'''Aftershocks''' are involuntary muscle contractions which occur after [[orgasm]].

  The name is derived from the [[aftershock|aftershocks]]s which follow an earthquake.

  It is not clear whether aftershocks are part of the aftermathconclusion of an orgasm or are themselves a form of [[multiple orgasm]]s.

===Female Aaftershocks===
Aftershocks   in human females last for approximately one minute after an intense orgasm.     Aftershocks are usually pleasurable, but can be very painful in some cases where they are similar in intensity to [[cramps]] (though. However, after the pain subsides the overall experience may be considered pleasurable).


Aftershocks have been repeatedly observed in a womaen who dido not have voluntary control of the [[Ppubococcygeus muscle]], which supports the view that they are involuntary. Continued stimulation of the same intensity may suppress or mask aftershocks. The aftershocks are felt by the woman and can be felt by her sexual partner, either around a [[penis]], [[finger]], or [[hand]] inside the [[vagina]] or through the [[mons pubis]].

===Male Aftershocks===


A Yahoo! Health article mentions
[http://beta.health.yahoo.com/centers/sexual_health/374 male aftershocks]
as small orgasms that occur after a main orgasm and lists them as one of three forms of multiple orgasm in men.
