S2 Ep97: Are You Laughing at Me or Did You Have an Orgasm?


Listen Later

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
    • Results of my research on peri-orgasmic phenomenon
    • If you have an unusual physical or emotional response when you have an orgasm, please take my anonymous 2-minute Survey.
