Dear brown3000,

Yes. Multiple orgasms happen when more than one orgasm occurs within a brief space of time without periods of relaxation or re-arousal between orgasms. Multiple orgasms are more common in women, but they can happen in men. According to some authorities, women and men can teach themselves to have multiple orgasms, and a number of books have been published on this subject.

For guys and girls, an orgasm is the release of built-up muscle tension resulting from sexual activity. It produces rapid muscle contractions usually in the genital and anal area, but these contractions can also be throughout the body. Most people find these muscular contractions very pleasant.

Hope this information helps!

Take care,
