So, how do you really know you’ve had an orgasm? The truth is, an orgasm is hard to miss because of how intense and unmistakable it feels.

Here are 7 unmistakable signs of orgasm you should look out for:

A wave of intense pleasure that builds up and then crashes through your body.

Rhythmic muscle contractions in the pelvic area and vaginal walls.

Leg shaking, body trembling, or even curling your toes involuntarily.

Increased moaning, rapid breathing, or heart-pounding sensations.

Squirting or vaginal lubrication may happen for some women.

Clitoral or full-body sensitivity right after the orgasm.

A feeling of emotional release or deep satisfaction that sets it apart from regular pleasure.

The feeling is so powerful and distinct, you’ll know. And if you’re unsure, chances are you haven’t reached your peak yet—but that’s okay. Everyone’s journey to orgasm is different, try to slow down, explore your body, and focus more on pleasure rather than performance. Over time, recognizing those orgasmic signals becomes easier and more natural.
