What's a Female Orgasm

An orgasm, or climax, is the release of tension at the peak of sexual excitement.

During sex, muscles in the man's penis and the woman's genitals become stimulated and tense. When this tension is released at the peak of sexual excitement, men and women experience an intense, very pleasant and sometimes overwhelming physical and mental feeling - this is called an orgasm or climax.

Usually, the man ejaculates during (or at the end) of an orgasm. After puberty, boys and girls may experience orgasms during dreams while asleep. These are often called wet dreams. Later, most people explore their sexuality alone through masturbation and then sex and mutual masturbation with a partner, sometimes experiencing an orgasm.
