Sex therapist Lorraine Grover shed light on atypical forms of male orgasm that aren’t solely tied to ejaculation. The expert detailed several types of male climax, distinct in their genesis and sensation, in an article for the publication Metro.
While many men equate orgasm exclusively with ejaculation, there are other physiological variations of the body’s sexual response. Understanding these mechanisms can help alleviate anxiety and foster greater control over sensations.
The most frequent form remains the ejaculatory orgasm, which comprises two phases. Initially, sperm travels into the urethra, where it combines with secretions from the prostate gland and seminal vesicles. Subsequently, pelvic muscles contract, expelling the semen externally.
This sequence is accompanied by rhythmic contractions of the pelvic floor muscles and a sensation of abrupt tension release. However, even this method isn’t consistently accessible; only approximately 60% of men experience orgasm during every sexual encounter.
Experts also distinguish the pelvic orgasm, which involves the contraction of the muscles in the pelvic floor. This form may lack pronounced ejaculation. Instead, there’s an internal pulsing sensation in the lower abdomen, which can be intensified through pelvic floor muscle exercises.
Another pathway to satisfaction involves stimulating the prostate gland. The expert notes that the prostate, situated beneath the bladder near the rectum, can be stimulated either through internal muscular tension or via the perineal area. Typically, this type also involves no semen release, and while the sensations might be less intense, they tend to last longer.
Sometimes, a blended type of orgasm is utilized, where the penis and the prostate are stimulated concurrently. This typically yields deeper and more drawn-out feelings, and occasionally, multiple orgasms.
