For many, orgasming is not something that happens every time. If you have had an orgasm before, then you know that having one is to reach the pinnacle of pleasure and see the world freeze around you (or something equivalent). A moment of pure pleasure, during which happiness struggles to find a way out. Therefore, sometimes, we scream... But why?

While this question has long gone unanswered, some doctors are doing their best to provide an explanation. Such is the case of Patrick Papazian, a French sexologist and author of Parlez-moi d'amour (Talk to Me About Love). In an interview with French newspaper L'Express he explains what links screaming and orgasming... and it might just be about your breath!
Communication with your partner
Screaming expels air from the ribcage and relaxes it, accompanying the orgasm. However, screaming can also be a kind of signal that lets your partner know that you're simply enjoying yourself. It could be a way of showing your satisfaction and guiding your partner.
The influence of porn
But this extreme way of communicating may also have been influenced by pornography, where moans are often exaggerated. In 'real' life, an orgasm can express itself, just as easily be a scream, a sigh, a whimper, loudly or quietly. It's different for everyone.
In the end, we may have to accept that there are only partial explanations for this release of the voice at the moment of 'little death'.
Something mysterious and irreducible remains in this cry,
A purely physiological manifestation, an expressed feeling of well-being or a porn-influenced 'phenomenon'... Whether you express your pleasure quietly or loudly it is nonetheless happening! If you feel like screaming, why deprive yourself? Go ahead!
