"My head was spinning, my body was shaking uncontrollably. It was like a volcanic eruption."
Here, 15 real women describe the moment when they're 100 percent sure they're climaxing and how they know it's the real deal.
"I can tell I'm having an orgasm when I feel like my body is, like,
approaching a cliff. It's easy to get 'stuck' there on the cliff without
going over, but when you do, it's just a giant flood of sensation. This
is maybe TMI but I can also sort of feel my vagina pulsing afterward." —Anna
"I have so much pleasure going on inside of me, the only thing I can do
is feel my body react, whether I start shaking, or feel a wave of hot
and then calm wash over me. It's almost confusing — something feels so
good it almost hurts, so you want more and you want it to stop at the
same time, and then you cross a line into an orgasm, and then when it's a
big one, it just totally consumes you." —Alexandra
"I experienced one orgasm that almost made me feel like I blacked out.
It started with that pulsating feeling, then my head was spinning, my
body shaking uncontrollably. It was like a volcanic eruption ... but
down there. Then I collapsed beside him, unable to move, think, or
speak." —Haley
"It feels like a relase and is really great for the split second before
it happens. And then it's over way too soon and I want more. But
sometimes, you can get lucky and feel these aftershocks if you position
yourself right." — Lexa
"I know when it starts because every muscle begins to tighten and my
upper thighs begin to quiver. I break out in a light sweat and it feels
as if a faucet is being turned on inside me. I know the big O is
complete when I feel like I need a snack and a nap." —Nina
"I would describe it as every ounce of sexual energy being sucked from
my body, starting at my toes and fingertips, and working its way in
until it pulses from my vagina. Then once it's over, I'm a noodle." —Jaclyn
"It's a total-body experience where everything disappears except for the
hot, tingly sensation that makes you feel like you're being pulled from
all sides." —Lexi
"My breathing gets irregular, I can't focus on anything, and I lose
myself. My whole body stops moving, and I just want to clench up and
enjoy the explosion that's erupting throughout my entire body. It feels
overwhelming but so awesome at the same time. I end up falling on top of
my husband, telling him to stop moving." —Heather
"The best explanation I can think of is the feeling of pleasure builds up like filling a glass of water until it overflows." —Molly
"Everything starts to tighten, and my breathing gets faster and more
difficult. Then all of a sudden, there are waves of pleasure going
through my whole body. It's so intense that sometimes all my muscles
just kinda want to stop working." —Rebecca
"It's like melting and exploding at the same time. You don't have any
control, and it's maybe the only time in your life when you're not
worried about anything but that very moment." —Jaimesa
"An orgasm is like a blend of dancing and riding the craziest roller coaster ever. Hot, sexy, screaming, heart-pumping fun." —Codi
"When I orgasm, I shake so bad I have to grab my partner's hand and
squeeze it until I am done. I get so hot and my body spasms. Sometimes
my legs even lock up." —Vanessa
"It's like an overwhelming feeling of tingles throughout your body.
You're light-headed, your vision goes blurry, and all you can feel is an
instant lightness of your body and amazing sensation in your clitoris."
—Chelsea
"The few seconds before an orgasm feel so primal — you’re not focused
on anything else except this rising, inexplicable wave coursing through
your body. It’s a complete release, and the more intense it is, the
more you feel like you just exorcised every ounce of stress out of you."
—Julia
