An orgasm is the peak of sexual pleasure. It often takes the form of rhythmic contractions of the pelvic floor muscles, a buildup of tension followed by release, and an intense feeling of relaxation and well-being. It can be triggered by a wide variety of stimulation and does not necessarily depend on penetration. Its frequency, intensity, and the way it is reached differ enormously from one person to another and from one moment to the next. An orgasm is neither an obligation nor a performance goal: pleasure and the quality of the encounter matter just as much as whether it happens.
