If you thought that men can only orgasm<\/a> by ejaculating<\/a>, well, you\u2019d be sorely mistaken.<\/p>\n Guys can actually experience six different types of orgasm<\/a>.<\/p>\n That\u2019s right, it\u2019s not just female pleasure that can feel complex and multifaceted. There\u2019s a whole world of orgasmic sexual pleasure for men that can be unlocked.<\/p>\n But what are these different orgasms and how do you achieve them? <\/p>\n Lorraine Grover, Psychosexual Therapist and Nurse Specialist, tells Metro <\/strong>that these big Os are each triggered in slightly different ways.<\/p>\n \u2018Many men don\u2019t realise you can even orgasm without an erection,\u2019 she says. \u2018Understanding the different types of orgasm can help reduce pressure and improve pleasure.\u2019<\/p>\n It should be noted that not everyone will be able to achieve every type of orgasm, and \u2018that\u2019s okay\u2019. \u2018Some men are more physically or emotionally tuned in, while others may need time, support or better health foundations. The key is curiosity, not comparison,\u2019 Lorraine adds.<\/p>\n \t\t Well we asked a pharmacist and a sex expert to talk us through each one, and unlock this treasure trove of pleasure\u2026<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tSign up to The Hook-Up, Metro’s sex and dating newsletter\t\t\t<\/p>\n Love reading juicy stories like this?

We can’t wait for you to join us!<\/p>\n Ejaculation<\/p>\n This is the most familiar form of climax for men, and it\u2019s the one we see in movies and popular culture.<\/p>\n \u2018It\u2019s the release of semen from the penis<\/a> during orgasm<\/a> which is usually achieved through physical or physiological sexual arousal,\u2019 Superintendent pharmacist, Abbas Kanani, tells Metro<\/strong>.<\/p>\n He explains there are two key phases to achieving this climax. \u2018The first is emission, where sperm moves from the testicles to the urethra and mixes with prostate and seminal vesicles fluids,\u2019 he says. <\/p>\n \u2018The second is the ejaculatory phase, where pelvic muscles contract and push semen out through the urethra.\u2019<\/p>\n Psychosexual therapist Lorraine says it feels like a short, rhythmic release of tension with pelvic muscle contractions.<\/p>\n But just because it\u2019s the most common type of orgasm<\/a> doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s always easy to reach. After all, only 60% of men reach this type of orgasm everytime they have sex.<\/p>\n \t\t \u2018It still depends on healthy erections and arousal. If orgasm feels weak or hard to reach, it\u2019s often a sign to look at the foundations \u2014 blood flow, confidence, and timing,\u2019 Lorraine adds.<\/p>\n Pelvic<\/p>\n Into less familiar territory now, with pelvic orgasms, which are\u2026 less explosive.<\/p>\n These orgasms are a result of pelvic floor contractions<\/a>, which can be achieved with little to no touch, according to Lorraine. They may not involve ejaculation at all.<\/p>\n She says: \u2018This orgasm feels like internal pulsations radiating through the lower body.\u2019<\/p>\n Pharmacist Kanani explains that practising pelvic floor exercises can help increase the intensity of these orgasms, which can be achieved by contracting your pelvic floor during sex.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tYou need to ejaculate HOW many times a month to help prevent prostate cancer?\t\t\t<\/p>\n Orgasms are pretty great, but for men it turns out\u00a0ejaculating\u00a0<\/a>very\u00a0regularly could also significantly reduce the risk of prostate\u00a0cancer<\/a>.<\/p>\n In fact, if you ejaculate once every day you really limit the chances, while another study suggests that a staggering 21 orgasms a month reduces the likelihood of\u00a0prostate cancer\u00a0by 20%.<\/p>\n This comes as\u00a0new research<\/a>\u00a0found global deaths from the disease are likely to double in the next 20 years.<\/p>\n \u2018By doing this, men can also control ejaculation, maintain an erection and enhance their orgasm,\u2019 he adds.