Join the roomOrgasmo, clímax sexual, o simplemente clímax, es la liberación repentina de excitación sexual acumulada durante el ciclo de respuesta sexual, caracterizado por un placer sexual intenso que resulta en contracciones musculares rítmicas e involuntarias en la región pélvica. Los orgasmos son controlados por el sistema nervioso involuntario o autónomo y son experimentados tanto por hombres como por mujeres; la respuesta del cuerpo incluye espasmos musculares, una sensación de euforia general y, frecuentemente, movimientos corporales y vocalizaciones. El período después del orgasmo es típicamente una experiencia relajante debido a la liberación de las neurohormonas oxitocina y prolactina, así como endorfinas.

“Above his desk at Rutgers University, psychology professor Barry Komisaruk has a framed image of what female brain activity looks like during orgasm. It looks like a sunset. Every major region of her brain ignites at the height of climax.”
“There is good reason to believe that orgasms while sleeping are not, in fact, the result of genital stimulation, but instead are created in the brain.”
“Orgasm is fantastic for your brain. A lot of different regions are activated, which means they're getting a lot of blood flow. It's kind of a workout for your brain."”
“"Their brain activity is very similar to women who have orgasms from physical self-stimulation," Komisaruk says. This even includes heightened activity in the sensory cortex, the area that primarily responds to touch. "Just thinking about stimulation, it turns out, is a very potent way of stimulating this region," he says.”
“By the time you actually experience an orgasm, "more than 30 major brain systems are activated," Komisaruk says. "It's not a local, discrete event. There's no 'orgasm center.' It's everywhere."”
“Overall, our findings lead us to conclude that women’s orgasm is a major neurological event, involving widespread activity in many regions of the brain. Future effective connectivity studies should help elucidate how the activity of these regions develops and is integrated over the course of stimulation, orgasm, and recovery in the totality of the orgasm sequence.”
