The Anatomy of the Male Orgasm

So why write about the male orgasm? Well, quite simply, the male orgasm has been, is, and will continue to be a primary driving force behind many of the things, both good and bad, that happen in the world. The average male is obsessed with sex...literally addicted to it, and the pursuit of it (or the diverted energies meant for the pursuit thereof) is an extremely powerful engine that drives the majority of males. The male drive for warfare, competitive sports, the predominantly male crime of rape, the predominantly male crime of pedophilia, the male lust for power, all stem from the sex drive of males. And while the orgasm is not the sum total of sex for males, it is certainly the culmination…

 The Truth About Male Orgasms

When students come to me searching to improve their sex lives, it’s not long before the conversation turns to that Holy Grail of sexuality, the ever elusive multiple male orgasm. For many guys, it is all they seek, like a hidden treasure unfairly stolen or denied them. It appears to be something other guys can do, and it drives men crazy to be considered a one pop shop. My immediate response is to remind them that every orgasm is special. I always say that I gift myself an orgasm rather than give myself one or use the extremely common but desultory phrase “have an orgasm.” You have a penis, but it’s what you do with it that is the gift. It bears reminding how lucky we are that just by rubbing our penises long enough we produce feelings of such bliss that transcend our bodies, the pursuit of which has also forged history as we know it.

Normal male sexual function: emphasis on orgasm and ejaculation

Orgasm and ejaculation are two separate physiological processes that are sometimes difficult to distinguish. Orgasm is an intense transient peak sensation of intense pleasure creating an altered state of consciousness associated with reported physical changes. Antegrade ejaculation is a complex physiological process that is composed of two phases (emission and expulsion), and is influenced by intricate neurological and hormonal pathways. Despite the many published research projects dealing with the physiology of orgasm and ejaculation, much about this topic is still unknown.

Getting too excited can stop men from orgasming – but there’s a solution

While sexual responses in women are less understood, the Masters-Johnson sexual response cycle for men has stood the test of time and is still the best representation of the stages men go through when having sex. Data collected by later studies showed that female sexual responses are more diverse and don’t follow the linear progression of excitement-plateau-orgasm-resolution of the Masters-Johnson model.

How to improve upon the male orgasm

We don’t tend to think of the male orgasm as something that has “levels”, that it could be anything less than mind-blowing, do we? We either have them or we don’t but, most of the time, if we aim to have one, we do. Not that we discuss orgasms down the pub with our mates – maybe we should start, it’s certainly more entertaining than football – but you rarely hear a guy complaining he’s had a disappointing one. It’s almost as if the fact he's had one at all is enough. We thrust, we pant, we nut, we roll over and fall asleep.

Is This How All Men Orgasm?

If you ask me, there's a pretty accurate description in one of Philip Roth's novels.

More Orgasms, More Years of Life?

MEN who have more orgasms seem to live longer, a statistical study of Welsh villagers in The British Medical Journal has found. It is one of the rare studies of sex and death, and the authors lightheartedly suggested in the article on Saturday that the findings might result in new kinds of promotional campaigns for healthy living.

Some Men Get Sick for a Week Every Time They Orgasm

How do you feel after you have an orgasm? If you’re like most people, you probably feel pretty damn good. But what if that weren’t the case? Imagine for a second what it would be like if, instead of feeling great, you started feeling sick. Let’s also imagine that these sick feelings were to stick around for up to a full week afterwards. Sex suddenly doesn’t sound like so much fun anymore, does it? Sadly, this is exactly what happens to some men almost every time they have an orgasm, a condition known as post-orgasmic illness syndrome (or POIS).

The Male Orgasm: Everything You Need to Know

If you're a man, there's a high likelihood you're fairly familiar with it as well - at least the standard affair involving your penis, a bit of stimulation, and finally an ejaculation. But how familiar are you with the prostate orgasm? Have you ever experienced the intensity of a blended, or whole body orgasm? What about the phases of arousal - did you know there is what's known as a 'sexual response cycle' consisting of four steps?

The Men Who Fake Orgasms

I always thought I would want to have a talk with my daughter about the importance of communication in relationships, and speaking up for your sexual needs, and not faking orgasms, and now I understand I’m going to need to have the same talk with my son. Women historically get all the glory as the orgasm fakers...

There are six different types of male orgasm, yes really

If you thought that men can only orgasm by ejaculating, well, you’d be sorely mistaken. Guys can actually experience six different types of orgasm. That’s right, it’s not just female pleasure that can feel complex and multifaceted. There’s a whole world of orgasmic sexual pleasure for men that can be unlocked.

What’s Happened to the Male Orgasm?

My friend and I chatted for a while about all this, about men not coming as much as they used to, and why that might be. Or we did, until I pointed out that we were being hypocritical. Both of us have complained in the past about how men are really set on making you come.

What’s Happened to the Male Orgasm?

I was in the park with a friend of mine who was telling me about the sex she’d had at a festival the weekend before. “He came as well, actually,” she added at the end of the story. “Oh, nice,” I said, and then I laughed because I couldn’t remember when it became a thing to comment on men coming. But then, maybe men finishing is less of a given than it used to be. At least, it seems to be.

Why are men having more orgasms than women in heterosexual relationships?

Sex researchers consistently find that men are having far more orgasms than women when it comes to heterosexual sexual encounters. This is called the gender gap in orgasms, or the orgasm gap. There are many myths and assumptions about why women orgasm less. Some of the more popular ones are that women take too much time to reach orgasm, women don’t actually care about having an orgasm, that getting a woman to orgasm takes more work and they’re harder to please.

Why Don’t Men Have Multiple Orgasms?

The average duration of heterosexual human intercourse is three to thirteen minutes, usually ending when the male ejaculates and becomes lethargic. Other species do not spend even this much time. Lions average less than one minute. Marmosets ejaculate within five seconds of penetration. If you talk to marmosets, they say all the better to get back to hunting and protecting their families from predatory birds.

Why is it easier for men to reach the big O?

Centuries ago, enjoying too much sex was seen as a sin of which women were the enticers. It’s pathed the way for a male-orientated approach to the pleasure of sex. Although progress has been made when it comes to understanding female sexual pleasure, echoes of a male-dominated mentality remain. This may explain - at least in part - the orgasm gap. We still don’t have answers, but we do have some clues as to why men reach orgasm easier than women.
