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

839 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?

Some research suggests the contraction of the pelvic muscles might help introduce semen to the cervix more directly and aid in conception, but it could just be one of those “just because” things.
