Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Please ask again: What? There are a number of type of contractions, such as how the colon moves stool through to the anus or how the clitoris or penis stimulation with orgasm. Uterine contractions when in labor are felt by pregnant females only.
