Think I had an orgasm?!

Unread post by MattsGirl »

I think I had an orgasm last night, but I'm not sure if I did or not! :oops:

I have been masturbating a lot the past week, but last night tried something different, I applied a LOT more pressure on my clitoris while rubbing (which felt really good) I was also rubbing/tickling the enterance of my vagina.

I did that for a few minutes when my toes started twitching & my legs went tingly, after I stopped the enterance to my vagina & my clitoris carried on tingling.

Did I have an orgasm?

Hi Mattsgirl

We can't really know if what you had was an orgasm, since everybody's body experiences things slightly differently. Orgasm is generally associated with little muscle spasms, as well as getting very tense and then very relaxed. You can read about that in more detail here: Sexual Response & Orgasm: A Users Guide
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.

Thanks Sam,

I have just had a read through of that & going by explanations of how arousals/body responds to what is being done, it does sound like I had one!

My body pretty much reacted in those ways, I didn't share 'everything' in my first post as I wasn't sure how much, would be 'too' much sharing.

My body did do quite a bit of self lubcation before hand though, which helped ;)

Thanks again for the link Sam & sorry if I have shared 'too' much info in my posts x

Glad you found the link useful! And no worries, you are not over sharing! Not sure if that is even a thing here :lol: Plus, helping work through these things is what we do!

Thanks!

I wasn't sure if we could go into all the details of the how/what/where etc... when posting :o

It has/you have really helped!! I guess I just need to do a bit more exploration of the site AND my body now ;)

Oh one more question, applying a LOT of pressure directly onto the clitoris itself won't damage it will it?

Hi Mattsgirl,

When putting pressure on the clitoris, as long as you're not rubbing it until it's raw or bruised, it should be fine (and even then, bruising or similar won't cause permanent damage, it will just be uncomfortable for a bit)

No it will not :) Masturbation will not cause any damage. But as with mostly anything, if you are feeling pain you should stop (as you should not be feeling pain).

Exploring the site is a great idea. We have a ton of articles! Here are a couple that might be of interest to you:

Thanks Sam,

It does feel tender at the moment, I kind of like the feeling though - I was just worried I had/could do permanent damage to it!

The only way I seem to be able to get myself to 'that' point is by being quite rough with direct pressure.

Thanks for reassuring me I haven't done any real damage to it x

Thanks, it was /is quite a nice 'pain' though (if that makes sense :? )

I'll take a look at those!

Thanks for all the help & reassurance with things x
