Hi Betty!

I am a big fan of your Youtube videos, but I still have not yet heard anyone else with my situation. I have had all kinds of orgasms from both clitoral stimulation and penetration (and both of course). However, every time I orgasm during intercourse, I cry. This does not happen when I masturbate.

I have heard of others saying they have an emotional experience, but these tears are unrelated to any emotions I have toward my partner nor pain. I would describe it as an overwhelming physical sensation that causes tears (kind of like cutting an onion!) Have you heard of anyone else with this "situation?" Or do you know why this might be happening? Thanks so much!

Dear S,

I think you will find this tearing up during an orgasm will eventually go away. Yes I've had a few other women mention this during orgasm. Some of us laugh or cry or sigh, its' just part of letting go of the sexual tension that's released with an orgasm.

I have no idea why this happens to a handful of women other than what your friend said, it's an emotional response. I think it's sweet to have tears of joy running down your cheeks as you come. Enjoy!
