What is Orgasm?
An '''orgasm''' is a [[sexuality|sexual]] climax (or high point). An orgasm happens because of continued sexual stimulation. During an orgasm, there is a strong feeling of excitement and pleasure. Sexual stimulation may be done by [[sexual intercourse]], [[masturbation]], or other actions that make the sex organs feel good. During an orgasm, a person's body sometimes [[wikt:spasm|spasm]]s (shakes or trembles), and the person may appear to be in pain or get a strange look on their face. The person's brain activity changes quickly. The parts of the brain responsible for fear, worry, and self-control become less active. Many people moan, shout, or say strange things during orgasm. Usually, people's minds focus almost completely on the pleasure of the orgasm and become less aware of what is going on around them than usual. Orgasms may sometimes happen when people are asleep, this is called a [[wet dream]]. Other [[mammals]] may have orgasms when they have sexual intercourse. == Male orgasm == The [[penis]] usually becomes [[Erection|erect]] (hard) before an orgasm, and flaccid (soft) again after. When a man has an orgasm, his penis spasms and undergoes a series of rhythmic contractions, during which he feels a very strong and enjoyable feeling in his penis and groin, and sometimes in all of his body. In a man, an orgasm usually happens at the same time as an [[ejaculate|ejaculation]], which is a release of [[semen]] through the penis that can't be stopped. Young boys can orgasm, but there may be no semen because semen release usually occurs (happens) only after [[puberty]] has started. After an orgasm, men usually have a deep sense of [[relaxation]], usually felt in the [[groin]] and the thighs. Usually the stronger the orgasm is, the deeper the relaxation and the longer the relaxation will last. This is due to the [[dopamine]] surge in the brain. <ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.uphs.upenn.edu/addiction/berman/neuro/dopamine.html#:~:text=Experiencing%20a%20pleasurable%20event%20(e.g.,to%20enjoy%20another%20ple
