The male orgasm is something that isn’t really talked about. Most places will talk about the female orgasm more than the male one. Men can have an orgasm as soon as they hit puberty, most people know this. Boys will often have a ‘wet dream’ which is when they have an orgasm during their dreams. Orgasms are actually quite complicated processes. The majority of people assume that an orgasm is reached when the man ejaculates, however this isn’t the case, ejaculation does not signify orgasm for all men. There are men who will orgasm but not ejaculate. This is very much the case when it comes to adolescent boys, they can often have an orgasm without ejaculating.
While some men actually ejaculate a few short minutes after having an orgasm. Even men who can not ejaculate could actually reach orgasm. For a man, an orgasm can affect both their physical and mental aspects. Orgasms are different for different men, one man may feel it spreading to parts of their body while another may only feel it in their scrotum. When a man reaches orgasm during sex, he will thrust with less control. This is because his penis will succumb to contractions. When a male reaches orgasm his heart rate, respiration and blood pressure increases.
When it comes to sex the male orgasm is one of the most unknown aspects of mens sexual actions. It is only recently we have begun to understand it more. For many years it was surrounded by superstitions, myths and simple ignorance. The fact most people assume ejaculating and orgasm are the same is testament to this. You probably thought this as well. What an orgasm is can be defined as a ‘peak of sensation’, this peak starts in the brain but will usually be felt in the genitalia and followed with contractions in certain muscles that feels good.
Orgasms for both men and women are made up of quite complicated neurological impulses. They need the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems in order to happen. These systems are involved in both the arousal state (parasympathetic) and orgasmic state (sympathetic).
Not that you will likely understand what that means unless you are a neurologist! To say it in terms most people would understand… As you know the brain is accountable for running your body. Everything your body does to keep you alive is controlled by the brain. Your body has nerves running throughout it, it is with your nerves that the brain is in contact with the rest of your body, from your heart to your glands. These nerves are lead to your organs and muscles etc. via your spinal column. The spinal cord is made up of materials like your brain, and is the origins of these nerves. The brain can then control all aspects of your body through these nerves, think of nerves like cables and the brain as a computer.
The brain communicates by sending impulses down the nerves, there are two kinds of impulses that are sent and these are called Parasympathetic and Sympathetic. You may have heard of the ‘fight of flight’ impulse you get when your body senses danger, this impulse comes from a sympathetic impulse, it basically speeds things up in your body so you can react while the parasympathetic impulses are accountable for slowing things down, such as organ functions. As you rest and sleep during the evening your Parasympathetic nervous system is working at 100%. If you get yourself into a fight or an accident then your sympathetic nervous system will be working at 100%.
So now you understand what those two things are, lets look at how an orgasm works. As mentioned an orgasm uses both the Parasympathetic and Sympathetic aspects of your nervous system. Which means in essence an orgasm can be seen a a reflex of the spinal cord. So why is this important? It is important because it makes clear that an orgasm is an unconscious decision, created by physical stimulation. Not that that explains a great deal. Compare it to when you visit the doctor and it hits your knee with that small hammer they have, and your leg jerks forwards without any control from you. An orgasm is just like this, it is something you have no control over that is caused by physical stimulation, it is a reflex.
Now this is where the puzzle starts… With psychogenic stimulation people who suffer from damaged spinal cords, due to wounds or lesions, can achieve orgasms, even though this means the brain shouldn’t be able to communicate with that area. If you don’t understand what psychogenic stimulation is, it is simply stimulating the mind.
Orgasms are not much discussed as a whole, magazines or other literature will usually focus more on erection issues or a mans ability to have children. Because of this lack of information it is our aim to answer the thirteen most asked questions about a mans orgasm within this article.
One – Does ejaculation = orgasm and vice versa? An orgasm is what a man feels while ejaculating. They can range from boring to totally insane. Boring orgasms are usually ejaculation that isn’t accompanied by an orgasm. Orgasming without ejaculating is something difficult to picture. Unless you are a sex God who just finished having sex 7 times one after the other and literally has nothing left in the tank.
Two – What is a normal amount of orgasms to have one after the other? Most of the people you hear say had orgasmed and carried on having sex immediately are usually lying. Before you hit 25 you can usually carry on having sex after a short 3 minute break at the least, the amount of time you have to wait to carry on will go up the older you get. For somebody with a partner who regularly has sex a single orgasm will often be enough to placate them, if you haven’t had sex in a while and are with a new partner then perhaps 2-3 can be reached, however the time between these orgasms will increase with age. To be frank, the man or the women doesn’t actually need any more than that anyway. If you hear somebody say any different they will likely be lying.
Three – Are some men unable to have an orgasm during sex? The short answer: yes. This can occur for a number of reasons, the man could be recovering from surgery or injury around that area of there could be something wrong with the cerebral cortex. ‘Retrograde ejaculation’ is the name given to the affliction in which sperm is not ejaculated out but instead remains within the urinary bladder, this can be caused by several diseases that affect the cerebral cortex or even the spine. It may seem that no sperm was created, however when tests are done to the urine it reveals sperm. There are no issues with erections that accompany such diseases.
