Thread: Are these orgasms or am I mistaken?

Now you are even making me question my "orgasms" lol. Well, if it feels like you've climaxed, I guess it must be an orgasm then. I get that too, that when I have an orgasm, it hurts to try and continue. But I guess orgasms are different each time depending on the intensity.

I asked my boyfriend once what his orgasms feel like, and he said, "You know how it feels when you really have to pee, and then you finally get to? It's like that x5". Except there really isn't pleasure involved when girls pee... so I couldn't really relate, lol.
I thought it was an interesting description, though.

Orgasms for me usually involve what you call shocks, but usually I feel my whole body spasm repeatedly, I squirm all over the place, moan, and see stars. Muscle spasms are usually a good indicator that you have reached orgasm.

But really, if it feels fantastic, what's there to complain about? Even on those rare occasions where I do not climax during sex, I am still a very, very happy camper.

I can somehow relate to his discription, the relief you get when you finally do it, after holding in peeing for a long time kind of describes some of my orgasms too, lol. I don't get the melty feeling that you are talking about however... Maybe I do, don't know. But I do get tired and really sleepy after an orgasm sometimes.

I don't think we can really define an orgasm, I'm not sure if define is the right word, but I mean, we can't really describe what an orgasm feels or "should" like, except for that it's intense, but then again, the intensity level varies, and saying it feels good... isn't really very specific either lol. I don't suppose there is a guide book discribing how an orgasm should feel... And if there is, what about someone who doesn't get the feeling described in that "guide" but who does climax... They'd forever be thinking they still haven't achieved an orgasm because it wasn't how it was described in the book.

We can't really just put one discription of what an orgasm feels like out there, because it's different for everybody, and it's different each time. So I don't think there is a special way it's "supposed" to feel like, well I guess everyone who's ever had an orgasm knows what it's supposed to feel like, it's supposed to feel "good". But like I already said... That isn't every discriptive lol.
