According to Orgasmo-graph, all’s equal between the sexes

Enjoy this excellent clinical review on orgasm written by Dr. Alan Fogel, Professor of Psychology at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. This piece highlights the crucial role of the pelvic floor, aka Kegel, muscles in the experience of orgasm.

The excerpt below includes measured activity of the Kegel muscles during orgasm in women and men:

Two studies done at the University of Minnesota Medical School and published in the early 1980′s measured the intensity, frequency, and durations of pelvic muscle contractions (measured with a pressure sensitive anal probe) of males and females during masturbation. There was basically no difference in the pattern of these contractions between males and females.

KEGEL MUSCLE ACTIVITY DURING ORGASM

As shown in the diagram, taken from one of these studies, orgasm begins as a series of 6 – 15 regular contractions of high intensity occurring over about 20-30 seconds. There are individual differences (but no gender differences) in what occurs after this series of regular contractions. For some men and women, these regular contractions are the primary orgasmic experience. These Type I orgasms are the most frequent. Other men and women, however, may continue to experience irregular contractions (shown in the diagram) for another 30 – 90 seconds, so called Type II orgasms. A relatively few people have mixed patterns of regular and irregular contractions.
