orgasm

[denzel]

this might sound dumb asf but what actually is an orgasm for guys(or in your opinion)? i read on here that it's the same as ejaculation but some other guys say it's a specific better feeling...

[Hermes]

I am not completely sure if you are asking "What is an orgasm?" or "What is an orgasm for?"

Orgasm is a short period of intense pleasure that includes muscle contractions in the pelvic area but which can seem like a whole body experience too. Obviously that description doesn't really convey just how good it feels but it is hard to describe. In someone old enough to ejaculate, orgasm usually happens at the same time as ejaculation but the two can be separate. In particular:

1. Someone too young to ejaculate should nevertheless be able to have an orgasm, i.e. what is called a "dry orgasm".
2. When using a technique called "stop & go" where you get close to orgasm and then stop any stimulation for short while, then repeat a few times before finally cumming, if you mis-time stopping you can end up ejaculating without the orgasm.

As for "what is an orgasm for?" the classic answer would be breeding to continue the species is important so the body has ways to encourage it both through horniness and then the pleasure of orgasm. Of course, we have worked out how to get the pleasure, and get a break from the horniness, without doing the breeding but that may have something to do with the newer part of our brains that give us intelligence, problem solving skills etc. rather than the old (more primitive) part that deals with survival (including sex).

I think Hermes has pretty much covered all of the bases on orgasms vs. ejaculation and such. I agree, with this explanation.

That is a good explanation but I don't think that I've ever had an orgasm separate from an ejaculation. For me, they happen at once. Dry orgasms were the exception.

[Sevro au Barca]

To second Hermes's point, I've definitely had ejaculations without orgasms before; like he said, they happen when you over-shoot the mark during stop-and-go, but only if you completely stop stimulation after going past the point of no return. It's a weird sensation, really.

They're two separate things, though one of which almost always causes the other. Basically a guy can orgasm without having any semen in his body (evidenced by dry orgasms before a guy matures or having low quantities of the component fluids in the body for whatever reasons), but small amounts of semen can still be expelled from the body before orgasm usually in one or two muscular contractions, separate from precum.

For me it is the same as ejaculation

[Falcons_11]

When I have an orgasm I ejaculate my sperm. The only exception was when I used to get dry orgasms before puberty.

[scott2002]

The ejaculation is biological. We are designed to try to inseminate with our sperm as many females as possible and as often as possible. I think the orgasm is what motivates us to do whatever we need to do to our penis in order to reach ejaculation. So, it's all "in God's plan" for us to reproduce.
