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

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?

The Y chromosome leads to the production of the biochemical cues that lead to differentiation of development which embryologically are the same parts. Consequently, while there are differences such as spermatogenesis and ejaculation in men and Skene’s gland secretions in women, both sexes start out with the same anatomy. This, it’s likely more of an embryologic feature of generalized development of the reproductive system than some evolutionary advantage of pelvic floor muscles that contract versus those who don’t.
