Hi everyone. I've never had an orgasm so I was curious what it actually feels like and how you know when you are having one? Thanks!

You can't miss it.

It's one of those things that is very hard to explain. But when it does happen, just like other post said, you can't miss it. You'll know you had one, trust me.

No one can tell you what an orgasm feels like since they are different for each person.

Interesting thing about orgasms...I took a human sexuality course in college and at the beginning of each class the professor would ask a question and everyone would write their answers on index cards, then the cards were handed in and redistributed to be read aloud (so you wouldn't be reading your own answer, it remained anaymous). One class the question was "describe what an orgasm feels like." As we read the answers, the professor also asked the class to vote on whether they thought the answer was from a male or female. Surprisingly enough, it was near impossible to tell!

I thought that was kinda interesting that, when you had to put it into words, both men and women describe orgasms the same.

I have to agree with the others that you'll definitely know when you've had one LOL. I dunno...I wanna say it's like a tickling sensation?? You just get a really gooood sensation down there. There's usually a buildup, then a climax, and then kind of a peaceful, relaxed feeling for me. My boyfriend says the reason people feel sleepy after orgasm is because your body releases chemicals to make you rest in order to be able to start another round of attempting to procreate. lol. But sometimes it just puts me in a good mood and makes me wanna hop outta bed and get on with the day!
