Do orgasms cleanse the vagina?

As a woman, I can say there’s definitely a feeling of “cleansing” after an orgasm, but it’s more about emotional and physical release than actual cleanliness. The muscle contractions that happen during climax feel like a wave, and that sensation often leaves me feeling lighter and more relaxed. It’s almost like a natural way to let go of built-up tension in the body.

The natural lubrication that comes with arousal probably plays a role too. It helps the vaginal tissues stay healthy and hydrated, which adds to the feeling of renewal. But this isn’t the same as physical cleaning—our bodies are already great at maintaining a healthy vaginal environment on their own.

What’s fascinating to me is how much of this is influenced by our mental state. Orgasms are a stress reliever, thanks to the release of endorphins and oxytocin. Those hormones can create a sense of happiness and emotional relief, which might be why some people associate orgasms with “cleansing.”

Overall, I think it’s important to view orgasms as part of overall sexual health. They might not clean anything physically, but they do offer incredible benefits for both the body and mind. It’s amazing how much of an impact something so natural can have on our well-being.
