If you laugh, weep, or have foot pain when have an orgasm, you are not the only one. But, since it’s not a topic that generally comes up in casual conversation, you may think you are the only one, and end up spending a lot of time explaining to your partner that you are not laughing at them, and if you burst into tears post orgasm, you are not necessarily unhappy. What you may be experiencing is peri-orgasmic phenomenon.
In this episode, I discuss:
The difference between a normal orgasmic response and peri orgasmic phenomenon
PHYSICAL manifestations of peri-orgasmic phenomenon
EMOTIONAL manifestations of peri-orgasmic phenomenon
Things associated with sexual activity that is NOT considered to be a peri-orgasmic phenomenon
Incontinence
Pelvic or clitoral pain with orgasm
Sexual headache and orgasmic headache
Female ejaculation and squirting
When a sexual headache may be an indication of a serious problem
