![]() Yes, the thigh muscles happen to be the most noticeable, but in the process, they may also be contracting their pelvic floor muscles, and butt muscles, which can lead to increased blood flow, which leads to increased sensation.Īnd it’s not necessarily voluntary. For one it’s near the genitals, and so for some women, they just tense up the entire area. Many women find that they need to clench muscles in order to have an orgasm.

Legs shaking after sex might be caused by spasming muscles due to prolonged tension So, one way to test this theory would be to check your heart rate (when you regain control of your limbs), before it returns to normal. If it’s really high, that might be related. Some people’s heart rates increase more than others, and it seems that for some women, it raises so high, it gives the same shaking, thanks to all the natural chemicals being pumped into our bloodstream along with the increased heart rate. A fear response is very similar to arousal in a lot of ways.

I’m afraid I can’t find any stats to say how many have experienced this, but judging by the number of people asking, I don’t think it’s that rare. Why do some people shake post-orgasm, whether it be legs, arms, or their whole body and is it something to worry about?
