Male Orgasmic Disorder

Maybe you're one of the thousands of men who suffer from male orgasmic disorder - that is, the inability to orgasm despite adequate sexual stimulation, or experience severely delayed orgasms. This condition is more commonly found in women, going by the term anorgasmia. While there has been much attention paid to the condition in women, it has remained virtually ignored in men, taking a back seat to other male sexual problems like erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.

While men who suffer from those conditions have overcome their embarrassment enough to search for a solution, those with orgasmic disorder often remain silent. Some men go as far as faking orgasms or avoiding sex altogether. If this sounds familiar, then be comforted by the knowledge that help is out there. Speaking to a medical professional or a registered sex therapist is advisable, as they are the best resource at your disposal. But here is a starting point for you to learn about male orgasmic dysfunction.

Male orgasmic disorder is the absence of orgasm despite sufficient sexual stimulation, we've stated. Sufficient is subjective of course, and things such as age are taken into consideration. The problem must also be persistent - if it has happened a few times, and is not recurring, then it is not defined as an orgasmic disorder. Doctors will also see if the problem occurs only during partner sex, or during masturbation as well. Even if all other symptoms are present, it's only considered a disorder if it causes stress to the man affected. Often those who suffer from orgasmic disorder also have feelings of guilt or inadequacy, that they are not a 'real man' unless they can orgasm during the time frame they perceive as normal.

Male orgasmic disorder may have either physiological or psychological causes. Determining what is causing the dysfunction is necessary in solving the problem. In physiological cases, many diseases could be to blame. Some of these diseases or disorders that could be to blame include multiple sclerosis, Cushing's syndrome, hyperthyroidism, or if you had strokes in the past. Medication is another factor to consider. Some medications, such as typed of those to treat blood pressure or certain kinds of antidepressants, can keep you from reaching your climax. If you think this may be the case, your doctor can help, possibly switching your medication that does not have sexual side effects.

More commonly though, the inability to orgasm or delayed orgasms is mostly due to psychological reasons. While we've stated above that certain kinds of anti-depressants may cause orgasmic disorder, so may depression. Also to blame is anxiety, stress, mental exhaustion, or fear, to name just a few. Because most cases of orgasmic disorder are caused by a psychological factor, therapy has proven to be the most effective form of treatment.

After consulting your doctor and maybe a therapist if the situation warrants, changes in your day to day life may help. Consider the habits in your life - do you drink or smoke? Both can cause you to be unable to orgasm, and are also a factor in erectile dysfunction, which is the inability to get or sustain an erection. Exhaustion is also a factor, so make sure that you get plenty of sleep and find ways to relax. A healthy lifestyle, with proper exercise and a balanced diet, may help you achieve orgasm regularly.

Consider an extra boost, as well - we've had success with Alpha Male Plus, an all-natural compound made of bulk elk antler and seventeen other vitamins, minerals and herbal ingredients. Increasing your stamina and the strength of your orgasms, Alpha Male Plus increases the production of testosterone, the hormone responsible for sexual response. While no adverse side effects have been reported, it is always recommended to consult your doctor before taking any kind of supplement.

Some Things You Probably Didn't Know About Sex

Sure, maybe you've had sex and maybe you've had an orgasm, but that doesn't necessarily make you an expert on sex. With so much to know, and so much new information about sex coming out all the time, how can you keep up? Well, here's a few points to help you keep you informed about some things you may not have known about sex.

Premature Ejaculation Also Happens

Almost as embarrassing as not being able to get it up, and even more common. 30% of men are premature ejaculators, studies have discovered. You can learn to control ejaculation, though without diminishing - try thicker condoms, kegel exercises, and the start-and stop technique .

Multiple Orgasms Aren't Just For Women or Tantric Experts

Learning that orgasm and ejaculation are separate is the first step towards multiple orgasms. Multiple orgasms work by achieving orgasm without ejaculation, letting you orgasm over again without a recuperation period. While it isn't necessarily easy to learn, it is possible with a little work.

Average Penis Size is Smaller Than You Think

Most men are under the impression that everyone's penis is bigger than theirs. In truth, the average penis size is between 5.1 to 5.7 inches. On top of that, girth is more important than length to women as the nerve endings that matter most are located along the bottom third of her vagina.

Most Aphrodisiacs are Bogus

It seems like an obvious point, but still so many people buy products that are supposed to enhance libido, and are disappointed that they just don't work. Some objects or food are considered to boost libido due to its genitalia-like shape, such as rhino horn or oysters, while others for its exoticness, which includes strawberries or potatoes when they were newly discovered by Europeans. Spanish fly, one of the most popularly named of these so-called aphrodisiacs, does in fact cause a warming sensation in the body - because it's causing bladder irritation.

There are some genuine libido booster products though. One of the very best is Alpha Male Plus. Benefits of taking Alpha Male Plus can include: longer, stronger orgasms, faster recovery time, and increased semen volume.

Having Sex is a Form of Exercise (Really)

Depending on how good you thought sex was as an exercise, the amount of exercise you actually get from sex can be surprising either way. It's possible to burn off about 100 calories an hour from fairly vigorous sex. This of course varies between individuals, because everyone burns calories at a different rate. But while you are in fact burning calories, it's not enough for sex to replace going to the gym.

There are Many Health Benefits to Sex

While it's widely accepted that sex is a great way to relieve stress, and thus is good for one's health, and as we stated above sex is a good way to burn extra calories, there's more to it than that. Several studies are currently being conducted that could prove that sex is good for our health. Some of these studies set out to prove the link between regular sex and: lower mortality rate for men, reduced rate of prostate cancer, as a way to combat depression, etc.

Seniors Still Experience Sexual Desire

While it may be disturbing to you to think about the elderly getting it on, it's a part of life. Men and women in their 60s, according to a study by The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) in 1999, still have sex. With so much focus on sexual enhancers over the years, it's made sex as you age all the more possible.
