Is it that women reach climax later than men?

Patient's question:

Hello
I always feel a particularly comfortable sensation when I have sex with my husband, and I don’t know if it’s what they call an orgasm. We usually spend several minutes on foreplay before intercourse. After his penis enters my vagina, I quickly develop a sense of pleasure and involuntarily his movements until I (it takes about two or three minutes) reach satisfaction. Then, I’m not as engaged anymore, but my husband is still in the heat of the moment until he orgasms. However, I can feel strong contractions in my vaginal area. Even when my husband’s penis is still inside my body, he can also feel the contractions I mentioned.

Doctor's answer:

Everyone's experience of sexual climax is different. Generally, during a climax, a woman may experience:
Breathing becomes rapid, her face turns red, her heart rate increases, her blood pressure rises, sometimes she experiences muscle spasms, abdominal muscle contractions, involuntary tremors in her vaginal muscles, and louder moaning sounds. —— Of course, this is not a universal rule. Some may cry, while others may experience brief shock, and so on.
However, as long as there is pleasure and a sense of relaxation afterward, it doesn’t necessarily have to involve all these symptoms.
So, what you experienced is a normal sexual climax. The descriptions of sexual scenes in novels are unreliable.
