While women are physically capable of achieving multiple orgasms consecutively, most men aren’t so blessed.
The reason? A window of time known as the refractory period—where a man becomes unresponsive towards sexual stimulation.
The refractory period can vary greatly in men. Many young men can get it on in just a few minutes, while older men may take 24 hours to several days to regain pleasure in sex again due to a lower testosterone count.
Understanding and improving the root issues of low testosterone and premature ejaculation are critical to improving the chances that a man has multiple orgasms.
That said—medical research shows that while it’s rare, it’s still possible for men to experience multiple orgasms. In said study, about 10% of men in their 20s and 7% of men in their 30s claim to have experienced multiorgasms.
Let’s take a deeper look into what multiple orgasms for males entail, as well as how to achieve them.
Orgasm vs Ejaculation (and Why This Distinction Matters)
It’s important to be able to tell the difference between an orgasm and the process of ejaculating.
An orgasm is a pleasurable sensation that precedes ejaculation. It’s when your heart rate rises, your muscles contract, and your blood pressure climbs.
Ejaculation, on the other hand, is when your body discharges sperm cells and seminal plasma through contractions of the bulbocavernosus muscle.
After you orgasm, the body sends signals to the brain and immediately prepares it to enter its refractory period.
And that’s as far as how the normal process goes.
But did you know that there’s a way to chain multiple orgasms together without having to ejaculate?
This process is called NEMO, or non-ejaculatory orgasms.
During NEMO, a male multiple orgasm can be achieved more than once in a short period, all while not ejaculating in the process.
While the intensity of the orgasm is not as strong as the initial climax, it can still be preferable for men who prefer multiple shorter bursts than one large orgasm.
And the good thing about this technique is that you can train yourself to get multiple orgasms too.
5 Ways for Men to Achieve Multiple Orgasms
If you want to achieve stronger or multiple orgasms, here are some things you can try at home.
Kegel Exercises
Kegel exercises, or pelvic floor exercises, help strengthen the muscles responsible for maintaining an erection.
These types of exercises also improve blood flow to the penis and increase your chances of ejaculating more frequently.
To paint an example, imagine that you’re holding in your flow during the middle of urination.
Keep your penis contracted in that position, and repeat the process of contracting and releasing 5 to 10 times.
With daily consistency and a doctor’s sexual health guidance, you’ll see an improvement in your sexual stamina while simultaneously increasing your chances of having more orgasms.
Here are two other Kegel exercises you can perform:
Lay on Floor Pelvic Floor Exercise
Here are the steps for this type of pelvic floor muscle training exercise:
- Lay on a flat surface with your feet flat on the floor and your knees bent.
- Find your pelvic floor muscles.
- Exhale, and contract your pelvic floor muscles. Pull your abdomen towards your spine. Contract for a second before releasing.
- Do 2-3 sets, repeat 10 times per set, and get a few seconds of rest (10-20 seconds) after each set.
Heel Slides Exercise
Here’s how to do this exercise:
- Lay on a flat surface with your feet flat on the floor and your knees bent.
- Find your pelvic floor muscles.
- Breathe into your diaphragm and exhale through your mouth.
- Raise your pelvic floor and hold your core still, then slide your right heel away from your core.
- Reach the bottom position, inhale, then slowly return to the starting position.
- Repeat on one side 10 times, then do it again on the other side for 10 times.
Stimulate the Prostate
Did you know that men can attain intense pleasure without even getting hard?
This can be done by the stimulation of the prostate—a process known as prostate orgasm.
With this method, you’ll need sex toys as an aid—proven tools in helping men achieve multiple orgasms. To climax via your prostate, here are the steps to do it correctly.
- Masturbate. It’s more comfortable than having a partner do it (for your first time) and helps you reach a certain level of arousal.
- Use sex toys to help you apply pressure to the prostate. Rock it against your rectum.
- Play with the toy and masturbate simultaneously, and achieve orgasm.
- The next time you masturbate, try the same technique again. Direct attention to your penis, but once you’re about to ejaculate, stop stimulating your penis and stimulate your prostate instead.
- Enjoy the full-body wonder of prostate orgasms.
The good thing about this technique, upon mastery, is that the penis can still remain hard after a prostate orgasm. That means you can enjoy the prostate orgasm in one minute, then stimulate your penis to orgasm multiple times afterward.
Reduce Masturbation Frequency
The longer you hold off on masturbating or getting some action, the higher your climax will be.
If you plan to have sex in the near future with a partner, it’s best to have at least a few days of leeway from your last masturbation or sex session.
This way, you can give your body enough time to ramp up on seminal production, increasing your sexual arousal and allowing you more chances in achieving multiple orgasms.
Edging
Edging is all about control. It’s when you stop masturbating right at the brink of a climax—then resume once the feeling of being about to come subsides.
The longer you edge, the stronger your ejaculatory orgasm will be. You may also experience more frequent orgasms through this method.
Do keep in mind, however, that it will get harder to edge the longer you hold off having an orgasm. You may also experience premature ejaculation.
Regular edging does help with increasing your stamina, though.
Squeeze Method
The stop-squeeze technique is another form of ejaculatory control.
To do it, you should squeeze the part of your penis that meets the shaft as you’re about to come.
When the feeling of wanting to come subsides, you may continue sexual activity or masturbation.
Takeaways for Male Multiple Orgasms and Improving Sexual Health
With patience, the right techniques, and lots of practice, sexual pleasure through multiple orgasms can be attainable in men.
To summarize, here are the ways that men can get multiple orgasms:
- Kegel exercises
- Prostate stimulation
- Reduction of masturbation frequency
- Edging
- Squeeze method
It may take some time—and may not even work out for some men immediately—but as long as you’re having fun and continue listening to your body, even failure can be a good time.
