An orgasm is a physical and emotional response that occurs at the peak of sexual arousal. It is characterized by intense pleasure, muscle contractions, and a release of sexual tension. This experience can vary in intensity and duration among individuals and can occur during various sexual activities, including intercourse, masturbation, or oral sex. During an orgasm, the body releases hormones such as oxytocin and endorphins, which contribute to feelings of happiness and relaxation. The physiological changes include increased heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle tension, followed by a sense of calm and well-being as the body returns to its normal state.
