What does a male orgasm feel like?

How can I compare it to female orgasm if I am a male?

No no… I was hoping to get both male and female answers to compare…

That’s why I asked females to contribute as well

Well, the clitoris is MUCH more sensitive than the penis, so maybe ours feels better? ;)

@stemnyjones Is it? I didn’t know that. Learned something new already!

What have you got to say to that, boys?

All I know is mine feel fucking great.

The anticipation when I know I’m close. Then I get the twitches and shakes, my toes curl and/or my back arches. All leading up to the tightening. Sometimes the pulsing after. It’s all great.

@Allie
See that’s what I’m wondering about male orgasms.. Is it like that pulsing, tightening etc

@naivete I’m not sure. I just kind of thought that whereas ours is a tightening/contracting feeling, theirs is a tightening/expanding feeling. Then just a release.
Feel free to jump in, guys.

From my scientific research (joke), I have found that a male orgasm is not much different from a woman’s. They have different levels of intensity, like we (females) have. Men have the throbbing, waves of pleasure just like females. The only difference is that we can have clitoral and vaginal orgasms, and men have the penis and anal orgasm (AKA, P-spot, prostate orgasm).

@Violet So do you think (based on your scientific research) that female orgasms are better or more intense? Or is it the same level of pleasure..

Have you ever had to wait a really, really, really long time to pee? Ya know the feeling when you finally do?

It’s like that x5.

Males tend to have far less intense orgasms than females. Save for multiple orgasms, which can be really quite intense. Unless you screw it up, in which case it feels like your balls are on fire.

@Sampson That’s a good way of saying it.

It’s like a really really fantastic relief. You know that feeling you get when a bone cracks that’s felt all constricted for ages? It’s like that, just much stronger.

@naivete I think they are basically the same. It is possible for women to have more extreme orgasms, with objects such as a detachable shower head set on blast, or some kind of powerful vibrator. I don’t know if the male orgasm can be manipulated like the female orgasm can.

@Sampson…. To me that’s more of a feeling of relief. If I multiplied that by 5, it would me a fantastic relief… But I don’t know about pleasure…Hm.

So relief equals pleasure…

Awesomeness. Seriously, it’s so awesome. I could describe it, but I’d feel really weird doing so.

Eh, well, let’s see what I can do. There’s definitely a tightening/pulsing feeling. I mean, the tightening is first, then the feeling just escalates like crazy and then there’s the pulsing feeling that goes on for a bit that starts after the “threshold” is crossed; after all, there are contractions going on that release the semen and what not. The feeling of the semen being released during the orgasm is definitely a major part of the male orgasm, which differentiates it from the female orgasm.

I can definitely agree with @Violet on the concept of “throbbing waves of pleasure”. But unless someone has had experience being both a man and a woman, I doubt you’re going to be able to determine which one is more pleasurable.

:P

(I did just spend the whole day with my boyfriend. We saw Wicked!)

I think @DominicX pretty much summed it all up : “unless someone has had experience being both a man and a woman, I doubt you’re going to be able to determine which one is more pleasurable”
We just don’t know for sure.

There are many different kinds. Masturbation is different from fucking is different from making love. An orgasm when you’ve had two or three already during the day is different from one where you haven’t had sex in a week. If it’s up to me, I’ll describe the one that happened most recently. It was from masturbation, and I hadn’t had an orgasm in a week or so. What the fuck. Probably tmi, but I was using internet porn (while imagining my baby in the starring role).

It’s not as if it happens all at once, like it looks like. I feel a slow build up. Since I’m using my fingers, it’s different from if someone were sucking me or I was fucking someone. I like to lightly touch my penis. The skin is sensitive and I start to feel this buildup of a feeling inside it. My penis gradually hardens, and that feeling (which is very cool—kind of like the way a wonderful flavor might slowly spread across your tongue) builds. The more it builds, the more I want it to build.

I could go on for a while at this level, depending on whether I want to stretch out the pleasure or if I want to be done quickly. Tonight, I just kept going, slowly tightening my hold on my penis. I began to feel a kind of pressure at the base of my cock—kind of like a glowing sun rising in the morning. As it rises through my cock, I get a greater sense of urgency. I can feel this pending eruption, and the pressure builds.

At some point, the eruption starts rising inevitably towards the tip of my cock. As it does, it feels like my cock expands, and it glows in a magical, delicious energy, zapping and zinging. I start panting, and it feels like my eyes are rolling back, and this energy starts flowing up my back and into my head and then throughout my body.

The dam breaks in a sort of two step process. First it feels I can’t hold back any more. Some power outside myself is taking over, and my penis starts pumping in ripples from the base to the tip, and then, suddenly, my semen comes jetting out in a great release that can make me scream and moan if I don’t care if I’m heard. My cock pumps several times and I feel completely emptied out—not just of semen, but also of any nervous or anxious energy. A great calm comes over me—a peace that all is well in the world. It’s as if love was flowing around making everything ok.

Obviously, if I’m just doing it myself, the okness lasts a short time. If it’s from lovemaking, then it can last hours. I feel like I need nothing, and am completely satisfied with the world. Of course, if it’s with a lover who I can’t get out of my mind, We’d go on and on through much of the night… or day, until the bed was saturated with the residue of love.

@daloon Wow. You went all out.

Oh, yeah. There was a study done recently into the different kinds/amounts of chemicals which are released during male and female orgasms. It’s quite easy to synthesise them, so it would theoretically be possible to experience quite a similar thing to what the opposite gender experiences.

@daloon Wow, dude. Wow.

@daemonelson Hm. That’s interesting. Thanks for that add-on

In other news.

@naivete you should watch The Anatomy of Sex. All parts are available on youtube. It was originally on the Discovery Channel (maybe Discovery Health). They replay it all the time.

Put your socks on while you’re having sex, people!

It’s a great question, but slightly flawed: how can a woman say what a male orgasm feels like, and vice versa? And how can a male say how it compares or is different to a woman’s? How would we know?

To answer: it feels like the best thing in the world; like a great book.

@Zen_Again

What I was hoping to do was to get a couple of females to describe their orgasms and some males to do the same. This way myself (and others) could compare.

I admit that I wasn’t quite sure how to word the question.

oic @naivete – sorry.

:-)

It’s like what @Allie and @daloon said. The only difference is that guys play with their penis; gals play with their clitoris, but the orgasm feels the same.
@daloon BTW, great description!

As Woody Allen said in his movie “Manhattan” ... always right on the money.

@naivete ”Put your socks on while you’re having sex, people!” but then I don’t get to see the toes curl up as well.

It’s more of a release of built up pressure than anything else. Kind of disappointing considering what I hear girls experience.

@daemonelson Good article – thanks!

@daloon Man – you are something, buddy. Lurve ya!

Isn’t this a bit like asking what chicken tastes like?

It feels kinda nice actually.

Ohhhhh, daloon. Uh-huh. :D

It’s like having a chinese meal, great at the time but an hour later you want it all over again!

I’m not sure what’s better.. being able to have a orgasm with 45 minutes of foreplay that is great .. or being able to have one after a couple of minutes that is good enough.. XD…

Well, I cant speak for women (mainly cos I can’t get a word in edgeways – lol) but I find it’s possible to have good and bad Orgasms. A good one will leave me (as a bloke) breathless, all sweaty and trembling…......... a bad one (which is still bloody great) not so much and kinda leaves me wanting more…........ is that just me? Does anyone kinda know what I mean?

It’s like a mini volcano on your pelvis

@scotsbloke Yeah, I know what you mean. They aren’t all the same. There is a total difference between “Holy fuck, that was amazing, let’s do it again,” and “Hmm, ok, well, how about another attempt?”

@Allie – yep, or “Wow, Gee, Well, Phew, that was….........gosh is that chair really made from wicker….....” :0)
(not that I’ve ever been THERE you understand)

@scotsbloke I chuckled at the wicker chair part. Seems like you’d get some unexpected, unwanted pinches if that was the case.

waves of explosion forcing everything from the deepest base of your cock out the tip as hard and far as it can until there isn’t any more.

If I remember correctly.

And @Allie I am just going to sit and reread your answer for a while if that’s ok.

whenever I have enough mojo to cum twice the second orgasm is much more intense. Often with an aching prostate afterwards. I think that phenomenon is called “lovers nut”

@Zen_Again, what have you been reading? To paraphrase what the diner said after Meg Ryan’s simulated orgasm in When Harry Met Sally, “I want to read what he’s reading!”

I like books, too, a lot. But I wouldn’t describe an orgasm in any “literate” way—that way.

it feels great

@Naked_Homer Haha, go for it.

@daloon
My penis gradually hardens, and that feeling (which is very cool—kind of like the way a wonderful flavor might slowly spread across your tongue) builds.

A fine formation!

well, it never gets old atleast it hasnt for me, the only thing i can think of that would feel better is dying and going to heaven, you know, it kind of feels like you’ve died and gone to heaven.

The worst orgasm I ever had was just… fantastic.

My orgasms vary in kind and duration. The ultimate begin when I am fully hard and excited. The first immediate contact with hand or body then brings shocking rushes of pleasure. that continue with movement. What happens from there hinges on how much control I aim to use and how long I intend to devote to it.. Over time, usually a half hour or more, the pleasure rises to a high plateau and ushers me into loss of tension and an awarenss of calm, happiness, worth, virile pride, and joy. This process can be prolonged or furthered. Pushing on, I become aware of a power radiating from the penis root and prostate area, into sack, balls, and shaft. I understand the source to be the first chakra at the very base of the torso.. I just “know” now that I can orgam/cum. Just before inevitability, something analogous to sun warmth and golden light fills first the genitals and goes into the body. Thrusting or manipulation expands this into orgasm, but beginning as if in slow motion. At its height, the entire genital area, abdomen, and body suddenly contract and pulse. The pleasure is so piercing and so strong the mind has difficulty grasping it, and I almost lose conscousness.

