Orgasmic Variety
By the Sex Coach

In terms of orgasms and sex education, most boys start out shooting in the dark, learning about their bodies on the go-as-you-grow plan. Lack of information and sexual habit lead many men to assume that all orgasms are the same. Actually, they encompass a wide range from very meek to very wild.

From lack of knowledge and the right experience, many men are unaware of some of the basics, such as the fact that orgasm and ejaculation are two separate events. They are usually layered on top of each other so that an ejaculation feels orgasmic. However, men can have orgasms without ejaculating—it’s surprising that so many guys and their lovers don’t know that.

Orgasm is really a package plan. It’s a physical release, but what really makes it intense—or not—is the mental and emotional accompaniment. Sometimes the physical pleasure intensifies the mental and emotional excitement. Sometimes the flood of emotions pumps the physical pleasure to bold new heights.

While every man is unique, some factors dull an orgasm—exhaustion, stress, guilt, fear, substance abuse, some medications, boredom, haunting memories, low self-esteem. Some factors enhance an orgasm—good health, relaxation, intimacy, love, heightened sensuality, erotic novelty, delayed gratification, freedom of sexual expression, passion.

The Low Road
The lowest levels of orgasmic response are the bare minimum, sex under the most unappealing of conditions. Sometimes you might ejaculate and feel next to nothing, a mistimed squirt. Maybe you’re providing a sperm sample or maybe you’re trying to have sex with your entirely exhausted body—it’s a dull dribbler.

Not much better is when fear, resentment, acute sexual boredom, depression, or something else eclipses your sexual interest. Perhaps you consent to have sex with someone even though your heart and mind really aren’t into it; you’re too shy or embarrassed to say no. In the end, you feel empty.

Middle of the Road
The mid-range of orgasmic response features pleasing yet relatively unemotional sex. Fast-food recreational sex could be anything from masturbating to porn to friendship sex to pleasant yet routine sex with a spouse or lover. Like a first cup of coffee or a beer after work, it’s both expected and habitual.

The intrigue suddenly spikes when something new gets added—a new partner, a new way of having sex, or new surroundings. Variety is the spice of life, and the pattern gets broken. It could be a vacation to a resort, hot tub party, a surprised shaved pussy, a visit to a swing club, a threesome, a bondage experiment, watching porn together, or a zillion other things. Whatever it is, it charges the air with excitement.

Then comes love. Love adds a whole new dimension to sex. As soon as some bewitching person casts a spell on you, sex is not the same. While orgies can be wildly thrilling, nothing has the long-lasting staying power as sex with someone you respect. The thrill of being loved is knowing that somebody accepts you, delights in you, and is hungry for you.

New lovers, in particular, heap tons of affection onto each other. As love cascades into sex, more sensuality enters the arena: hand-holding, face-caressing, gentle touching, deep kissing, passionate hugging, and contented cuddling.  Expanding sensuality often brings surprising new intensity to orgasms.

Sometimes new love comes at the expense of old love, such as with extramarital affairs. A fresh new face (and mind) can awaken us from the doldrums, with amazingly hot sex that leads to sumptuous, emotion-filled orgasms. Unfortunately, this route often leads to tremendous frustration and marital disaster as a by-product.

The High Road
Orgasmic response deepens when emotions run high, and nothing does that more than being naked—physically, mentally, emotionally. When someone loves you and wants you even with all your dark secrets laid bare, you’ve struck gold. A couple that has weathered several emotional storms, confessions, and disasters shares a deeper connection than a dreamy-eyed couple still feeding on shared fantasies.

So what does this have to do with orgasms? The less you have to hide from someone, the freer you feel to be yourself. You let go of all inhibitions and all hesitancy. Emotions gush, love abounds, and that leads to exquisite sex with head-spinning orgasms.

Besides having emotional rapport, couples with history together play with each other’s secret turn-ons. Crawling all around inside someone’s mind, they know just what words to whisper hotly, just what fantasy images to share, just what body poses to strike, just what sensations to provide. They know just what to do and when.

It also takes deep trust for many people to explore their riskier sexual fantasies, and this can lead to awesome experiences. People at this level experience sex with a sense of childlike wonder wrapped in adult respect for each other. It’s sex with integrity, and whatever happens here is fine because no one makes crass, insensitive demands.

From this level, some people venture into exploring the spiritual side of sex. This blending of Eros and holiness creates a profound experience filled with deeply personal meaning. Sex on the high road is not about athletic performance, sex toys, or erotic costumes; it’s about heart and soul. All sex is fabulous because you’re loving each other more than proving how great you are. In this frame of mind, mere cuddling, combined with meditative consciousness, can produce full-bodied shudders of delicious intensity sometimes called energy orgasms.

The high road also includes multiple orgasms for both men and women. Nature may have intended multiple orgasms to be a natural way to experience prolonged ecstasy. By being in a shared heightened orgasmic state for five minutes to an hour or more, your brain enters an ecstatic state. Wave after wave of orgasmic feeling crashes through you, leaving you basking in an incredible glow—a true ecstatic experience. No wonder the famous sexologist Havelock Ellis wrote, “Sexual pleasure, widely used and not abused, may prove the stimulus and liberation of our finest and most exalted activities.”
