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

831 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?

Have never looked into this, but isn’t there a release of oxytocin? That is a hormone that also stimulates muscle contractions during labor.
