A favourite subject of sexologists, the female orgasm is a mystery. How can you tell the difference between simple sexual pleasure and true enjoyment? Here are a few signs that will help you to see things more clearly.

The vagina contracts

In women, orgasm is generally expressed by automatic and involuntary contractions of the vagina, the uterus and the surrounding muscles. The first contractions are often more intense and then tend to decrease in intensity. The average interval between two contractions may be 0.8 seconds. In total, the orgasm may last 3 to 12 seconds.

Muscles tense up

Especially in the case of clitoral orgasm, all the muscles in the woman's body tense up. Her breathing quickens and she may moan. At this point, the same sensitive area should continue to be stimulated and at the same rate, the clitoris will tend to swell a little and become more visible. The vagina secretes a lubricating liquid in varying quantities depending on the woman.

The genitals are hyper sensitive

When stimulation is prolonged, blood flows into the genitals and into certain parts of the body such as the breasts. These can increase by up to 20%. It is this blood flow that causes the clitoris to become erect, the labia to swell, the vagina to dilate and sometimes the nipples to harden. A mucous fluid is secreted at the time of orgasm by the glands at the entrance to the vagina.

You blush with adrenaline

At the moment of orgasm, the cheeks turn red. The genitals, including the clitoris and labia, also become redder, swollen by the influx of blood. Sometimes red patches on certain areas such as the chest and upper back may appear, but don't panic. This is the adrenaline that dilates the superficial vessels of the skin.

Some may go as far as female ejaculation, but this is rare. A clear, abundant liquid resembling sperm gushes out of the urethra, secreted by the glands located at the G-spot.

Then you get high

When it perceives orgasm or physical pleasure, the pituitary gland, that useful little brain gland, triggers the secretion of endomorphins. These are natural molecules similar to morphine that give a feeling of well-being and fullness.

A real orgasm is followed by a so-called recessive phase. The genitals return to their normal size and colour. The muscles relax, breathing and tension calm down.
