Women who have never experienced orgasm, and women who are not sure if they have, often ask, "What does an orgasm feel like?" This is a hard, if not impossible, question to answer. Imagine trying to explain to someone what it feels like to sneeze or yawn. Not easy to do. How our senses and brain interpret physical stimuli is subjective, that is dependent solely on the individual's perceptions. Subjective reports frequently mention a sensation of tingling in the spine, brain, and genital areas. While some women relay an experience being on the verge of passing out, others report a level of enjoyment only somewhat less than that of "the earth moving". If a woman has experienced some form of nerve damage, she may not be able to tell if she has had an orgasm.

Sex actaully makes women feel sexier!

Sexual activity for men and women, straight or gay, raises testosterone levels, recent studies show.

This, at least in women, fuels the desire for intercourse, increases the likelihood of experiencing an orgasm and heightens the individual's belief in her own sexiness, the studies show.

The findings are among the first to suggest that men and women can alter their own hormone levels based on how often they cuddle or copulate, both of which can lead to testosterone rises.

The hormone testosterone is usually associated with developing and maintaining male sex characteristics, but women also possess this secreted compound.

Extremely high or low amounts can lead to health concerns, but the detected rises are within acceptable ranges.

"Our [first] paper does suggest that there might be sexual benefits to higher levels of testosterone," says lead author Sari van Anders.

Van Anders, a researcher in the Department of Psychology at Canada's Simon Fraser University, and her team conducted two separate studies.

Both have been accepted for publication in the journal Hormones and Behavior.

The first examined testosterone levels in 49 women before and after cuddling, intercourse and exercise.

'After' included directly following sex as well as the next morning, when the test subjects also answered a questionnaire that included questions about orgasms, levels of sexual desire and feelings of sexual attractiveness.

Exercise was included as a control in the study, since physical activity itself can alter a person's biochemistry.

Overall, the test subjects experienced higher levels of testosterone just before and after cuddling and intercourse, with the greatest rises being associated with copulation.

The higher the testosterone rise, the greater the likelihood was that the woman experienced an orgasm and felt more sexually attractive the next day.

"We don't know how testosterone increases after sex and close physical intimacy might benefit women, but some possibilities to examine in future studies include increased sexual desire, more positive moods, or more energy," says van Anders.
