Do any of you have orgasms without ejaculating?
First, for everyone who does not know, ejaculation and orgasm are two very different processes and can occur independently of each other. It is also possible to withold ejaculation both forward (the usual) and/or backward (unusual). Backward is called “retrograde ejaculation” wherein you do actually ejaculate, however your semen flows backward and up into the bladder instead of out through the urethra. As lilwang says, backward is a harmless event in itself.
It is important to be able to distinguish between a non-ejaculation (semen going neither forward nor backward) but an orgasm occuring nonetheless for this reason: If one habitually causes a retrograde ejaculation in either the manner in which you can do it, lil, or through Kegel clamping-down or Eastern mental process, it is possible to weaken the valve between the prostate and the seminal vessicles which normally prevents retrograde ejaculation.
The result of this weakening is more and more frequent retrograde ejaculations, whether you want them or not, to the point where you are shooting backward most or all of the time, like it or not. In childbearing years, this can mean that you can only impregnate your wife/gf artificially through retreival of your semen from the urine coming from your bladder after ejaculation. If kids are not on your agenda, though, retrograde is probably a moot point except that for some guys, retrograde does not feel nearly as good as a forward ejaculation and I am one of those.
I don’t get some of the hositility in this otherwise anatomically-oriented thread. If you want to learn, don’t pick fights with fellow members or mods.
Westla took some of his good time to provide links which do relate to ejaculation/orgasm, lil; and for the rest of us, if lil wants to shoot backward, so what to us who may prefer to ejaculate forward or have multiple, non-ejaculatory orgasms? What is to get pissed off about here?
That having been said, let’s move forward with good discussion.
