"I love laughing, but I hated my laughing orgasms. They made me feel like such a weirdo. Every time I had one, I felt embarrassed.

[...]

"Reading about those made me reconsider what a normal orgasm is. Even though we have a lot of access to porn, most of us only get to witness a handful of people having an orgasm. So, it's easy not to realize that there's no such thing as a normal orgasm and that your own weird reaction to intense peaks of pleasure is just as fine as anyone else's.

[...]

"I had already made peace with my laughing orgasms. But learning that I only laughed after some of my best and strongest climaxes made me love them.

"Why I Decided to Share My Laughing Orgasm

"As far as I can tell, there isn't a lot of research on laughing orgasms, apart from a few case studies. So, there's no clear answer about why they happen.

[...]

"Because there isn't much research on these types of orgasm, I have no idea how many people experience them. But I know they're out there. That's why I wanted to do something to normalize laughing orgasms, so other orgasmic weirdos like myself wouldn't feel so bad about their predicament."

[Interesting essay I stumbled across while looking for something rather different from this. Laughing, as one of many possible responses to / effects of orgasm, makes sense to me (and is something I find sexy) ... Her description of originally thinking it made her weird, and later in the essay writing, "I wished I had been exposed to this before. I wouldn’t have felt like such a freak if I had seen or heard — or even heard of — other people having laughing orgasms. If it was just a Google search away, I would’ve been able to embrace mine a lot sooner,", made me think her essay is something I should boost. It's about five pages. Enjoy.]
