What do your orgasms feel like?

[SparklingStars10]

I’m a female poster, so this post is aimed at female posters. I know for many women, orgasms can be quite different for many of us. I just wanted to know how it feels for other women, purely out of curiosity!
So, myn are mostly leg trembles, leg flexes and a flustered feeling.
What do yours feel like, similar or different?

I'd suggest going super slowly with it. And a very good position is you on your back, hips up, knees bent, and him kneeling in between, and actually him being the one stimulating your clitoris.

Yes he'll have to go slow and maybe grit his teeth (!) but none of us can reach orgasm if we feel under pressure to do so .... so it needs to be agreed with him that there is zero pressure, and you'll just see if this feels good.

I think that's a pretty fail safe position to try. ... report back!

Increasingly intense tingling in clitoris, vagina and surrounding area, I get that euphoric feeling and my heart races, when it feels as though it couldn’t feel any better intense throbbing, muscle spasms, normally about 7 or more, and then my whole body just feels so relaxed and I need to sleep. I love it.

Digressing slighly, it seems quite a few of us have our legs turn to jelly immediately post orgasm. I’ve never thought about it before, but l wonder if this is where the expression “makes me go weak at the knees” comes from.

Yes just at the thought of him. Tingly and weak legged. ...

You have worded it much better than I could.

Possibly. Good point.

Mine have changed over the years. Much more intense now I am older (and interestingly having a prolapse has helped, as it’s changed the position of different internal parts, so they are closer to opening and easier to access!).
If I have adequate foreplay (or am by myself), the feelings will become really intense and pleasurable, in waves that build up, where I become ‘noisy’ because I just have to express the intensity (a bit like bellowing when giving birth, that primal, ‘in touch with yourself’ feeling).
Then it subsides into beautiful loving calm and sort of sparkly fizziness. If I orgasm intensely, it affects my hearing and it’s like champagne fizzing in my ears which subsides after 20/30mins.
My O’s build up and can release many times, (20/30 times, it’s ridiculous!), over 2 or 3 sessions, can be some in first session, then continue in another session an hour or so later, or many hours or a day later.
If I don’t get to release properly (I mean squirt/flood - clitoral/cervix?) then the O is less intense and actually a bit frustrating.
Also used to get overstimulated clit really easily, which would then have immediate switch off, so then .I couldn’t do anything at all until it reset itself. (Very frustrating).
So I wonder if some people that aren’t feeling much are just not getting all the way ‘there’ yet to be able to release all those intense feelings? Sorry if I haven’t explained myself well, as it’s really hard to describe actually.

@Vegiepatch - I think you’re right in that I don’t fully reach that peak, although I wonder if orgasms vary in how each women’s body responds to pleasure.

Yes I think O’s definitely vary depending on how your body and mind responds to pleasure, also time of day, how relaxed you are, many factors. I know that I’m able to be fully present now, (had cancer a few years ago so that helped me learn how to be present in the moment and learnt to let go more). Can also depend on partner. My current partner is super considerate (spends long time on foreplay) but also our sexual and emotional connection is really strong. I’ve had other partners that I had great compatibility with in other areas but not as much sexual physical connection.
Also depends on your libido.
I think if u can spend time experimenting by yourself that can also take u to new levels.

Also try stopping and starting. This really helps me build to heightened levels. It’s like my brain needs time to catch up to my body, or vice versa

I’m wondering, if you know your own body well, orgasms etc, you are less likely to be with just anyone....more choosy re partners etc?

@Ceriane - I think not knowing my own body well was one of the reasons I didn’t orgasm until I was older and also why I struggle at times to orgasm. I don’t remember a time when I masturbated as a young teen, I don’t even know why I didn’t.
I also think as @Vegiepatch stated, emotional and sexual chemistry play a role in orgasms.

I was choosy and wanted to be satisfied. DH ticked all the boxes so I knew it was a good start for things to come (sorry).
