Why do some people stick their tongue out when they orgasm?

Good question but I haven't the slightest idea why abtobe would stick out their tongue when orgasming.

"What we've found is what people mean is they [stick out their tongue] when they are doing something delicate that requires fine motor activation of their hands."

One theory for why this happens is called motor overflow. Neuroimaging reveals that the region of the brain devoted to language (located in the inferior frontal gyrus) is highly overlapping with neural networks  Motor overflow suggests that neurons firing in the dexterity region are so activated that they overflow into neighboring neural tissue (which happens to direct the mouth). Therefore, when you're deeply focused on a fine-motor task, the effect "spills over" into the language region, causing you to engage your mouth and tongue. The hands and the tongue are the "only fine articulators on our bodies and are controlled by overlapping bits of our brain"
