"When I'm getting close, it feels really tingling and intense, where the nerves start to get a bit numb but not where you don't feel anything. It's more like it's so intense and powerful that you zone out and don't recognize what's happening for a moment. And then it explodes and you're like ohhhh yeah that feels good and then your mind goes a bit dark." — Alex
My Mind Goes Blank
"I literally don't think, see anything, take note of what's going on. Head just zones out, eyes are shut, and the mind is blank. Then I can really enjoy the orgasm and not be distracted by other things." — Jess
Vibrations Over and Over
"It just feels like this heavy vibration going through my vagina, like it's electric and incessant and keeps getting stronger and stronger until 'BOOM' orgasm hits." — Julia
It Feels Like I Have to Pee
"It feels like I need to pee, but in an amazing way. I guess the pressure on my pelvis and the vibrations on the clit come together and make this 'urge' sensation that feels similar to needing to pee for a long long time and then finally being able to release. And that release feels freaking awesome." — Kylie
I Feel Overwhelmed
"So it sounds bad, like I am anxious and stressed, but it's more of a good overwhelm, like my vagina is a volcano and this hot lava is trying to get out and it's building and building and then just explodes. The building part is some overwhelm, but powerful good one." — Tiffany
It's Like I Took Muscle Relaxers
"It's like I'm on muscle relaxers and I'm totally zoned out. Like no thoughts and all I can do is feel my body rather than think anything." — Christine
Rushing Water
"It's like rushing water flowing through my vagina." — Jen
I Get Dizzy
"I get really dizzy, where my head is spinning and it's pulsing and vibrating. My vagina is, too. Like vibrations throughout the body from the belly button down to the vagina and then outwards." — Lisa
Muscles Tighten
"My muscles get so tight in my pelvis and vagina and even legs where they start to cramp up (but it's not painful, just tight). I start to twist a little because it's so tight and my body gets so hot. It's hard to swallow and breathe. And then it happens and I usually get aftershocks that will last a few seconds and I'm just GONE." — Lizzie
I'm Left a Noodle
"Before orgasming I am tight everywhere and it's pulsing energy from my vagina. Like creeping up and getting bigger and bigger. It feels better and better. Then when I orgasm and it releases, it's like WOW fireworks everywhere and electricity, as if there's a current coursing through nerves in my vagina, and then I feel weak and noodle-ish. Like just a flimsy noodle that needs to lie there for a few minutes or cuddle." — Rachel
