Orgasm

Orgasm is a physiological phenomenon typically associated with sexual activity. It is characterized by intense physical pleasure, controlled by the autonomous nervous system, and is accompanied by quick cycles of muscle contraction in the lower pelvic muscles, which surround the primary sexual organs and the anus.

Orgasms are part of human sexual response cycle. They often occur as a result of continued sexual stimulation, and are commonly associated with other phases of the sexual response cycle, including arousal, plateau, and resolution.
