When you say shaking...you mean like shivering? or like spasms? Or straight up Parkinsons shaking? Need a few more details.

i shake when i have sex..but like, i do this spasm type thing and start shivering type deals....

its all good... it means she likes it... probably..

every girl is different though

An orgasm is the release of tension in the body. Some women have rather localised orgasms and some, rather generalized. Fortunately for us, most of us experience a great variety of orgasms.

Your g/f is becoming highly myotonic (tensed up) as orgasm approaches. The good news is that when she lets loose it will likely be an earth shaker. The down side is that she will sometimes be left high and dry - and very frustrated. What you describe is experienced by most women once in a while and by some women quite frequently.

im a guy and one time i shook uncontrollably. i wasnt cold at all. what i think was happening was something neurological. a lot of **** happens chemically in your head during sex. at the time i was on SSRI's, anti-anxiety medication like zoloft or prozac. i figured that the meds were the cause of the shaking so i stopped taking them and the next time i had sex i was perfectly fine. if she is on anti-anxiety medication it may be the cause.

Thankyou so much for that! I always shake during sex, and not an enjoyable kind of shake, more like i could only lie down couldn't do anything else. But i am taking Prozac and i know shaking is a common side effect. I do suffer from shaking in day to day life too, but it always gets worse during sex. Thankyou for clearing this up for me :)

im not certain but i figure it is because during sex you get a surge of serotonin, with prozac and those kinds of drugs they block the reuptake of serotonin so you get sort of an overdose of it. when i stopped taking the meds the shaking stopped completely.

Those of you who plan to change your SSRIs, or any other drug, to help with your sex lives- TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR FIRST. You know those shakes you got during sex? Sudden withdrawal can give them to you all day, and they are ten times worse. You feel dizzy and unsteady on your feet, like you're about to pass out. In rare cases, sudden withdrawal from SSRIs can cause seizures. Even withdrawal from a low dose, after only a few days of taking it, can cause this.

The moral of the story is, don't try this at home. Tell your doctor about your issue and s/he can help you find a different dosage or a different medication that could work for you. Yes, it's embarrassing to discuss your sex life with your therapist. But it's a hell of a lot more embarrassing to end up in the ER with a seizure and have to explain why. Discussing medication side effects is part of your doctor's job. Let them help you- and don't mess around with your medication on your own.

Shaking and tensing up before orgasm is a great way of guaranteeing that you will NOT have one. Men: to stop this sort of thing induce relaxation through erotic massage, body worship, and extended foreplay. Women should force themselves if necessary to relax, breathe deeply, and let the feelings roll on through.

we are talking shaking not tensing up perhaps they are different ? I think it could be (in normal individuals medications aside) due to exitement it happens to me happened to her prior to orgasm not to mention the spasms of orgasm like other have said we are all different

Shaking in a male does NOT affect orgasm but ANY physical tension in a female will adversely affect orgasm and is used by some, in an effort to retain control, to prevent orgasm; sad to say. Sexual tension is one thing but any other kind, esp physical, is not good.

my legs shake when i orgasm, its not a tensing kind of feeling, just the pleasure of it i guess?

I shake when I'm very aroused. It's normal I think.

Betcha they just feel as if they are shaking but actually aren't. An orgasm fires off all the nerve endings!
