I recently received a thought-provoking question from one of my readers: “Why the shakes and spasms after orgasm?” This sparked my interest in exploring the fascinating physiological causes behind this phenomenon. In this article, we will delve into the reasons why some women experience leg shaking after sex and whether or not it is something to be concerned about.
Trembling: A Sign of Increased Heart Rate
One prevailing theory suggests that trembling occurs when the heart rate significantly increases. We often observe this response when individuals are frightened. During moments of fear, our bodies pump more blood to our limbs, enhancing our energy levels and sharpening our senses. While sex is not a fearful experience (hopefully), it does raise our heart rate. Moreover, arousal and fear share several similarities in terms of physiological response. For some women, their heart rate increases to such an extent during sex that it causes shaking, due to the release of natural chemicals into the bloodstream. To test this theory, monitor your heart rate after regaining control of your limbs. If it remains considerably high, it may be related to the shaking.

Spasming Muscles: Tension and Release
Many women feel the need to contract certain muscles in order to achieve orgasm. This tension manifests in actions such as grasping bed sheets, scratching, hair-pulling, or even breast grabbing. One prominent muscle group often contracted during sexual activity is the thigh muscles. These muscles are in close proximity to the genitals, causing some women to experience overall tension in the area. While the thigh muscles may be the most noticeable, contraction of the pelvic floor and buttock muscles can also occur, leading to increased blood flow and heightened sensations.

Interestingly, this muscle tension is not necessarily voluntary. In fact, the level of tension can reach a point of pain. However, the release of natural pain-relief hormones during orgasm masks any discomfort. Once orgasm is achieved, and the muscle tension is finally released, the legs may begin to shake due to the intense workout they have endured. To verify this theory, pay attention to whether your thigh muscles are contracted during sex. If they feel rigid, this likely explains why your legs shake after sex. Additionally, experiencing wobbly legs when attempting to walk post-sex may indicate muscle fatigue resulting from orgasm-induced contractions.
Orgasm Extending Beyond the Genitals
Orgasms involve rapid muscle contractions and releases in the genital region. The intensity of these contractions often corresponds to the strength of the orgasm. However, for some women, these involuntary contractions extend beyond the muscles surrounding the genitals, affecting other parts of the body. Legs shaking after sex can be a result of this phenomenon, while others may experience contractions in their abdominal muscles.
It is worth noting that some women can achieve orgasms solely through exercising their abdominal muscles (known as “core-gasms”). This correlation highlights the interconnectedness of different muscle groups in the body.
Overloaded Brain: Misfiring Nervous System
Lastly, the shaking can be attributed to an overwhelmed nervous system receiving an abundance of pleasure signals. Interestingly, pleasure and pain share the same mechanisms for communicating with the brain. Both sensations rely on the activation of sensory receptors and the transmission of signals. When experiencing pain, our bodies instinctively attempt to withdraw from the source of discomfort. This happens so quickly that our muscle contraction occurs before we consciously process the sensation, almost as if our bodies possess pre-cognition.

In the case of intense pleasure, it is possible that the strong signals overload the nervous system, causing it to short-circuit. Consequently, the body instinctively flails body parts in an effort to find resolution, bypassing the conscious involvement of the brain.
To sum it up, there are four plausible explanations for leg shaking after orgasm. If you are aware of any additional theories or experiences, please share them in the comments below.
