10 Fascinating Facts About the Male Orgasm

 

They say a woman heats up like an iron and a man burns up like a match. The way we get turned on and the time it takes may be different, but when it comes to orgasmic pleasure, are the feelings the same for men?
Female orgasms vary in type and strength from woman to woman, yet it tends to be a full-body experience. From the first tickle of excitement to the wave of pleasure that washes through you, a strong orgasm can rock your world.
Have you ever wondered what goes on in your partner's body during orgasm? Is it the same for him, or is it totally different? Does he feel as much pleasure…or more? Does he just feel it below the belt or does it tingle all over? Read on to learn ten facts about male orgasm.

Orgasm and Ejaculation

Many people wrongly believe that orgasm and ejaculation occur at the same time. Not always. In fact, some men don't ejaculate until several seconds after orgasm. And some men who are physically unable to ejaculate might find that they are still able to have orgasms.

Ejaculatory Inevitability

This phrase was created by noted sex researchers Masters and Johnson, and it suggests that, for most men, orgasm is inevitable after a certain amount of stimulation occurs. In their research, it was found that 75 percent of men reach orgasm after two minutes or less of masturbation.

Unequal Orgasm

Following on the heels of the Masters and Johnson research, a study from the University of Chicago found that 75 percent of men reach orgasm consistently in their sex lives, while just 50 percent of women could say the same.

Shorter Orgasms

Although men might be more likely to reach orgasm during intercourse, their orgasms tend to be shorter.

Multiple Orgasms

Though multiple orgasms are generally associated with the female sexual experience, 15 percent to 20 percent of men reported enjoying them when surveyed in the famous Kinsey reports. Learning how to have multiple orgasms takes a bit of effort, and in addition, these are non-ejaculatory orgasms (not your typical orgasm). However, men have been practicing the art of multiple orgasms for thousands of years with the help of tantra and other techniques, so have him give it a go if he's so inclined!

One Minute to an Hour

According to Masters and Johnson, a man's refractory period (the time in which he needs to rest before achieving another orgasm) can last anywhere from one minute to an hour. Much of it depends on age, physical fitness, and a healthy lifestyle, so if your guy wants to have longevity and a quick recovery period, he should eat healthy and stay fit!

Premature Ejaculation

How short is too short, and how long is too long? When it comes to sexual pleasure, everyone has different preferences. What seems "too short" to one couple might be perfectly acceptable to another. However, most people define premature ejaculation, (which I like to call "early ejaculation") as sex that lasts two minutes or less. Personally, I prefer to define it as sex that ends before both partners would like it to.

The Male G-Spot

Just as women can reach orgasm through G-spot stimulation, so can men! However, their G-spot is located about two inches inside the anus and feels like a small chestnut-sized bump. Stimulation of this area can create very intense and pleasurable orgasms.

Men Are Mystified by the Female Orgasm

Just as you can be confused by your partner's orgasm, your partner feels the same about yours. In fact, a recent study from Indiana University's Center for Sexual Health Promotion found that while only 64 percent of women reached orgasm during their last sexual experience, 85 percent of men believed that they gave their partner an orgasm.


The Average Session

Don't worry about achieving a crazy long sex session. According to Kinsey's research, about 75 percent of men reach orgasm in less than two minutes in half of all their sex sessions, while other studies show that couples prefer sex sessions that last around seven minutes.
