An orgasm happens at the height of sexual stimulation and pleasure. Both men and women have orgasms--usually through masturbation or sexual activity with someone else.

When you have an orgasm, your genital muscles tense up until there is a sense of fullness in your pelvis. The release that follows is the orgasm: basically a series of involuntary contractions radiating out from the genitals, uterus and anus.

No two people have orgasms that are just the same. Some describe orgasms as a great buildup of tightness followed by an explosion. Others say they are like a sigh of relief. Orgasms can be noisy, sometimes even involving screaming, or they can be silent. Some women are able to have multiple orgasms, and some don't have orgasms at all. Too many orgasms is not really a problem.

For women, the primary pleasure center is the clitoris. But some may also experience orgasms when areas of the vagina are stimulated.

You may hear a lot in the media about women faking orgasms. This probably isn't that uncommon, as only a small number of women are able to have an orgasm from intercourse alone.
