Are Numbness In Hands During Orgasm Normal?

my partner and I have been getting to know each other sexually and the last time they had an orgasm, their hands went completely numb for a minute or two. It didn t seem to be too concerning and if this is normal I am really more curious as to what caused this if it s anything more than blood being drawn to genetalia as priority over other parts of the body?

Hello and welcome.

Blood is drawn towards the genitalia but this is only a small amount as genitalia itself cannot store a large amount of blood. I would recommend a blood coagulation profile, check on chronic conditions that can present in such a way like diabetes, and other conditions similarly.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
