9 Amazing Facts About Male Ejaculation and Orgasm • Hello Healthy
The experience of reaching orgasm may be the time men always look forward to when having sex. Orgasm has become a biological phenomenon that is so amazing. Only by reaching a climax can you feel much better and happier. Want to know more about male orgasms? Immediately, consider the following nine facts.
1. Orgasm with a partner is better than alone
In any situation, orgasm is sure to feel good. However, research from Scotland reveals that an orgasm during sex with a partner is much more satisfying than an orgasm during masturbation. Climax because sex will apparently trigger the body to produce 400% more of the hormone prolactin. This hormone makes you feel so satisfied and as if “floating”.
2. Male orgasm is influenced by body weight
On average, men produce about 3.4 milliliters of semen when they orgasm. However, a study by experts at the University of Aberdeen proved that men who are overweight tend to produce less semen, which is about 2 milliliters. So, be careful if your belly fat has started to accumulate or you have trouble maintaining an ideal weight.
3. Orgasm can be a natural headache reliever
Migraines or recurrent headaches? You don’t need to take medication, you just have enough sexual activity to reach orgasm. At the climax, the body will produce endorphins. This hormone is effective in blocking aches and pains, especially in the head.
4. Men can also fake orgasms
You may have heard that women often fake orgasms. Make no mistake, men can also do it. A survey by researchers at the University of Kansas noted that men fake orgasms because they are too drunk to climax or because they are already very drowsy. For fear of hurting their partner’s heart, men will pretend to orgasm and immediately hide or throw away the condom used.
5. Male ejaculation speed is greater than that of Olympic runners
Your body has super abilities that appear during orgasm. The shot of semen or ejaculation when a man orgasm is very fast, which is 45 kilometers per hour! This speed is more amazing than the runners in the Olympics. Usain Bolt, the fastest Olympic runner in the world alone can only set a record of 44 kilometers per hour.
6. Men can orgasm without ejaculation
Male orgasm is not the same as ejaculation. An orgasm is a series of contractions in the penis area, an increase in heart rate and blood pressure, as well as tightening of muscles in several parts of the body. Meanwhile, ejaculation is the discharge of semen from the penis. Some people have experienced this “dry orgasm,” and the pleasure remains the same as the male orgasm followed by ejaculation.
7. Men must rest first to reach the next orgasm
Most men do have to rest first after orgasm before they can get an erection and orgasm again. It may take you a few minutes to an hour to reach your next orgasm. Indeed, there are men who can orgasm many times without pausing as well as women, but this rarely happens.
8. The effect of an orgasm is similar to the effect of using heroin
It’s no secret, orgasm really feels good as if you “fly” to another world. This sensation is similar to the sensation of using a heroin-type narcotic. This is because orgasm and heroin both activate a part of the brain called the ventral tegmental that regulates pleasure.
Experts believe orgasm can have this effect because male orgasm is needed to produce offspring. Producing offspring is necessary to ensure human survival, so instinctively the brain will feel happy because it has fulfilled this obligation.
9. Regular orgasm nourishes the body
You have every reason to have regular orgasms and sex. Research by experts who are members of the American Urological Association reveals that regular orgasm can reduce the risk of prostate cancer by up to 20%. Another study in England in 1997 also proved orgasm at least twice a week can improve heart health and keep your blood pressure stable.
