Question:
I am a 20 year old male and I have just started a sexual relationship and have a few problems. First of all during my teenage years I could never masturbate to orgasm. The first few times I had sex I didn’t realise that I was orgasming. There isn’t a lot of feeling when I do orgasm. The semen just dribbles out and doesn’t spurt. I have recently tried masturbating and it now works but doesn’t feel really intense. People say that the feeling when orgasming should be really intense, mine are not. It kind of feels good but not like everyone says it should. Can anyone give me any advice. Im too embarrassed to go to a doctor. Thanks

The orgasmic feeling varies among both men and women. Some will report an intense explosive event, others something much quieter and more subdued. It might be that with additional encounters (with a partner and with your own masturbation) that you will begin to discover greater orgasmic sensations. There are muscles contracting as a part of that process... they might need to be toned up. You might try doing the Kegel exercises often "prescribed" for women to tone up their pelvic floor muscles and intensify their orgasms. Squeeze the muscles you feel are contracting when you ejaculate. These are the same muscles you would use to stop the flow of urine mid-stream. Squeeze those muscles and hold them tight... then relax. Do that 10 or 12 times during each exercise episode. You can do those contractions anytime and no one will know. Editors note: Certain medications, physical conditions, and previous injuries can all also effect the physical sensations during orgasm. Patricia Fawver, Ph.D., editor
