WHAT EXACTLY DO WHOLE-BODY ORGASMS FEEL LIKE

Everyone experiences this orgasmic high slightly differently, which makes it difficult to describe in general terms. The experience is often so intense that people resort to mystical language (using phrases like "oneness with the universe") that is difficult to understand if you have not experienced what is being described. However, people frequently have more concrete sensations such as warmth, tingling, vibrating, or pulsating throughout their body. The best way to know what you might feel is through the descriptions of men who have had whole-body multiple orgasms. One multi-orgasmic man described his first experience of a whole-body orgasm: "We were making love and I thought I was going to come and I started doing my deep breathing, and as I was doing my deep breathing my head started to kind of electrify – to tingle. Like little sparks going on inside, tingly little things that went up the back of my neck a little bit. It started rushing back and forth in my head. And I almost thought I was going to get dizzy – it was so good. And I thought, ‘If this goes any further, I might just lift off!’ It lasted for – it’s hard to know what time is like in bed – but at least a minute. It was a long orgasm. Just tingling, tingling, tingling. It would go away and then come back. Sly body was ringing like a bell." Another man described his first experience of a multiple orgasm like this: "It was not localized in my genitals. My whole body started vibrating. And I thought, ‘Well, I don't know what is going on here.' And so at first I was a little alarmed, but it felt good, so I just relaxed and let it happen." Another multi-orgasmic man described his experience this way: "My growing sexual arousal is less active, less hot, less wild than an ejaculatory orgasm. It is more balanced and controlled. As the pleasure and pressure build up, they can flow into the Microcosmic Orbit and through my whole body. The goal is not to shoot the sperm, but to feel this vibrating energy throughout my whole body, to activate love and tenderness, and to expand my spirit. The whole body is much more relaxed, especially at the moment of orgasm." Finally, one multi-orgasmic man compared the experience to an ejaculatory orgasm like this: "The feeling of the whole- body orgasm is more subtle, complete, satisfying. The whole process is not a feeling of a short explosion but of a longer and slower implosion. I don’t feel empty afterward, which is easy to understand because with an explosion something leaves your body, but with an implosion you still have it in you. There remains a deep satisfaction on the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels, which stays sometimes for hours, sometimes for days." In the West, we have limited our definition of an orgasm to pulsations that take place in our pelvis (prostate) and genitals (penis), but the ancient Taoists understood that an orgasm is any pulsation (contraction and expansion) and can take place in any part of your body. Michael Winn explains: "You can have an orgasmic pulsation in the whole body or in any part of the body. One of your organs can have an orgasm. Your brain can have an orgasm. You wouldn’t know you are having an orgasm in your penis or in your prostate unless your brain was having an orgasm, too."