Four – What is ‘accelerated ejaculation’? This term isn’t recognized in modern sexology at all. However it is involved in couple’s discord instead. The fact is the man can climax within 10 minutes or an hour. It doesn’t matter as long as both the male and female are satisfied by the end. A fast ejaculation is in fact a psychological issue rather than physical. Around 80% of men suffering from such issues are overcome with nothing more than a conversation.
Five – Will holding off on ejaculation for days with tantric sex increase your lifespan and fill you with sexual energy? Artificially extending sex can be dangerous, particularly with men over the age of 40, the blood pressure is raised and so are the levels of hormones in the system, it can also tax you psychologically and physically. It is best not to see sex as a chore, or a habit. In fact sex should merely be seen as pleasurable and used for relaxation (as well as making babies).
Six – Will being circumcised alter a mans orgasm? The lack of a foreskin decreases the sensitivity of the head of the penis. This means sex will last for a longer amount of time.
Seven – Can the male orgasm be changed depending upon position, like a womans? It can be affected to a certain level, although not similarly to the female orgasm. With women the orgasm is altered depending upon position because different areas will be stimulated, which will make a difference. With men however the position is only important as far as how it affects how the man can view his lover. Men love with their eyes, this is a fact. For this reason the doggy position is so popular, men like the view.
Eight – How can the intensity of the ejaculation be changed? Sperm will often shoot out at a great speed. Other times it will just flow out like emptying a glass. Usually it is the first ejaculation that will shoot out. After this it will be more likely to just flow out. When sperm rushes out quickly this is a good indication that all of your man parts are working properly. When the first ejaculation doesn’t move out quickly it is a sign that the sperm is too thick. This can occur due to long periods without sex, being ill with a cold, having an infection or even an indication of prostatitis, if you are affected by this you should certainly see a medical professional. Sperm doesn’t get worse the older you get, so don’t ignore this issue and merely think it is down to age.
Nine – Should you orgasm every time you have sex? Most people know that women don’t orgasm every time they have sex. This isn’t an issue and shouldn’t be viewed as such. It can also apply to men. A mane is capable of helping a women to climax and not continuing, even if he hasn’t also. The only time this should be a concern is if over 50% of sex for a man doesn’t end in climax.
Ten – What happens if a man doesn’t ejaculate for some time? Prostatitis and other types of inflammatory issues are the usual effect of long periods without ejaculation. If you do not have a very active lifestyle and are also abstinent, the pelvis suffers. Julius Caesar, the roman ruler, used to have two women waiting to please him orally after he sat on the throne for long periods of time. There is nothing wrong with masturbating if you haven’t had a partner for a while.
Eleven – Is it normal to ejaculate outside of sex? If you merely look at an arousing picture and climax this could be an issue. This isn’t termed ejaculation. Instead it is termed ‘spermatorrhoea’ and is due to the muscle surrounding the prostate gland being overly fat. It is one of the later stages of prostatitis.
Twelve – Do men find it easier to climax through oral sex rather than traditional sex? In regards to this question it completely comes down to what the individual man prefers. It is important to note however that male anorgasmia can be caused by oral sex in the mornings. With this in mind you should remember a few things hygienically. Overnight bacteria builds up that causes teeth cavities and over things. If such bacteria find their way into the mans urinary ducts they can result in a number of inflammatory afflictions. It is a good rule of thumb to make sure the teeth are brushed before any form of oral sex.
Thirteen – Will a mans sperm taste different depending upon the food they eat? This is true, sweets and fruit will cause the sperm to taste bitter. While as you can expect garlic is terrible for the smell and taste of sperm. If the man is suffering from inflammatory diseases they will have sperm that tastes stale and bitter. So if your partner has sperm that tastes bad it is best to tell him instead of being embarrassed about it.
Penis enlargement isn’t as important as enhancing orgasms when it comes to improving the sex life for males.
How much pleasure a man has during an orgasm is directly related to how much the ejaculate and the intensity of that ejaculation. So if a man produces more sperm it means they are having more pleasure as well. An orgasm is the final act of sex for a man. Think of it as the sweet at the end of a meal. It really is why a man takes part in sex, to reach orgasm at the end. So it makes sense that as a man you want to make your orgasm as intense and pleasurable as possible.
There is also the fact that a women will view men who produce large volumes of sperm as the most fertile. If a man only dribbles a small amount it will usually be a disappointment for women. They often take offense because they feel it is due to them and how attractive the man finds them. A women feels as though the man finds them incredibly attractive when they produce large amounts of seaman and orgasm with a lot of intensity.
This is because of the nature of sex. Sex is all about procreating, at least it was originally. Small ejaculations make a women feel that the man will not be particularly fertile and able to produce kids because the less sperm means the less chance of the egg being fertilized. She therefore thinks he is not potent enough for her.
This is why increasing how strongly you ejaculate is just as important as increasing the size of your penis. Medical studies prove that women are attracted to men with large sperm counts as opposed to those with lesser.
Drinking more water will increase how much you produce when you ejaculate. Increasing the intake of zinc into your diet is also important. Sperm and seminal fluid rely largely on zinc for their health and creation.
