Orgasms and pain are processed by the same part of the brain, which is why some people look like they are in pain when they orgasm! It also means you can’t feel pain as much while you are orgasming!

The word Orgasm comes from the Greek word Orgasmos, which means "to swell as with moisture, be excited or eager." This is a great fact to know for pub quizzes!

UPD:

Indeed, the etymology of "orgasm" reveals much about the human condition and our understanding of sexual experiences. This intriguing blend of eagerness and overwhelming sensations is a testament to the complexity of human sexual response. Interestingly, while the original Greek may draw from the imagery of swelling moisture, modern interpretations of the word engage a wide range of emotional and physical resonances. Whether whispered between lovers or discussed in academic discourse, the term encapsulates an intricate mix of biology, psychology, and intimacy. Fun fact to drop in casual conversation, right?
