Because it is possible for a man to ejaculate without a solid erection, one Anonymous comment yesterday suggested that men make an issue of ED from a psychological / emotional standpoint.
"I'm wondering if all the fuss is more about the psychological aspect of masculinity and potency being tied to an erect dick when it doesn't need to be."
It is. Men - well, most men, anyway - tie self-image, self-esteem, to their manhood. Why? Because from puberty on, with so much focus placed on the penis, men allow it to define them. The guys with big dicks seem to love to show them off. The guy with the longest cock and the ability to penetrate deeper at the time of ejaculation is the guy with the best chances of his sperm reaching the ovum.
Not that velocity doesn't play a part. It does. So does volume. Both of which play a part in the sense of satisfaction when we cum. The more forceful the shots, the more shots there are, the better it feels.
Which brings me to a question posed by a faithful reader from Down Under.
"I have observed what other men experience during orgasm in a real sense, not just fantasy porn, and it is way more than I experience. Admittedly some don't have major reactions at all and I have debated with myself whether that is simply how they express it externally, or whether perhaps they too don't experience much but feel it is what it is and accept it without question, when perhaps they could be experiencing much more.
The number of men experimenting with semen retention, edging, etc in order to gain more of an experience also gets me wondering if many men are unsatisfied like me or somewhere else on a spectrum of experience from 4th July to a sneeze and wanting more rather than being addicted to an ever better rush."We all seek strong orgasms. It's how we rate sex - in whatever form the activity may take. But I think most men have a variety of orgasmic experiences, every thing from toe-curling, whole body clenching to a slight tightening and release of the abdomen. But it's worth asking.
Guys, on average, how strong are your orgasms?
