Do you believe it is possible for someone to have an orgasm without realizing it, and maybe thinking that it was just arousal or pleasure and not actual release?

I have read in some self-help books about enhancing your sex life and having more (or any!) orgasms that sometimes people can climax without realizing the sensation they have experienced was an orgasm. This can be because different orgasms may feel more intense, less intense, or involve different feelings (lightheadedness, waves of pleasure, muscle contraction of different intensity, and other such feelings). less

It happens with me quite often sometimes, I think it is when I am too easy on the exercises and my muscles aren't in such a shape, and it also happens when I have come soooooooo many times already that after a few of them I can barely tell the difference! ~lol

But yep, it can be quite frustrating, because I often do such things to rush myself with more endorphins, because it is very healthy for your body and mind and soul and just helps in being balanced and happy all the time - and when I am not sure if have really come or not then it means one more try, sometimes taking tiringly long! ~sighs ^^ less

It makes me happy to see that so many people on this thread think it IS possible to have an orgasm without knowing it. Although it's thankfully not a problem anymore, I had a really difficult time getting to my first orgasm, and I can't tell you how many variations of "if it happens, you'll know it" I heard. In retrospect, this seems like completely useless "advice" to me. A combination of not knowing what kind of stimulation I liked and being on anti-anxiety meds made it really hard for me to know what was going on with my body, and to be honest, I don't know when I actually had my first orgasm because I had been lead to believe that all orgasms were these massive, head-exploding events. It's now pretty obvious to me that I was having weak orgasms, but it would have been nice to know that I was on the right "track," so to speak--telling someone that what they're feeling can't be a "real" orgasm if they're not sure about it just seems unhelpful to me and, to be honest, a little dismissive of people's differing experiences :\ less
