Men’s Orgasms
Last week I wrote about women’s orgasms so I figured it was only fitting that I address men’s. While researching even I learned a few things 🙂
First a little medical stuff. A typical orgasm has three phases to it: emission, expulsion and orgasm.
Emission
Semen enters the posterior urethra. Your urethral sphincter then tightens to close your bladder’s neck, so your cum doesn’t flow back into your bladder. While this is not generally life-threatening it can cause problems, especially if fertility is an issue. How do you know when this happens? A dry orgasm is one indicator.
Have you ever been in the middle of things and you think you’ve got it under control but then all of a sudden ejaculation happens and you don’t seem to have been able to control it? Well, that’s because you couldn’t. During emission, your ejaculation moves by involuntary muscle contractions, not under your control.
The sympathetic nervous system (which connects internal organs to the brain) also participates in this stage of orgasm. Which leads us to expulsion.
Expulsion
Your seminal fluid travels from the posterior urethra to the anterior urethra. Once you get to the expulsion phase, there’s no point of return. You’re in for the ride and are soon to have your orgasm.
You’ll experience muscle contractions on your pelvic floor, which increase pressure in your urethra, leading to the release of semen.
Orgasm
You finally get that big O you’ve been waiting for in the final phase. While the orgasm is pleasurable, it is pretty short.
Your orgasm is a neurological process caused by physical sensations and contractions in your penis, seminal vesicles, prostate, vas deferens and Cowper’s glands.
Orgasm vs. Ejaculation
You may think ejaculation and orgasm are the same, but they’re distinctly different.
An orgasm is the peak of intense pleasure that alters your consciousness and may cause physical changes. Orgasms can also cause hyperventilation, increased heart rate and high blood pressure.
In addition, orgasms can cause more powerful and pleasurable muscle contractions on your pelvic floor.
Ejaculation is more of a physiological experience than an orgasm involving the autonomic nervous system.
Several neurotransmitters and hormones are triggered before or after ejaculation, such as:
A healthy diet and keeping these hormones and neurotransmitters in balance is important for a healthy sex life and strong orgasms.

Most Common Types of Male Orgasms
Here are some of the most common male orgasms. Even if you’ve experienced a few, there’s probably more out there than you think.
Ejaculatory Orgasm
This is considered the typical male orgasm. With an ejaculatory orgasm, your pelvic or penile muscles contract to release semen, giving you that much needed and wanted release.
Pelvic Orgasm
This type of orgasm is achieved by edging, which can be a solo act or involve a partner.
You’ll stimulate yourself until you reach the edge of a climax, but you won’t cross the finish line yet. You’ll get as close to an orgasm as possible before stopping, letting yourself calm down, then repeating the process.
This stimulation technique can make pelvic orgasms more intense and pleasurable. Don’t be surprised if you don’t time it right at the beginning. Practice, practice, practice. 🙂
Prostate Orgasm
Prostate orgasms involve hitting the p-spot (the prostate gland) located right under your bladder in your anus. This is considered the male version of the G-spot. Much of your semen from ejaculation is produced in the prostate.
You or a partner can massage your prostate from the inside or outside of your anus with a penis, a hand or toys designed for prostate massages.
What makes prostate orgasms unique is that there’s no need to stimulate the penis to climax.
Blended Orgasm
A blended orgasm is a combination of different orgasms occurring at the same time.
You may achieve this type of orgasm with a mix of penile and prostate play, leading to a full-body orgasm stimulated by the nerves connected to your pelvic floor muscles and spinal cord.
Though you have to get the timing right for a blended orgasm to work, trial and error is worth it for mind-blowing pleasure.
With a background in holistic nutrition, you had to know I’d get into the Nutritional/health stuff…
Health Benefits of Orgasms
Sex and orgasms are great, especially when there are so many health benefits, such as:
And some challenges …..
Erectile Dysfunction
One of the most common male orgasm issues is erectile dysfunction (ED). ED can involve trouble keeping or getting an erection and can coincide with a lowered sexual desire, premature ejaculation or other types of sexual dysfunction.
Risk factors for erectile dysfunction include:
Premature Ejaculation
The potential causes of premature ejaculation are:
Delayed Ejaculation
Delayed ejaculation occurs when it takes too long or too much effort to achieve an orgasm.
Possible causes of delayed ejaculation include:
