The male orgasm
is a complex experience. The major function of the male orgasm
is the ejaculation of sperm, though not all men ejaculate with
orgasm. The function of the female orgasm is less clear although
it may help to move the sperm toward the ovum (egg).
In the 1950s
Robert Kinsey, the first scientist to study human sexuality in
any detail, described the orgasm as, "an explosive discharge of
neuromuscular tension!" There is still a lot about the male
orgasm that is not entirely understood.
Ejaculation
and the Male Orgasm
As noted above, it is possible to have a male orgasm without
ejaculation.
-
Pre-adolescent boys may experience an orgasm without
ejaculation.
-
Some men do
not have an ejaculation until several seconds after orgasm.
-
Some men,
who are incapable of ejaculation, are still capable of
orgasm.
-
Some men,
may experience several ejaculations and go on to have
further orgasms, but without ejaculation.
Physical
Experience of the Male orgasm
The male orgasm seems to have psychological as well as a
physical effects. Some men describe a focal experience, feeling
the orgasm exclusively in the scrotum and the genital area.
Other men report their orgasm as a sensation that spreads to
some parts of the body. Other men state that their orgasms are
felt throughout their bodies. How much of the sensation of
orgasm is physical and how much psychological is difficult to
judge.
What Happens
During the Male Orgasm?
During intercourse, as a man nears orgasm, his pelvic thrusts
become less voluntary and muscles of the penis begin to contract
rhythmically in order to eject semen from the urethra. When an
orgasm begins, heart rate, blood pressure and respiration all
increase.
Some
Differences Between Male and Female Orgasms
Although similar in some ways, there are differences between the
male and female orgasm.
-
The female
orgasm has the effect of sucking sperm towards the egg(the
ovum) in the fallopian tube.
-
Women can
often experience an orgasm for a longer period of time than
a man.
-
In general,
women are more capable of rapidly returning to orgasm
following an initial orgasm.
Premature
Ejaculation
Ejaculation is sometimes felt to be disappointing if it happens
"too quickly" or before both sexual partners desire.
Male
Multiple Orgasms
Men report multiple orgasm more than women in the Kinsey report.
While 14% of women reported having multiple orgasms, 15-20% of
men did.
