However, not every person with a penis can achieve orgasm.
Oftentimes, multiple causes are involved.
It also explores treatment options for people who have difficulty reaching orgasm.

Research studies sometimes don’t use the terminology in this way.
What Is a Male Orgasm?
The male orgasm is a complex reaction in which the brain and body all play a part.
In addition, testosterone can elevate energy and moods and enhance a person’s sex drive (libido).
With sexual stimulation, an erection can be achieved, eventually culminating with orgasm and ejaculation.
Is there a difference between a male orgasm and a female orgasm?
This fluid comes from Skenes glands located near the urethra in females.
This causes the enlargement and stiffening of the penis known as anerection.
This phase typically lasts between 30 seconds and two minutes.
This is often accompanied by feelings of relaxation or even drowsiness.
There may not be ejaculation, but you will otherwise have the physiological and emotional responses of an orgasm.
The multiorgasmic state can be condensed or sporadic.
When it is condensed, two to four distinct orgasms occur within a few seconds to two minutes.
When it is sporadic, refraction is delayed and multiple orgasms can occur within several minutes.
Male Orgasm Problems
Orgasm disorders differ from ejaculation disorders.
Ejaculation disorders have to do with the actual release of semen.
With orgasm disorders, the sexual climax is either abnormal or does not occur.
Dry Orgasm
A dry orgasm is one in which very little semen is expelled during orgasm.
It differs from anejaculation in that anorgasmia infers the lack of sexual pleasure to reach orgasm.
By contrast, anejaculation is the inability to eject sperm.
Even so, dry orgasms don’t impact sexual pleasure so treatment may not be needed.
The treatment of anorgasmia depends on the underlying cause.
Treatment options may include psychotherapy, changing medications, or testosterone replacement therapy.
Managing hypertension and diabetes may also help.
To do these exercises, tense the muscles you use to stop urinating.
Hold for three seconds, then release and repeat 10 times.
Breathing exercises:Focusing on slowing your breathing during sex may help maximize pleasure and intensify orgasm.
These substances slow down the central nervous system and the transmission of information between the brain and the penis.
Alcohol dependence can be associated with loss of libido, unsatisfying orgasm, and erectile dysfunction.
Others may have a dry orgasm in which climax is achieved but little if any semen is produced.
Sometimes, a combination of causes is involved.
Discuss orgasm problems with your primary care provider.
