While my boyfriend is eating me out, my legs and my arms and everything go tingly and I cant control my body and I want to close my legs. Am I about to orgasm or what? Why does it make me want to close my legs?

The feeling of wanting to close your legs, well sometimes when something is too good its almost too much for us to handle. You can ask him to take it a little easy when that starts to happen and navigate from there.
Its hard to say for sure but its one of those things that you will know for sure when it happens.
rainhorse68 answered Monday November 16 2015, 4:36 am: That definitely sounds orgasmic to me. There's the emotional side, of orgasm (basically you brain produces a flood of feel good transmitters, which is why it feels pleasurable) and the physical side (the tension you've built up approaching climax is released in a series of rhythmic contractions, an alternative tensing and relaxing, centred around what's called your pelvic floor muscles). And it's common for lots of other muscles and tendons to 'join in' as it were, which accounts for the tightness. Now this is all a reflex response when you climax. You can deliberately control the pelvic floor muscles (you might have heard of 'pelvic floor excercises' which some women use after childbirth to improve and regain good muscle control?). Give it a try? Deliberately tense-up the muscles 'down there'. Think in terms of the muscular action use when you want to have, or avoid having a pee. Sorry if that sounds a bit gross, but they're the ones we mean. Imagining you controlling an elevator. Tense to raise the elevator (as you might say), hold it at the top for a few seconds, then release steadily (like you're letting the elevator go down again). Repeat the whole thing a few times. What do you find? If you are sitting or laying on you back with your knees apart (slightly, or a lot) the elevator up part tends to pull your thighs together. Try it sitting down with your legs crossed. It tends to make you squeeze your thighs together even more firmly, right? Thigh muscles are big and long and strong. This is why you find that at climax your legs tend to need to close. They tense (and shorten). When you're about to climax and feel that tingling, tightenning and tensing start to really kick in, just go with it. Don't try to control it at all. When you're with a partner let your thigh muscles clench (trying to close your legs) and release, which will make your legs squeeze against/around him. I reckon that's the key. You sound like you are reaching your climax (a guy performing oral well is a very good way to reach climax for many women, even more likely than during full sex). You've done all the 'hard work' as you might say, so just let go, roll with the flow and enjoy the sensation of your orgasm. The tensing and tighteninig and feeling of a 'loss of control' are all part of why it feels so good. You don't have to 'do anything' more at the point you're reaching. You're there. Just let your body do it's thing to fully enjoy and enhance and extend the experience mate! The physical, and the emotional side we talked about, come together of course. All part of your orgasm. Have fun! [ rainhorse68's advice column | Ask rainhorse68 A Question ]
teehigh answered Saturday November 14 2015, 9:46 am: It sounds like you are about to orgasm. The wanting to close your legs could either be that he is pushing too hard with his tongue and its too many sensations at once or you are pulling back in the moment out of fear. The trick is to relax into it and let the sensations run all over your body. If you think he is being a little rough then let him know to be more gentle. I hope this helps.

Ladylala answered Thursday November 12 2015, 4:41 am: Yes you're about to orgasm and feel overwhelmed. Nex t time just relax and lay back and try to stay calm. I know when I'm about to orgasm I open and close my legs. Doesn't mean anything's wrong just means he's hitting (licking) the right area [ Ladylala's advice column | Ask Ladylala A Question ]
Ocalaphernella answered Saturday November 7 2015, 10:05 pm: When most girls orgasm their body try's to fight it and hold it back. Kind of like slowly giving in. Guys just let go and that's a reason why they orgasm easier than girls. Could be something to do with being somewhat "lady-like" or something, but theyre losing control of their body. But girls' bodies just want to hold back but eventually give it in.
Hope this helps! [ Ocalaphernella's advice column | Ask Ocalaphernella A Question ]
Kori_Rice answered Saturday November 7 2015, 1:53 pm: You are reacting to the pleasure in involuntary convulsions of your vaginal muscles which causes you to orgasm and maybe even ejaculate. Many people believe that the female orgasm is a myth but it is very real. I am only 14 but I read a lot! Thank you for coming to me with your question.

tigershark answered Friday November 6 2015, 1:09 pm: Yup its pretty much what you thinking. As in some cases girls reach a climax while getting their butt muscles tight and bringing legs close is one of the way to tighten you butt muscles. Some girls do point their toes as well or by pressing their pelvis slightly up. All that matters is how you tighten up your butt muscles and you might be finding it easy by bringing legs together. Its a sign that you are about to orgasm. [ tigershark's advice column | Ask tigershark A Question ]
