Orgasm


Orgasm is the conclusion of the plateau phase of the sexual response cycle, and is experienced by both males and females. Orgasm is controlled by our involuntary, or autonomic, nervous system [1]. It is accompanied by quick cycles of muscle contraction in the lower pelvic muscles, which surround the primary sexual organs and the anus. Orgasms are often associated with other involuntary actions, including vocalizations and muscular spasms in other areas of the body, and a generally euphoric sensation.