<\/p>\n If this is something you struggle with, Lorraine suggests devices like Vertica, which boost blood flow and help maintain erection quality, to increase your chances. \u2018They don\u2019t cause orgasm directly \u2014 but they support the physical ability to reach and enjoy one.\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t This one\u2019s more of a slow build and it sounds pretty earth shattering. Some may get a little shy, as this one is typically achieved through anal sex, but it promises unparalleled pleasure, according to the experts.<\/p>\n For context, the prostate<\/a>\u00a0is\u00a0a walnut-shaped gland in your pelvis that rests beneath your bladder\u00a0and in front of your rectum, which is why it can be stimulated with anal.<\/p>\n \u2018Yes, this orgasm is achieved by the stimulation of the prostate gland through anal but it can also be achieved by stimulating the perineum \u2013 the external area between your genitals and rectum,\u2019 Lorraine explains.<\/p>\n \u2018This orgasm feels like a slow build to a powerful, full-body release.\u2019<\/p>\n Pharmacist Kanani adds that these orgasms are thought to be felt more intensely that an ejaculatory orgasm, but research is limited.<\/p>\n \u2018They can be incredibly intense,\u2019 Lorraine agrees. \u2018But many men avoid them due to stigma or nerves. Once men feel safe and curious, they often describe it as one of the most rewarding kinds of climax.\u2019<\/p>\n Dry<\/p>\n The moral of this sexy story is that you don\u2019t need to cum to climax.<\/p>\n \u2018A man can achieve climax without ejaculating or releasing even a small amount of semen,\u2019 pharmacist Kanani explains.<\/p>\n \t\t He adds that this orgasm is achieved in the same way as an ejaculatory orgasm<\/a>, and feels the same, although Lorraine adds that it\u2019s like \u2018a more focused climax with less intensity but faster recovery.\u2019<\/p>\n She says: \u2018These often occur in men who have practised edging and control, or if they\u2019ve had multiple orgasms beforehand.\u2019<\/p>\n While these are a perfectly legitimate form of orgasm, pharmacist Kanani adds that if dry orgasms begin to happen frequently for you, you should consult a doctor, as it could indicate an underlying health condition.<\/p>\n Blended<\/p>\n What\u2019s better than an orgasm? More than one climax, simultaneously.<\/p>\n Lorraine explains: \u2018A blended orgasm<\/a> combines stimulation of the penis and prostate, creating a deeper, more layered orgasm.\u2019<\/p>\n It feels like \u2018surface-level pleasure merged with a deeper full-body release\u2019.<\/p>\n \u2018Delayed ejaculation and kegel exercises help to achieve this type of orgasm, allowing for a build up of tension without ejaculation,\u2019 pharmacist Kanani adds. \u2018This can lead to multiple orgasms once ejaculation occurs.\u2019<\/p>\n The top tip (no pun intended) here is to relax and take your time to experiment, rather than rushing to the finish line.\u00a0<\/p>\n Multiple<\/p>\n Finishing off (sorry!) we have multiple orgasms, and this is essentially what it says on the tin: lots of orgasms in close succession.<\/p>\n \t\t In some bad new though, Kanani explains that this is a \u2018rare\u2019 occurence.<\/p>\n \u2018It\u2019s harder to achieve for men because most men enter the refractory period where\u00a0they become less responsive to sexual stimulation,\u2019 he explains.<\/p>\n Lorraine adds that if you are going to unlock this level of pleasure, the first orgasm typically needs to be a dry one.<\/p>\n If you do manage it, she says: \u2018It feels like successive waves of pleasure with little or no need for a break.\u2019<\/p>\n \u00a0\u2018These aren\u2019t common, but they are real. It takes awareness, confidence, and physical control. Let go of goal-oriented sex \u2014 when you focus on sensation over outcome, your body often surprises you.\u2019<\/p>\n Do you have a story to share?<\/strong><\/p>\n Get in touch by emailing MetroLifestyleTeam@Metro.co.uk<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Arrow Arrow![\"Hidden](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/SEI_255630977-60a3.jpg\")
