Men during orgasm.

Guys, during your orgasm, do you find that the more cum your release the better/longer the orgasm is? Or does the volume make no difference at all?

Also, what is it about cum that makes your penis (at least during orgasm) feel good compared to when you pee? Is it the thickness? Does it have to do with the chemical component of semen?

These are only subjective experiences, so they may not be generally applicable, but for me I feel that a longer time since last orgasm = more semen, and a longer time since last orgasm usually = more powerful orgasm, so the two are correlated, but not necessarily causally connected.

I also don't think that it's specifically semen that makes my penis feel good during orgasm - it's more a) what's going on in my brain in terms of nerve stimulation and endorphin release and b) the muscular contractions that are used to expel the semen. Peeing doesn't involve rhythmical muscular contractions, so it isn't going to feel the same.

While we're on the subject of men during orgasm, I want to mention something that I haven't really seen discussed before - while it's pretty easy for me to reach an orgasm as a young guy, the fact that I've reached an orgasm doesn't really indicate how much pleasure I've had :- orgasms for me can range from "I can barely feel that" to "whole body shaking, about to pass out, overwhelming waves of pleasure for 20+ seconds". The first sort is easy - just stimulate my cock for a number of minutes (I haven't timed it!) while not doing anything else. The latter sort takes every bit as much foreplay, mental stimulation, non-genital touch and emotional intimacy as any woman's orgasm. I don't know if I'm typical or unusual in that respect, but, at least for me, orgasm is not a reliable indicator of experiencing sexual pleasure.

Volume of semen has little to do with the intensity of the orgasm.

Also, the actual flow of the semen is only a minor part of the feeling in the orgasm. While I can definitely feel the ejaculation, the muscle contractions and release of built-up tension that IS the orgasm far exceed the ejaculation in contribution to the overall feeling.

For me the more semen I produce the better the orgasm and it definitely makes it last longer.

As for what make my penis feel good compared to going to the toilet, I'd say it's the throbbing and overall flushed sensation I get

For me at least, I do not believe that intensity of orgasm is related to volume of ejaculate. It is the muscular contractions that produce the feelings of orgasm, not the expulsion of the semen through my penis.

Orgasms caused by my wife are always intense, but looking back before my time with her, there were rare occasions when an orgasm could be unusually weak yet there was a large volume of ejaculate. On the other hand, if I have made love to my wife very frequently in a relatively short time, I can be pretty much emptied out and produce a low semen volume, but the 'near empty' orgasms can be as intense as the earlier ones that produce plenty of fluid.

With me volume makes no difference at all

Volume makes no difference for me. Actually very little sensation in the penis/urethra as the semen passes.

What is felt is the muscle contractions of the orgasm itself. For me, that sensation is centered around the base of the penis. Intensity is more tied to the release of stresses, sexual and otherwise.

As far as the semen having an affect, it does not, might as well be urine. Volume, well, is it coincidence or the cause, but I've noticed that the less volume the less intense orgasm

Absolutely, the volume makes the difference, the more cum released, the longer and better orgasm results

The chemical component of the semen has nothing to do with making the penis feel better compared to when peeing and is not the thickness of the penis either.

What it makes the penis feel better is the whole body muscles contraction during orgasm

I found the thickness of semen compared to pee part of the pleasure of orgasm. I felt a warm sensation in my urethra that I didn't feel while peeing. I started to have dry orgasms in my 50s and found something was missing, even if the other sensations were the same..

For me, when I masturbate and I have not cum in several days I will ejaculate more semen and each contraction/squirt seems to be very defined and separate even though they are occurring very close together. These are my most pleasurable orgasms when masturbating. When my ejaculations are same day or maybe just one day apart, then my semen volume is much less and the contractions seem to blend together. Overall I would say the orgasms that occur when have not ejaculated in several days seem to be more pleasurable and last longer.

I should note that when I am having sex frequently not just masturbating but sex with my wife, my stamina increase greatly and I can last 15-20 minutes before cumming. The orgasms are still very intense and pleasurable even though the volume of semen is less.

