—norepinephrine, serotonin, oxytocin, vasopressin, nictric oxide and the hormone prolactin—that relaxes body, induces sound sleep and also helps to keep body healthy up to some extent.

An orgasm is all the things you feel and all the things that happen with your body at the peak of sexual arousal and pleasure. It's a reflex we're all born with (just like knee jerks and sneezes) that our bodies have in response to effective sexual stimulation. You will *definitely* know when you have one. There's nothing else anywhere in human experience that feels that way.

It can take a girl or woman anywhere from a few seconds to a couple of hours to reach orgasm. Both of these are pretty unusual but perfectly normal, and anything in between is just fine... and most can get there in much less than 10 minutes when they masturbate.

Just before orgasm, you might have a feeling a bit like you have to pee, but it's not quite the same, and when your orgasm first happens, there'll be a very strong (sometimes intense and *powerful*), warm and sometimes tingly feeling that spreads from your clitoris to your vagina and then through your whole lower body. Then very quickly your clitoris, your vagina, your crotch muscles and your butt-hole will squeeze and pulse a few times while that feeling spreads all over you.

During all this, your heart will beat *very* quickly, your toes will probably curl, you might feel like you need to hold your breath or like you have to breathe really fast, your body will want to tense up and might jerk or shake or shiver, and you might make some noises (grunts, gasps, groans or cries) that you can't really control. You might "squirt" or "ejaculate" a lot of fluid from your urethra (don't worry, it's not pee).

While all of this is going on, the physical and emotional pleasure that you'll feel everywhere at the same time is just about the best feeling a human body can possibly have. Your body is producing more of its "feel good" chemicals and hormones at this time than during any other natural experience, and your nervous system's pleasure centres are cranked up to their maximim.

(Everything you "might" feel or do above isn't always going to happen... some orgasms are much less overwhelming than just *very* pleasureable.)

As that feeling becomes more gentle and starts to go away (after maybe 5 to 20 seconds), your whole body will begin to relax, your skin will flush pinker (especially over your chest) and you might feel sort of like having a nap... or like just lying there and letting your mind drift... or even like doing it again (and again... etc) right away.

It's not often, but it *can* happen sometimes that there'll be no interruption at all between several orgasms in a row, and it can feel like one single orgasm... intense physical pleasure and whole-body tension and release that can last anywhere from 30 or 40 seconds to several minutes.

Having vaginal sex (intercourse or just "fingering") alone isn't a very effective way to have orgasms for most women, because the vagina isn't the place where women's most direct sexual pleasure comes from. The clitoris is.

It might interest you to know that by the age of 12, 1/3 of all girls have already been masturbating to orgasm at least occasionally for half their lives or more... that by age 15, it's 2/3 of them doing it *regularly* (many of them do it several times a day.... for years)... or that by the age of 20, more than 80% of women are doing the same - regardless of whether they've ever had intercourse.

... or that the very first thing sex therapists teach women who've never had an orgasm is how to masturbate - because that's the *only* sure fire way for a woman to learn how her body responds sexually and what will bring her to orgasm.

Masturbation is having sex with the only person you'll ever meet who knows *exactly* what you feel and what you like, even if that changes every second.

Because humans have evolved so that orgasm feels good. That's one reason the human species pursues sex, which is what propagates the species.
