How does the body have emotional responses to an orgasm when it is a series of muscle contractions?

The muscle contractions are only one aspect of an orgasm. 
There is also a release of hormones in the body that cause chemical changes in the

Hormones
that are released into the blood stream during
orgasm:


Endorphins - the body's natural pain killer.  One
of the most effective pain reliefs for a woman during her menstrual cycle is actually
intercourse.


Phenetylamine - curbs your appetite: have sex,

DHEA - a natural steroid that does a whole
bunch of wonderful things for your body like improving your skin, cardiovascular, and
immune system


Oxytocin (it's a neurotransmitter in the
brain) - effects thing such as bonding and trust formation
