Excitement in Orgasms part 3 of 3
This is a guest blog submission by Climax Connection member, eric60red.
Shoot That Load – The average male ejaculates 3 to 5 ml of semen at a time. Semen contains sperm as well as secretions produced by the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and Cowper’s glands. In a healthy fertile male, each one ml of ejaculate contains an average of 50 to 100 million sperm. Although this may seem like a very large number, sperm actually account for only 5% of the overall ejaculate volume. As a male ages or if he ejaculates repeatedly with only a short duration between ejaculations, the semen volume may be reduced. A “dry” orgasm occurs when there is no ejaculation. These “dry” orgasms are common in prepubescent boys and can also occur in some men who have prostate disease, certain neurological impairments, or spinal cord injuries.
Rub My Clit – Orgasm in women involves rhythmic contractions of the uterus and the muscles that surround the vagina. Women normally experience 3 to 10 very strong contractions that occur at 0.8-second intervals. These initial contractions may be followed by 3 to 6 slower and weaker contractions. Some women also release a small gush of fluid. Many women find it necessary to have direct stimulation of the clitoris in order to have an orgasm. For this reason, many women can reach orgasm much easier and faster through masturbation than through intercourse. Orgasm intensity and its associated feelings can both vary greatly. Sometimes a person experiences an orgasm that makes them feel like their entire body is going to explode, while at other times they might just experience a pleasant feeling of muscle relaxation. Influencing factors include a person’s mood, psychological state, level of desire, relation to partner, drug or alcohol use, expectations, physical condition, and time since the last orgasm.
Resolution Stage – After orgasm in the male, there is usually a complete loss of the erection within a few minutes. During this resolution stage the entire body returns to an unaroused state. Most men experience a refractory period, during which no type of stimulation is able to bring about another erection. The length of the refractory period can vary dramatically between men; age, mood, drug use, and stimulation type can all be factors. The typical refractory period for a male in his teens or 20s is just a few minutes, whereas in the older male it may be a few hours or even a day.
Multiple Orgasms – Women do not display a refractory period and are therefore capable of experiencing multiple orgasms. However, a recent laboratory study did document a case of a male who was able to have multiple ejaculatory orgasms without any refractory period between them.
Now all this tells us what happens inside our bodies, and lead me to another question, “How do we make an orgasm happen?” Perhaps a subject for another blog?
