Informant_Girl answered Wednesday July 19 2006, 7:06 am: An orgasm is the pinnacle of sexual activity and is the ultimate release of tension accumulated during the sex act. If people are to be believed, you'll *know* when you're having one, it's a bit hard to mistake. Your body will feel a massive release. And as for if they're hard to get, it depends on if you're male or female. For men, it's relatively easy. For a woman, though, it's slightly harder and takes a bit more work and effort. Researchers have speculated that vaginal stimulation alone is insufficient for a female orgasm (although that's not true in all cases) and that stimulating the clitoris (a small bud-like organ analogous to the tip of the male organ) is needed for orgasm. Also, it has been found that people who masturbate more often orgasm more easily - a case of practice making perfect. [ Informant_Girl's advice column | Ask Informant_Girl A Question ]
Tay33 answered Sunday July 16 2006, 12:04 pm: An orgasm is the release of built-up muscle tension resulting from sexual activity. It produces rapid muscle contractions usually in the genital and anal area, but these contractions can also be throughout the body. Most people find these muscular contractions very pleasant. In both men and women, an orgasm is sometimes accompanied with the release of ejaculatory fluid. Ejaculation is much more usual in men than it is in women. Only about 10 percent of women report ejaculating during orgasm.
Orgasms can be reached through many different types of sexual activity, although women often tend to reach orgasm through clitoral, rather than vaginal, stimulation. Men tend to reach orgasm more quickly than women, just as men tend to become sexually aroused more quickly than women. On the other hand, women are more likely to have more than one or multiple orgasms during sexual activity than men are. [ Tay33's advice column | Ask Tay33 A Question ]
Teza answered Monday July 3 2006, 2:07 am: An orgasm is basicly a feeling of pleasure that feel good. For some people, they're harder to experience and for others they can get them quicker. You can get one from oral sex, masturbation or just sex. You will defenetly know when you get it though. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
jumadel answered Sunday July 2 2006, 9:46 pm: Hi, basically an orgasm is rubbing your penis until you get sexually excited and you might sometimes feel a warm really really good feeling and then cum or shall I say sperm leaks out of the top of the penis and then that is called ejaculation. When having sex, it can happen at any time. For some it takes about 20 minutes, for others maybe 10 minutes and for others maybe even less than 2 minutes. If you were having sex I would recommend that you:
a) Do it in a way you feel comfortable
b) When doing it maybe you could kiss her alot and perhaps stroke her hair and explore and have lots of enjoyment

Most people experience their first orgasm through masturbation and you definitely know when you're having one. Usually guys find it easy to orgasm during sex, but girls sometimes find it more difficult as most find it hard to orgasm without their clitoris being stimulated.
