How much do you know about [your orgasms](https://allwomenstalk.com/10-things-about-womans-orgasm-you-should-know/)? I was surprised by my lack of knowledge... I mean, do you know how many calories one burns, or why they are good for men? I’ve been doing some research, and here are my top ten facts you never knew about orgasms... You’ll be shocked! ## 1. His and Hers ![His and Hers](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/04/10-things-you-never-knew-about-orgasms/his-and-hers_things-you-never-knew-orgasms_500x324.jpg) Photo Credit: [Xander Shaw](https://www.flickr.com/photos/xandershaw/3433977135/) Researchers have discovered that his orgasm feels much the same as yours! There are some differences, due to the [location of the G spots](https://allwomenstalk.com/finding-the-male-g-spot/) and the time difference, but the main moment of bliss is very similar! ## 2. Time ![Time](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/04/10-things-you-never-knew-about-orgasms/time_things-you-never-knew-orgasms_500x333.jpg) Photo Credit: [waynemah](https://www.flickr.com/photos/waynemah/85935850/) The average man takes between one and ten minutes to reach an orgasm, but women can take up to twenty minutes. Male orgasms only last for around four seconds, though, whereas a woman's can last up to fifteen! Yaay! :D ## 3. Pain ![Pain](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/04/10-things-you-never-knew-about-orgasms/pain_things-you-never-knew-orgasms_500x382.jpg) Photo Credit: [Lump Of Hesitation](https://www.flickr.com/photos/leadsoup/1353777536/) 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! ## 4. Sleep Sex? _ Photo Credit: hsmithphotography_ It is completely possible to orgasm in your sleep, but not due to physical stimulation. Night pleasure is usually caused by mental stimulation, which is why you don’t wake up! I bet you can't wait to get a [good night's sleep](https://allwomenstalk.com/10-tips-for-a-good-night-sleep/)now ;) ## 5. Calories ![Calories](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/04/10-things-you-never-knew-about-orgasms/calories_things-you-never-knew-orgasms_500x421.jpg) Photo Credit: [michele cat](https://www.flickr.com/photos/asv/2226580859/) An orgasm burns only three calories, but you’ll burn around 50 calories in the run up, which makes sex a[good exercise](https://allwomenstalk.com/10-top-exercises-to-lose-weight/) as well as fun! What other excuse do you need? ## 6. Health Benefits ![Health Benefits](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/04/10-things-you-never-knew-about-orgasms/health-benefits_things-you-never-knew-orgasms_500x349.jpg) Photo Credit: [challiyan](https://www.flickr.com/photos/challiyan/2627652934/) Orgasms have been medically proven to boost your[immune system](https://allwomenstalk.com/10-best-foods-for-your-immune-system/), and they cut your chances of heart disease and [cancer](https://allwomenstalk.com/top-10-cancer-fighting-foods/).
