Strictly in the interest of scholarly research and story authenticity: I would love to hear from some writers and readers with ovaries about your orgasms. A dude knows when he is done, though sometimes he might run out of steam before the load is delivered. Women appear to have a greater range of what an orgasm is. It can be different at different times and can change over a lifetime from 'gentle buzz' to 'I totally lost my mind' and maybe back to a buzz again. So your character in a story is masturbating, or with a partner. What does she need to 'get there'? Where is 'there'? What makes it disappointing, frustrating,... better than the last time? What tells her she needs to go again? Can she push right through that bit when her clit is too sensitive? How does she tell her partner (or her fingers or her device) what they need to do to get her to 'that place? Have women changed in terms of being vocal about exactly what they want? (Maybe separate thread: What features would your magic sex toy have?) Coda: Even though these questions could lead to some really interesting storytelling about how a woman is experiencing her sexuality, I feel like the response to them could be 'mind you own business.'
 
There are so many questions here, and it surely fits that if you have read one orgasm description, all it means is that you have read one orgasm description. It is not far off to say if you have experienced one orgasm, it means you have experienced one orgasm.

I’m not gonna get into a detailed reply. Feels too much like sexting. But it is worth noting that the nerve bundles in our genital regions are homologous (broadly the same structures, but dragged into different shapes by differential tissue development mediated by the Y chromosome in men).

I’m not for a second saying male and female experience of orgasm is identical. But it’s not - biologically speaking - totally different.
 
Any and all of the above. Huge variation between women, and the same woman at different ages, time of the month, or mood or with a different partner.

Some sex may feel good but not technically involve coming, some orgasms may not be that great (ideally both mind as well as body are on board for maximum effect).

So play with that how you wish. It is a trope that women often won't want sex and won't come if they're stressed, worried or angry, whereas men will often want and enjoy sex as a distraction. I think there's a bit of truth in it, but it doesn't apply to everyone.

I find sex is very helpful for mild anxiety (not utterly paralyzing anxiety obviously). But YMMV.
 
I'm done whenever I don't want more, lol. It's almost like a sort of hunger, and I have no idea how else to describe that. This was a weird thing to write, but I hope it helps.

Me thinks perhaps you should do a bit more research. From the studies I've read (which are freely available on the 'net) there is a huge difference. One of the biggest is that many women have multiple and/or extended orgasms. Men don't do either of those things.

I was referring to neurological morphology. And please read all of what I said.

I did read all of what you posted, but male and female sex organ neurological makeup are completely different. As you note, the nerve bundles are broadly the same, but in different shapes. Because of that, they respond differently. They send different messages to the brain. Different tissues of similar makeup in different configurations do different things. Saying they are "biologically speaking" "not totally different" is like saying a potato is a potato and they all taste the same. Neither statement is true. Well unless you have numb taste buds or a numb...

OK - I bow to your vastly superior knowledge of biology and anatomy.

I’d suggest people research the meanings of “homologous” and “not totally different” as this week’s homework. There will be a test on Friday.

adj.
1. Corresponding or similar in position, value, structure, or function.
2. Derived from the same species: a homologous graft.
3. Biology Similar in structure and evolutionary origin, though not necessarily in function, as the flippers of a seal and the hands of a human.
4. Immunology Relating to the correspondence between an antigen and the antibody produced in response to it.
5. Genetics
a. Relating to chromosomes that have the same morphology and linear sequence of gene loci.
b. Relating to genes that are derived from a common ancestor.
6. Chemistry Belonging to or being a series of organic compounds, each successive member of which differs from the preceding member by a constant increment, especially by an added CH2 group.

I mean, there could be an even better (likely more esoteric) word choice but this sure seems to work fine and dandy.

There is a tremendous amount of variability, just day to day. Sometimes it's a small release... like your whole body just relaxes.
Other times it's big, almost overwhelming.

Oh FFS! I was neither disrespectful nor snarky. But you're trying the (as Linda put it) "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" passive-aggressive approach? If you don't want to discuss an issue like an adult, don't bring it up.

Okay after looking at Euphony's post I see where you were going. However, what does that have to do with the OP's question?
That’s your opinion.
Show me where I was. I don't think I was either of those. But I can't take responsibility for how you interpreted what I said. It isn't my place to try to tailor my posts to your liking or try to keep you from interpreting them in a way they weren't meant.

So you admit you didn’t understand what I was saying and yet still said I was wrong. I then explained further, and politely suggested you read what I said again. Then you doubled down with the mansplaining.

Sorry, maybe I just interpreted all that.
 
Show me where I was.

We can't take responsibility for how you come across even if you don't mean it in that manner.

Not our place to tailor our responses to make up for whatever shortfall in your socialization led you to misunderstanding how your words are viewed in both meaning and attitude.

Per your everyone for themselves directive.
