Excitement in Orgasms part 1 of 3
This is a guest blog submission by Climax Connection member, eric60red.
Make Me Cum – I think that we all agree that an orgasm is one of the most pleasurable sensations known to humans. For many individuals the ultimate goal of a sexual experience, whether it is alone or with a partner, is to have an orgasm. Although orgasms are the main part of many sexual experiences, what are the mechanisms that control orgasmic responses? My curiosity has led to me to try and find some answer. Like an orgasm the subject is very intense, I hope you find the results interesting.
The Big “O” – The word “orgasm” came from the Greek word orgasmos, which means “to swell” or “to be lustful.” There is no one universally accepted definition for orgasm, and we don’t know why humans evolved the capability to have orgasms. All the animal world have a built in desire to reproduce, which results in their seed being planted, we know that female dogs and cats have a period when they “come on heat,” It’s their reproduction cycle,
Bird Do It Bees Do It – This also applies to the bigger cats, etc, and even elephants and whales. In human males and females, an orgasm brings about numerous physiological and neurochemical changes in the body. The intense feelings of pleasure associated with orgasm are the result of the release of built-up neuromuscular tension known as myotonia, where as in an animal it is a means to an end. In humans it is an extreme sensation like no other that seems to make us want the experience over and over again, why? Is our built in desire to reproduce?
It’s All Very Natural – During orgasm the feelings experienced by both males and females are very similar. A few years ago, based on direct laboratory observation of more than 10,000 episodes of sexual activity in over 600 men and women, two sexuality-research pioneers, William Masters and Virginia Johnson, came to the conclusion that the human sexual response cycle consists of four distinct stages. These four stages are excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution.
Reaching Orgasm – The orgasmic stage is the shortest but most intense of the four. There are striking similarities in the physiological events that occur in both the male and female body during orgasm. Studies have also shown that during orgasm the feelings experienced by both males and females are very similar. One study showed that even “sex experts” could not even reliably distinguish between written accounts of male and female orgasms.
