How long should a male orgasm last? ie - to put in more blunt terms, when having sex for how long long should the man "cum" for? :-) A few seconds? Longer? Someone asked me today and i didnt actually know the answer.
Thanks.

My first is still going strong... :smile:

I think a matter of seconds is what mortal men experience. In Heaven they can last for centuries!

[edit]
I would add that male dogs appear to have an ejaculation cycle that may stretch into minutes. Observing them come detached from the female prematurely and thrust their lower regions over and over while spilling onto the ground is why I say this. You lucky dog !

The orgasm itself begins slightly before the ejaculation, so it lasts a bit longer than it takes to simply expel all of the semen.
 
loseyourname, you have it backwards. Ejaculation begins first.

should, would, could ?

It would be nice to have it last several minutes. Personally, I think any longer would hamper your ability to do meaningful things with your life but there's the counter-argument to that : "long as everyone's happy, who cares ?"
 
From a purely biological standpoint, ejaculation only needs to last long enough for enough sperm to be released to fertilize the egg.

There are a lot of variables from physical to psychological that would affect the duration of ejaculation, and that would all fall well within the range considered "normal."

loseyourname and chroot, there are two stages to ejaculation, the first is emission and the second is expulsion. Both involve the rhythmic contraction of portions of the reproductive tract as sperm are mixed with seminal fluid and then released out of the body. In common terminology, most people referring to ejaculation refer only to the expulsion phase, because that is the obviously observable portion of the process, but in biological terms, ejaculation begins with the emission phase.
 
The emission stage is what I was referring to when I said the orgasm began before ejaculation, by which I meant expulsion, of course.

Anyway, I'm looking it up on search engines and I'm not finding anything. Mine usually last about 8-10 seconds, but my ejaculations are larger than average, so that may be on the long side. I don't know. I'd like to point out, though, that many doctors and sex specialists do not equate ejaculation with orgasm. In fact, I've been finding a great deal of case studies and instructional techniques while performing this search on male orgasms without ejaculation. Supposedly it eliminates the refractory period and allows for multiple male orgasms.
 
Men can definitely have multiple (very small) orgasms. Not to be graphic, but I sometimes experience them while trying to hold off ejaculation. After three or four, however, I am usually unable to ejaculate, so it's really a double-edged sword. The pleasure of one of these small orgasms is much much less intense than a normal one, probably because less of the, uh, machinery is involved down there.

The material I was getting mentioned something about not allowing your prostate to contract so the ejaculate could not get past the seminal vesicles into the urethra. Is this what you do? If so, how the hell do you do that? I can hold off an ejaculation pretty easily, but only by holding off the orgasm itself.

The Taoist have some pretty advanced techniques for this sort of thing. Many of these techniques are the basis for advanced levels of certain forms of martial arts and healing in the Taoist systems.


Mantak Chia has done a good job of compiling much of these techiniques and reveals them in his healing Tao books. "Cultivating Male Sexual Energy" is a popular one that reveals the how to of such techniques which previously were highly gaurded secrets certainly never revealed to westerners..or so they say...

Just do a search on mantak chia and take it from there. It makes for interesting reading and fun practice;=)

the coolpart is that they work, you can learn to do this and see for yourself...

You do not have to be a Taoist, you can just be a plain old American and follow the Mantak Chia techiniques. I have read all his books. I have followed these parctices for 6 years now. Nei Kung practices is the key to conservation of the red bone marrow and longevity. For the uninformed, there is no need for ejaculation unless the purpose is procreation. By placing pressure with three finger in the from of a triangle, into the little whole just below sack you block the seminal vesicles, the seman can not pass. The result is a orgasm many times as powerfull as anything any of you have experienced. When you go back to the other way, it is as if there is no orgasm. What you are doing by the power lock method is recirculating "CHI" back into the system by means of the Chakras and then into the bone marrow. Long life to all. :smile:

Try holding out for a week. And when you finally do it, the orgasm lasts much longer, pent up energy and all that..

How long should a male orgasm last?
Ok, the answer has at last come to me. It should last until the man says; enough, I haven’t been to work in weeks, a news helicopter is hovering the house, paramedics have arrived, and the police are knocking at the door! :approve:
