Men's Sexual Health: Orgasm

Orgasm Introduction:
Orgasm is the powerful, pleasurable release of sexual arousal and tension. For adult men, orgasm is usually accompanied by ejaculation, however orgasm is possible without ejaculation and ejaculation without pleasurable orgasm. Generally speaking, men will experience different muscle contractions throughout the pelvic and genital region, as well as in other parts of the body. Their heart rate and breathing will increase. Yet while physical orgasmic response can be generalized in these ways, the actual experience of orgasm can vary dramatically from person to person and from time to time. Some people describe orgasms as euphoric or spiritual. Others enjoy feeling almost out of control during orgasm, while others dislike the feelings of vulnerability the experience can induce. This channel deals with these issues.
