After orgasm

Absolutely!

Understand that orgasm⁠ (orgasm: An event typically in response to physical or intellectual sexual stimulation, controlled by the involuntary nervous system. ) isn’t really a genital event: rather, it’s a whole body event, one that takes place primarily in your nervous system⁠ (nervous system: The system of cells, tissues and organs that regulate our body’s responses to internal and external stimuli.) and cardiovascular system, but which we feel effects of in our genitals⁠ (genitals: Body parts that are generally, culturally, scientifically or personally considered to be external sexual or reproductive organs.) as well, and which genital sex⁠ (genital sex: Kinds of sex people have which involve the vulva, vagina, penis, testicles, anus and/or rectum or any immediate areas surrounding those parts.) often causes.

So, your heart rate goes up during arousal⁠ (arousal: A state of sexual excitement and interest that sends messages to the brain which create physical changes and sensations, such as increased blood pressure, erection, lubrication, loosening of the vaginal or anal muscles, and increased physical sensitivity.) and orgasm, your sensory nerve endings get all tweaked, your muscles tighten and contract – it’s a LOT that’s going on in your body.

When orgasm is finished, there is a stage of resolution, in which your body is getting itself back to normal and recuperating. For some people, or sometimes, they may feel the way they did before arousal and orgasm within a few minutes, and for others, or at other times, it can even take a couple of hours.

One of the nicest things about orgasm is that deep feeling of relaxation, a sort of full-body buzz and well-being afterwards, so give yourself some time to enjoy it!
