If you read the studies on how men feel when they orgasm, you'll find that they experience symptoms such as increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, and shortness of breath. But hearing someone with a penis explain what sex feels like in their own words will make you experience the experience in a whole new way.
Although the physical signs of orgasm may vary from person to person , that doesn't mean they're all the same. For example, you might not know that people with penises can orgasm without ejaculating. While it's impossible for people with penises to have multiple ejaculatory orgasms without a refractory period, they can still have multiple ejaculatory orgasms.
There are generally four steps to ejaculation during male orgasm. They include arousal, plateau, climax, resolution and refraction. During sexual arousal, blood flows into the penis at 50 times the normal rate, which (you guessed it) causes an erection. During the plateau, which lasts only 30 seconds to two minutes, a person's heartbeat begins to speed up, essentially in preparation for orgasm. In case you're wondering, as Everyday Health explains, the reason an orgasm feels so good is because the nerves that cause the muscles to contract tell the brain that it's experiencing pleasure.
But when it comes to how an orgasm feels, "good" only scratches the surface, according to a study on how sex affects brain rhythms published in Social Affective Neuroscience & Psychology . "Sex is a source of pleasurable sensations and emotional connection, but beyond that, it's actually an altered state of consciousness," says "What is an Orgasm?" A model for achieving sexual trance and orgasm through rhythmic traction," told Science Daily. "I did not expect to find that sexual activity is so similar to music and dance, not only in the nature of the experience, but also in the evolution of the ability to maintain rhythm Can serve as a fitness test for potential mates. "
Some researchers claim that everyone's orgasm experience is pretty much the same, but it's important to remember that people have different needs, expectations, and behaviors before they hit the big O. To find out the truth about the male orgasm, we went straight to the mouths of some people with penises.
Read on to find out how these 10 guys really feel about male orgasm—from the weird fantasies they experience before they climax, to what they do after a nap, and how they feel like they might die before they climax. Exceed.
1. Male orgasm is like an explosion lasting 3-5 seconds
For 26-year-old Bob, orgasm can happen quickly or it can take a while to achieve. "Depending on the situation, it's either a slow build-up or a quick build-up and then a crazy explosion that lasts three to five seconds," he tells Bustle. But afterthoughts started to set in. "Then you either feel shame or you feel like 'yeah, okay, I totally had sex', followed immediately by the need to take a nap."
2. Male orgasm feels like itching
When 25-year-old Eric arrived, it was like a gunshot. "The male orgasm feels like the onset of an urgent need while it's being satisfied, in slow motion," he tells Bustle. Like a ravenous, heartbreaking thirst, like a waterfall starting to rush down on you from above. It's like an itch creeping up from every corner of your body until you desperately wish it would stop and last forever, as if a squeegee is scraping your limbs. Like a gunshot, shocking yet discreet, leaving you with shock, trembling steel and recoil. "
3. Arrival makes you feel both helpless and in control
Matt, 26, says the male orgasm is a full-body experience. "It's kind of beyond the purely physical sensation," he tells Bustle. "It's like your body and mind go numb, and in just a few seconds you feel strangely both helpless and completely in control, mentally empty, and your entire sense of touch rushing toward an exit."
4. Male orgasm is like a video game
For 26-year-old Mark, what happens when a man comes is really simple. "There's no need to explain the male orgasm in detail because there's no detailed information about it," Mark tells Bustle. “Your dick gets hard, like, ‘What’s up. I’m here to party…sometimes even before the party starts. Your dick gets hot (full party mode) and then feel it It's going to explode, like a power-up in a video game."
5. It’s a “robot nation”
For Jason, 30, orgasm is a mind game. "It's like you're wandering around in this robotic state," Jason told Buster. "My mind starts thinking about all these weird fantasies, and once I'm done, it all becomes clear again. Everything makes sense after a few seconds. It's hard to explain."
6. Orgasm is a vulnerable experience
Allen, 27, says being inside someone is a more intense orgasm than masturbating. "First of all, male orgasm during sex is very different from male orgasm during masturbation," Allen tells Bustle. "When I masturbate, it's just a means to an end. But when I'm actually inside someone, it's like you're transferring that orgasm to someone else -- when you're actually inside another person, it's Nothing makes me feel more vulnerable than that."
7. Male orgasm is better with edging
Peter, 23, is passionate about masturbating to control his orgasms. "Male orgasms are most intense when you're trying to hold on for as long as possible," Peter tells Bustle. "It's still great if you let go when you feel like you're getting there. But being on the edge and holding back just to hold on longer creates this really powerful buildup that's totally worth the self-control it takes to get there."
8. Male orgasms are short and sweet
Jesse, 26, has been recording his partner's orgasms for comparison. "I noticed that my girlfriend's orgasms were definitely longer," Jesse tells Bustle. "If we're lucky, we really only have a few seconds. A quick burst; maybe three to five seconds tops. Don't get me wrong, they feel great, but I have a feeling you ladies are doing it orgasm-wise Better."
9. Stress builds and subsides
At 22 years old, Kyle became dedicated to a science. "The pressure builds until you can't take it anymore," Kyle tells Bustle. "You cross a threshold when you know that once you release, you're done. What follows is pressure building and falling, but each time the pressure builds, you release more (which is why ejaculation doesn't come in one squirt) out, but spray out at steady intervals).
10. Male orgasm relieves stress
For 22-year-old Stephen, male orgasm feels like peeing. "It starts with a surge of pressure deep inside. The contractions intensify, and when you start ejaculating, it feels like the best pee you've ever had," Steph tells Bustle. But in a good way of course. "It's like the greatest relief ever. Throughout this whole process, all you want to do is hold on to the people you're doing it with, hold on to them and hold on to them and hold on for dear life, because sometimes you're pretty sure you will die."
