Why do your muscles contract and pulse during an orgasm (specifically women)?

1.29K viewsBiologyOther

During orgasm, the muscles in the genital area contract and pulse, I know it’s pelvic floor muscles.. What I don’t understand is WHY they do that during orgasm. I believe it’s a release of tension or what have you… But why do other muscles of the body not contract, pulse, and feel pleasurable to that extent when they experience relief of tension?

Other muscles don’t necessarily trigger various glands in your brain the way sexual organs do.

Imagine if you had an orgasm every time you sneezed. Could make for a difficult workday.
