Dear Curiosogr,

That sounds normal. During the arousal phase of the sexual response cycle, it's common for muscles in the body to tense up. This might cause a person's legs to start twitching. A lot of people also find that their toes curl up as they are approaching orgasm. This tension is usually released when people have orgasms. Also, sometimes when people are masturbating or having other kinds of sex play, they hold their bodies in one position for a while, which can cause muscles to tense up and feel sore or twitch.

Hope this information helps!

Take care,
