When a person is masturbating, or when they are having sex with another person, they become more and more sexually excited. They may reach a peak of sexual excitement, which is called an orgasm or 'cumming'. At this moment, all the tension and excitement that has built up in the body is suddenly released. During orgasm, your heart may race, your breathing may quicken, your blood pressure increases and muscles throughout the body may spasm. Orgasms produce fast muscle contractions in the genital and anal area, and around the whole body. At the point of climax, guys will usually ejaculate fluid from the penis, called semen.
