Gourt Home::Gourt :: Dry orgasm
A dry orgasm is a sexual climax that does not result in ejaculation. The term only refers to orgasms experienced by males, as female ejaculation during climax is less common, occurring, or well known.
Boys who masturbate before the age of puberty will usually only experience dry orgasms, if they experience any climax at all. Boys who experience dry orgasms can often produce multiple orgasms, as the need for a rest period, the refractory period, is reduced. Some males consider dry orgasm to feel uncomfortable or even painful, some find them more intense. Other men practice to achieve multiple orgasms, some of which by necessity must be dry.
Dry orgasms can be achieved deliberately by pushing the beginning of the urethra between the anus and testicles immediately after orgasm. This will cause the urethra to be closed during ejaculation and thus no semen will leave the penis. This however may cause some pain in the testicles and around the anus. Damage may be caused to ejaculation-related parts of body including the ejaculatory ducts and vas deferens. This can also be done by contracting the same muscles directly after orgasm as those used to forcefully stop urination. This can take some practice, but many men who master it report longer, more intense orgasms, or even the capability of having multiple orgasms.
Dry orgasms may also occur in men who ejaculate multiple times in a short period such as an hour, after the first few ejaculations have used up the available stored seminal fluid. This condition is self-limiting, as after a few hours the supplies of seminal fluid will be replenished by the prostate gland and seminal vesicles.
Men who have had their prostate removed, (usually as a result of prostate cancer), may also experience dry orgasms.
Another cause of dry orgasms is retrograde ejaculation, where the semen flows into the urinary bladder, rather than through the urethra to the outside.
The term "dry orgasm" is also used for a form of mind-body orgasm where the mind experiences orgasm without attempted ejaculation. This type of dry orgasm is one of the goals of Tantric sex.
