Q: "aftershock" After Orgasm

Hello, im a guy here in the women's forum trying to find out some stuff
excuse me if I dont get very specific or seem vague, I dont really know that much about women's health to be honest

i recently had sex with my girlfriend and I was laying in bed with her and I noticed she was not really shaking, not quite twitching, but kind of like shivering I guess is the best way to describe it. I didnt ask, but she actually told me it was something called 'aftershock' but didnt really explain it that well. Im just curious if maybe anyone has a webpage or some study sites or something that gives more info, or if anyone can tell me better or describe it because its not that im like nosey or anything I just want to understand what shes going through and it really interests me as I think I will soon be on a career path to becoming a doctor.

Thanks a lot, I appreciate any feedback in my email or on this board

Relax man, it just means you are pleasing her very well. Lots of women have aftershocks when they have an intense orgasm. Just keep on doing whatever you did and she'll be one happy girl!

Relax
I wouldn't worry about it. I have had the happen on numorous occasions. It is the "power" of the orgasm. I have already had my legs shake. I would actually wobble on them when I walked. It's normal, don't get anxious about it. Like the post before me...That means you are doing a good job. Keep it up!

Shock After Orgasm
Hello chris, I read your question concerning women having after s hock after an orgasm. I don't k now if you would actually call it after shock but after an orgasm, my body trembles during the actual orgasm, and for a few min afterwards, but I think it's because the body is so excited before, and during an orgasm that it takes awhile for it to calm down. I don't think your girlfriend is in any danger. I can only speak for myself, being a woman. I've always thought it was a normal part of sex to have these trembling feelings. The body gets so excited during foreplay, and during sex then the orgasm finally comes, and it's such a wonderful feeling when it happens that it takes a little while for the body to relax and get back to being normal again. I don't think it's anything to worry or be concerned about though unless your girlfriend is shaking excessively and for a long period of time, then maybe it should be looked into. Just thought i'd pass this along to you. Good luck in your profession as a doctor. I wish you the best.

Good Lover
Well sweetie, I have been married for six years and I know exactly what you are talking about. Whenever my husband gives me a particularly intense orgasm I do exactly that. I bask in it. Aftershock is a great nickname. Make no mistake, she is not still orgasaming (is that a word?)she is simply re-orchestrating her fluids if you will. She isn't faking anything. No orgasm ever hurt any woman. By the way i'm also epileptic. I know all about siezures. My husband has never sent sent me into a siezure as a result of sensory overload. Now, next time it happens, congratulate yourself and go order the chinese food.

Pat On the Back
Give yourself a pat on the back. You are giving your girl a really intense orgasm. I do it to mine everytime but some women dont even know what they are because noone has known how to give them one.

Shaking
I shake after an orgasm for about 15 min. If I make myself get up and walk I'm really shaky and wobbly. If it was a really big one I'm so weak I can barely stand up at all. I'm really useless for about 10-15 minutes after a huge orgasm. If there was a fire, I'm not sure I could force myself to run.

aftershocks
these aftershocks can also happen hours after the actual orgasm, just thinking about what happened to your body can put a woman right back there, intense start in the pelvis, ripple up the spine and radiates out through the body. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
