Scientists explain the secrets of female orgasm, such as 'What happens when a female reaches orgasm?'



' Orgasm ' is a state of sexual pleasure that is commonly described as 'climax' or 'iku'. Female orgasm is a hot topic for many scientists , with new theories about the role of female orgasm being proposed in 2019. Jane Chalmers, a neuroscientist at the University of South Australia, explained female orgasm in four themes in an easy-to-understand manner.

◆ 1: What happens when a woman reaches orgasm?
When a woman reaches orgasm, the pelvic floor muscles involuntarily contract rhythmically. According to Mr. Chalmers, this has the role of promoting blood flow from tissues such as the erect clitoris and the congested vulva and returning it to its normal state. Women who are feeling sexual arousal or orgasm also have increased heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure.



On the other hand, in the brain, the level of oxytocin called 'love hormone' rises and reaches its peak as soon as it reaches orgasm.

In addition, the brain region related to dopamine, which is considered to be a 'happiness hormone,' is activated in both women and men who are undergoing orgasm, but in the case of women, it is more responsible for emotions, sensory information, and higher thoughts. The area is also activated.

It is said that the intensity and frequency of female orgasm depends on complex psychological and social factors such as female sexual desire, self-esteem, openness of sexual communication with partners, and mental health. The relationship between the body and the brain over orgasm is a difficult problem for scientists to judge.

◆ 2: Is it a problem not to reach orgasm?
According to Chalmers, it's not a big deal, even if you don't experience orgasm, it's just normal. For example, a study published in 2019 found that as many as 21% of Australian women between the ages of 20 and 64 answered a survey that they couldn't feel orgasm.



Biologically, the symptoms that do not lead to orgasm are called 'anorgasmia'. It is said that women with anorgasmia often have shame, lack of self-confidence, anxiety, pain, and indifference regarding sex and orgasm. There is also a view that 'what has been positively perceived' is related.

For many women, orgasm leads to self-confidence, so women with anorgasmia tend to have the problem of 'Is there something wrong with me?' A study published in 2009 reported that 28% of men and 67% of women who had sexual intercourse had 'pretended to reach orgasm.'

According to another study , 80% of women do not reach orgasm with vaginal stimulation alone, Charmers said, 'If you are concerned about anorgasmia, stimulating the clitoris. You may want to try it. ' You also have the option of consulting a specialist or doctor if anorgasmia is causing problems such as interfering with a healthy sexual relationship.

◆ 3: Is it true that you can reach orgasm many times?
A survey of dating sites found that 77% of women experienced multiple orgasms, but an academic study published in 2020 found that women who felt multiple orgasms It is said that it is only around 14%.



Another study reports that 50% of women use vibrators for one or more orgasms. Some argue that the use of vibrators reduces sensitivity and makes it difficult to obtain orgasm with non-vibration stimuli, but many studies suggest that desensitization is mild and transient. I am.

◆ 4: What is female orgasm for?
Evolutionists' views on female orgasm can be broadly divided into three categories: 'to increase the success rate of breeding,' 'to strengthen the bond between females and partners,' and 'to have no particular purpose.'

'Just because female orgasm doesn't have an evolutionary role doesn't mean it's not important. Orgasm contributes to the healthy relationships and sexual well-being of many women,' said Charmers. In that sense, it's important. '

In addition, in the new theory about orgasm mentioned at the beginning, it was concluded that 'female orgasm has a role to prepare the reproductive organs for accepting sperm, make it easier for sperm to survive, and increase the possibility of successful reproduction'. It has been.

At the end, Mr. Charmers said, 'The true function of the clitoris has only recently been discovered, and the existence of G-spots is still under debate. Also, female sexuality and libido. Individual differences such as likes and dislikes are also incredibly diverse, so more research is needed to gain a deeper understanding of the complexity and diversity of orgasms. ' He said that there are many leftovers.
