Orgasm

Orgasm refers to the climax of sexual pleasure with the subsequent feeling of a certain pleasant relaxation (satisfaction). For people with a penis, orgasm is usually accompanied by ejaculation. People with a vulva can also experience ejaculation (see squirting). Since an orgasm is experienced differently by each person, the feeling is difficult to describe. For many, orgasm is part of sexuality. However, it is important to understand that sex should not be equated with an orgasm and that it can be enjoyable to have sex together (or alone) even without an orgasm.
