Psychological Definition of Orgasm
Psychologists and psychiatrists define orgasm based on subjective experiences of satisfaction, release, and other emotional and/or cognitive changes. Freud (who distinguished vaginal from clitoral orgasms) considered one kind to be proof of psychological health and the other to be a sign of psychosocial development that has stalled. By Freud's definition a good orgasm came from vaginal penetration, and a bad one from clitoral stimulation. Most psychologists and psychological researchers have abandoned this concept and by most of these definitions either you've had an orgasm when you say you've had an orgasm, or you've had one when what you describe matches what some expert proposes orgasm and react to pheromones.
