Types of Male Orgasms

You Know You’re Having an Orgasm when

On average, an orgasm lasts for only three to eight seconds, and is often accompanied by complex physical and mental reactions: involuntary muscle contractions, an accumulation of blood in the genital area, increased heart rate and breathing, a sense of euphoria, exhaustion, cries for help, and even marriage proposals.

Types of male orgasms

We’ve explored the many ways men can climax. Most people are familiar with a standard ejaculation during sex or while masturbating, but there are other options to try – some of which could intensify your experience.

Get comfortable and settle in for some educational fun that could boost your orgasm game with pleasure.

Ejaculatory or ‘standard’ orgasm

You’ll be familiar with this one. The ejaculatory orgasm can happen during both sex and masturbation, and is essentially the bog-standard climax that most men know and love. But have you ever wondered what actually happens in the penis when a man comes? When a man is stimulated physically or psychologically, you gets an erection.

Blood flows into the corpora – the spongy tissue running the length of the penis – causing the penis to grow in size and become rigid. The testicles are drawn up toward the body as the scrotum tightens.

‘Semen – a mixture of sperm (5%) and fluid (95%) – is forced into the urethra by a series of contractions of the pelvic floor muscles and prostate gland and then leaves the penis in a process called ejaculation.’

Blended Orgasm or whole body orgasm

It’s not as difficult as you might imagine. A blended orgasm is essentially when you climax while several areas of your body are being stimulated simultaneously.

For instance, if your partner is playing with your nipples, clitoris or G-spot all at once and you orgasm as a result, but are unsure which area is responsible for the delicious feeling. They can occur when you’re in the middle of fast-paced sex, or when you’re slowly building up to the main event.

This is a great way to get loads of erogenous zones lighting up all at once.

Wet Dream orgasm

There is a myth that wet dreams only happen to teenage boys during puberty. While this is usually the case, adults – can have them too. The dream does not need to be erotic for this to happen (only 8% of dreams feature sexual content) so don’t be alarmed if you wake up in a small puddle of sperm after having a dream about running through a field, dressed as a flamingo.

Multiple Orgasms

There are two types of multiple orgasms and not all men have had them. The first version is where you climax, take a break – to hydrate, most likely – and then do it again. However, if your tank is dry, you might find that you orgasm without a release of semen, which is completely normal.

The second variation is the holy grail of orgasms, as they just keep on coming with no resting period required. ‘If you’re hungry for more, try sequential style first.‘Orgasm, then take a 30-minute to rest (known as the refactory period when the male body recovers post-orgasm, this time lapse increases as men get older) and enjoy the extra oxytocin (known as the love hormone, it is secreted during sex) flooding the brain.

Pelvic orgasm

To achieve a pelvic orgasm, you’ll need to work for it. This can be done through a method known as edging, where you bring yourself to the, well, edge and then stop. The aim is two-fold; to gain better control of your orgasms and to increase the intensity for when you finally do decide to let go.

Prostate orgasm

Men also have a G-spot that can be stimulated for extra pleasure – but where is it and how should you play with it? The male G-spot is the prostate gland, also known as the P-spot. This pleasurable point is a small walnut-sized gland that is accessed through the anus.

It sits inside the body at the base of the bladder and can be easily stimulated by a partner with a lubed index finger or P-spot toy. It is ultra-sensitive and men can orgasm through it being rubbed gently. Prostate stimulators have been developed specifically for prostate pleasure.
