An orgasm is a strong feeling of pleasure and release that some people experience during sex. This can happen for both men and women.

When people talk about an orgasm, they usually mean the intense physical sensation that comes with it. But some people might also be discussing the emotional release or sense of intimacy that happens when two people have sex together. For example, "We had a great time in bed last night - I felt so connected to my partner and even experienced a few orgasms." In this case, the person is talking about more than just the physical sensation, but also the emotional connection they felt during sex.