@nyc1 beautiful description!

As a male my personal experience of what an orgasm feels like for me, it begins as a mild pleasurable throbbing feeling in the muscle at the back of the testicles, over a period of time it becomes more rapid and intense until it reaches the point when the feeling spreads through the testicles and down to the tip of the penis, this ultimate intensity usually lasts for no more than 10 seconds and more often than not makes me cry out in pleasure, after ejaculation it leaves behind a soothing feeling that usually subsides after about 10 minutes or so, it is a wonderful experience that is well worth achieving time and time again, i hope this answered your question.

Well, from reading women’s descriptions I would say that women’s orgasms (at least the better ones) are in a whole different class than male ones. My wife and I have noticed that her’s last 30 seconds or more, mine 5 to 6 seconds. It is also apparent to both of us that her’s are far stronger – that losing control feeling, all over body. From what I read above the “bad” female orgasms are at least as good as the best male orgasms.
On the low end of the scale for guys there is actually no pleasure, just relief. If I have not had release in a long time, it is not an orgasmic pleasure but just relief like when you really need to urinate. At the high end, it is very intense, but certainly no out of body type thing, nor even a little bit feeling like out of control, and the sensations are pretty much limited to the penis and testicles. And, of course, there is no second or third orgasm.
As a male, I have decided not to feel sorry for myself in the orgasm department, but to focus on producing the most pleasure I can in my wife’s body which has so much more potential for orgasmic pleasure. Focusing on her, I can really get alot of pleasure from observing and feeling her amazing orgasms. I think women tend to be a bit quiet about how much stronger, longer, and multiple their orgasms are than ours because they don’t want us to feel bad. But my wife knows I accept that is just how it is, and she is comfortable now acknowleding her much greater capcity for sexual pleasure, and our focus on maximzing that. After her orgasm I ask her how it was and she asks ME how her orgasm was for me! After my orgasm she will ask me how it was, but, though she is happy for me to have a good orgasm, it would never occur to either of us that my more “limited” male orgasm would provide the pleasure to her that her’s does to me.

I was in a ten-year longitudinal gender study that had a large sexual component. Part of the study involved sex tests in a lab while affixed with wireless sensors. This revealed several things:

-The average male orgasm lasted between 2.5 to 4 seconds not including completion of ejaculation.
-The average female orgasm lasted 48 seconds.
-Females were readily able to achieve multiple orgasms which tended to grow in intensity and duration.
-More than half of the women had orgasms of two-minutes or longer after several shorter lead-up orgasms.
-Women have up to 9000 nerve fibers in just the visible tip of the clitoris. 600X the nerve fibers in the entire clitoris as found in the head of the penis
-My orgasms lasted an average 2.7 to 3.2 seconds. I am uncircumcised. The head of my penis has approximately 3000 active nerve fibers.I am a gay male, age 47.
-When administered gender-neutral I.Q. tests the females outscored the males by an average 15 points.

In short we discovered that:

Guys don’t have orgasms, they ejaculate.

Women have orgasms.

Female orgasm can last much longer than male orgasm. I fact it has been said that for a female it’s lasts on average (duration) 20 seconds, while male orgasm last for a mere 3–10 seconds. Also women are more capable of having multiple orgasms than men. It is possible for a woman to have a long lasting orgasm up to a minute in duration!. I personally get very jealous of women the fact they have a high orgasmic threshold than us men. But hey, they are the ones that have the babies, they have to deal with 9 months of pregnancy, and periods. So I think it is only fair they are the ones to get the longer lasting, more intense, and multiple orgasms, they deserve it more than men, because of what they go through.

Well depending on how you achieve the orgasm the results can be extremely different. From a typical penile stimulated one to an anally stimulated multi-orgasmic squirting event that can rival a female-ejaculation experience. I can experience both but greatly prefer the female equivalent by far. For us it’s the Pspot , this begins with a building of pressure inside and as the stimulation continues the feeling grows until you withdraw and ejaculate a large amount fluid. Now you want more, and the feeling intensifies after each orgasm (or ejaculation), stimulate and explode over and over. Each time, the convulsions make my body quake and tingle, toes curl, sometimes multi-ejaculations or waves within one orgasm can restrict breathing during the bodies convulsions that can have intense euphoric feelings. During a session I can orgasm like this 10–15 times soaking myself completely. Even after all this I still remain at my heightened state of arousal but completely satisfied. So now I can choose to stop due to lack of energy or finish with a typical male orgasm or not.
