What is shaking after orgasm?

Shaking after orgasm is a common reaction experienced by both men and women. It occurs due to the release of tension and the rush of feel-good hormones (such as oxytocin and endorphins) that flood the body during orgasm. These hormones can cause involuntary muscle contractions, tremors, and shaking, especially in the legs, arms, and torso. The intensity and duration of the shaking typically vary from person to person, but it usually dissipates within a few minutes. It is generally considered a normal and harmless physical reaction, although some people may find it uncomfortable or worrying. Talk to a healthcare professional if shaking after orgasm is accompanied by pain, discomfort, or other symptoms that concern you.
