The male orgasm: step by step

Much of the internet community is interested in exploring woman's orgasms, but what about us chaps we hear you say? Well, you’ve come (ahem!) to the right place my friend. The boffins at Mr. Wilde have embarked on a quest to take you closer to understanding the science behind your orgasm, so buckle up boyo and read on!

The science bit

Men have fuel inside them which leads them to sexual desires and orgasms. That fiery fuel is testosterone, the hormone that is produced in men’s testicles and responsible for so much of what is good (and evil) in the world. Along with testosterone, testicles produce sperm and protein-rich fluids. This fluid nourishes the sperm for some time even after ejaculation, it is this mixture of sperm and fluid that’s known as semen and that is what men ejaculate during orgasms. Testosterone is also one of the prime factors responsible for men’s sexual desires, and these desires are the key element that leads to orgasm - so in case a man is suffering from low testosterone, he will lack sexual desire which means he may not actually have orgasms. Now, to have an orgasm, a man has to go through the following steps;

The Arousal

This phase starts when a man receives sexual stimulation that increases sexual interest in his mind. The brain will send that signal to that man’s sexual organs through the spinal cord. After that, blood will start to flow in his penis making it erect. The veins that generally remove the blood from the penis will become shut so that the accumulated blood does not go away. It will result in a firmer erection. We’re pretty sure everyone is familiar with this part of the process!

The Plateau

You can call this phase a preparatory phase for when you’re teetering on the edge of an orgasm, it lasts for about 30 to 120 seconds. The body will prepare itself for the orgasm according to the stimulations. So, around the pelvic area, some involuntary movements will begin, the heartbeat will start to increase, and a fluid that ejaculates before the orgasm will start to flow (you may affectionately refer to this as pre-cum). This fluid ensures the urethra’s right pH balance so that sperm can survive longer. You’re learning something now, right?

The Orgasm

You have arrived at your destination! There will be two steps in this orgasm phase; the first step is ‘emission’ where a man reaches the point of no return, as a result, semen will move to the upper portion of the urethra from where the ejaculation will happen. The second step is ‘ejaculation’ which will happen after quick penile muscle contractions near the anus. Also, one can experience pelvic thrusting at this point as the brain receives signals of pleasure from the nerves that are causing the contraction.

The Refraction

The final phase is the ‘refraction’ phase when men go into a recovery mode, where the penis will begin to lose its erection following the ejaculation. After that, some men might feel relaxed and others might feel drowsy - others will quietly ask themselves “what have I done!?”. According to age, a man will take some time to get another erection. An eighteen-year-old whipper snapper can take around 15 minutes for his next erection, whereas a gentleman with more experience under his belt can take up to 10hrs, although the average time is around 30 minutes. Phew!

The Bottom Line

When it comes to orgasms, there are some obvious differences between men and women. That is why if you have XY chromosomes and are keen to buy a sex toy, you should always look to get sex toys designed for men because they are made with the male orgasm and these differences in mind. Our range of high quality male sex toys has something for all preferences, whether thats cock rings, anal toys or masturbators - head over to our page now you’ve finished reading to continue your quest into the world of pleasure.