As near as I've always understood, a man's orgasm is primarily a dual process. First we go into orgasm, then immediately, ejaculation takes place. Both processes have a unique pleasure, and I don't think the length of ejaculation is necessarily the largest amount of pleasure. When I cum, my ejaculations are dry, but my orgasms are extremely pleasurable, and totally satisfying. I feel my penis in the process of ejaculation, but due to past medical problems, I have not ejaculated sperm for years. So, I believe that the amount of sperm ejaculated by a man is not a measure-of-pleasure. My pleasure is all from the beginning of either making love or just masturbating, all the way to the final orgasm. I will say, that watching/helping a female partner cum before I allow mine, makes my orgasm extremely more intense, highly pleasurable, and way more meaningful :-)

I've found, by trying to be more mindful, that the orgasm and ejaculation (wet or dry) are two completely separate occurrences that frequently happen sequentially. If you tune in to yourself and don't overstimulate, you'll become aware of multiple orgasms. If you loose the brainwashing that connects orgasm and ejaculation, you'll be amazed at how much pleasure your body can generate.

For me, the volume of semen available to ejaculate is everything... I deliberately avoid ejaculating many times because I have discovered that building up a quantity of semen: 1. Makes my orgasms last longer. 2. Makes it easier to become aroused. 3. Makes my erection firmer. 4. Makes each contraction of the orgasm more intense (and, therefore, more pleasurable.)

JazminJ, you certainly ask naughty questions. I love them!

Ejaculation and orgasm, though separate, are so entangled they are hard for me to assess separately and objectively. Most have said that ejaculating a large volume of semen results in a better orgasm. I agree, up to a point. The same thing that leads to a large volume of semen, abstenance, also leads to heightened arousal, hornyness. That factor should not be discounted regarding its contribution to a better orgasm.

I have noticed that sometimes when going for successive orgasms and ejaculations, when I have had to work really hard to come, the orgasm, though maybe not as long, was more intense.

My understanding, and I pretend no expertise, is that the wonderful penile sensations of orgasm are largely or entirely neurological, not physiological. I think ejaculation is physically pleasant and satisfying, but orgasm is exquisite and intense.

Thinking about the question, and trying to answer it accurately, has caused me to wonder about a related question. When a male ejaculates, does the quantity of semen control or influence the number of contractions? I suspect the realationship of the quantity of semen to number of contractions is limited or nonexistent. My sense, when ejaculating, is that the contractions continue well past the point that there is semen left to expel. If that is so, the contractions being pleasant in their own way, that would also reduce the difference in pleasure between a large volume ejaculation and a smaller squirt.

All of the above notwithstanding, if the man's pleasure is heightened by the idea of giving his partner a big load, and the woman's pleasure is heightened by the idea of receiving her partner's big load, so be it. This is certainly an instance in which perception trumps reality!

I tend to agree with what several others have posted. If it has been several days since I last ejaculated and the volume of semen I produce is greater, the orgasm tends to last longer and be a bit more intense. If I am ejaculating daily then the volume is less and the orgasms tend to fade rather quickly.

I would agree that the volume of ejaculate is one factor. I love it when it just keeps coming and coming... The biggest thing for me though is the build up / edging. If I have been working my penis for a while and gotten it really worked up, that is the best orgasm. And that feeling will actually stay with me longer. If I've been masturbating a lot, then it is usually pretty quick and just a little comes out. Another thing Ive found is how I'm masturbating. For some reason, it seems that most of the time, I masturbate dry (without lube) and I get more semen. When I use lube, it feels more pleasureful and sensitive, but I get less semen.

When it comes to semen volume and orgasm, the more the merrier. Especially when I'm shooting it inside someone's mouth. Those always seem to be by far the strongest. & most voluminous

No wonder i went into a serious depression when my girlfriend dumped me. It's all body chemicals that seem to drive everything, one way or another

For me, the more mentally I am into the situation... the stronger my orgasm is most of the time.

After laser prostate surgery I don't make much semen. But my orgasms are more intense and I seem to thrust uncontrollably and they last longer. I'm definitely not complaining but the intensity doesn't seem to correlate with semen volume. My prostate has been bored out so there is even less of that. I can't explain but I like it.
