I’ve heard that you can stop ejaculation by doing kegel exercises, which will allow you to continue having sex after orgasm, is that true? Supposedly, orgasm and ejaculation are different events that naturally occur together in men. The ejaculatin part is said to be what makes your feel worn out and causes you to go flaccid, not the orgasm part. Thus, by stopping the ejaculation, you can have orgasm after orgasm, etc… ---

> [@Undrin](#): > > you can have orgasm after orgasm, etc… One of the things I am jealous of my g/f over. I will certainly follow the course of this thread. Here is a web page. I do not know if what they discuss is correct, but for what it’s worth: [Male multiple orgasm and becoming multi-orgasmic](http://www.whitelotuseast.com/MultipleOrgasm.htm) ---

Supposedly, orgasm and ejaculation are different events that naturally occur together in men. The ejaculatin part is said to be what makes your feel worn out and causes you to go flaccid, not the orgasm part. Thus, by stopping the ejaculation, you can have orgasm after orgasm, etc… In a book called _The Great Tao_, the author discusses this at length. He claims that if you apply pressure to a certain spot in the perianal area just before ejaculation, the semen will go into your bloodstream instead of out your penis. This spot is called the million dollar spot because it makes you feel like a million bucks. I’ve tried it. It didn’t work. ---

This technique is called _retrograde ejaculation._ However, it doesn’t stop the process, it just sends it in a different direction. The OP is going to need a different technique to achieve his goal. ---

It’s also possible to have orgasms while you are still too young to ejaculate. Again, from personal experience. (Many people are surprised to find this out.) ---

Isn’t retrograde ejaculation potentially troublesome? ---

> [@Zabali\_Clawbane](#): > > Isn’t retrograde ejaculation potentially troublesome? Yeah, it’s not good for your prostate, at least according to Dr. Drew on Loveline. It’s like holding in a sneeze. You can injure yourself when the body’s trying to eject something and you try to stop it. ---

You can get an ejaculation without the ejaculant. Pubescent boys get them usually. Or if you have been having sex all day without stop. Surprisingly, if you do this often, the amount of ejuaculant and the replenishment rate increases. And then things begin to hurt. :eek: ---

No one has mentioned prostate massage yet. Supposedly this produces a non-ejaculatory orgasm. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/can-you-have-an-orgasm-without-ejaculation/304274.md?page=2)
