What is an orgasm?

An orgasm is the result of an increase and eventual release in sexual tension. Sometimes it takes a while to reach orgasm, but sex can still be pleasurable without having an orgasm. If you do not experience pleasure or have an orgasm there could be social, emotional, or physical reasons for this. Speak with a healthcare provider about your concerns. Save this question to your favorites if you'd like to talk about it more with your healthcare provider.
