NOTE: I am not seeking medical advice. I will follow up with my doc if that’s what’s recommended by this thread. Anyway, the past two times I’ve, uh, _you know_, there was definite ejaculation and no orgasm. IOW, I could feel the expulsion from Mr. Happy, but there was no body-wide feeling of awesomeness that results from orgasm. In fact, I felt utterly unfulfilled. Is this a sign of a prostate problem? Aging (I’m pushing 40)? Normal sexual response that I haven’t experienced until now? 😕 ---

Welcome to your 40s. Be happy you can even get the bullets out of the chamber. And start looking for your project car. ---

> [@HeyHomie](#): > > Heh. Those bullets have been duds since that visit to the urologist’s office a few years ago… Yeah, but as you get older the caliber goes from .44 magnum down to .22 short. I’m 49 and can attest to the diminished sensation of the male orgasm. May I suggest male kegel exercises? [Welcome to your 40’s](http://www.amiright.com/parody/80s/gunsnroses33.shtml) ---

Dude TMI threads are so lame. We got _nothin’_ on chick TMI threads. I mean, “Help! I’m shooting blood!” or “Dang, I left a condom on for 6 days and didn’t notice!” are really unlikely topics. ---

As the T-shirt says, “You know you’re getting old when… It takes all night to do what you used to do all night.” Or as I like to remind people, when I have those Alzheimer moments: “They say the mind is the second thing to go…” ---

I got that when fucking my ex towards the end of our relationship, before I started just faking the damn things completely. ---

I thought [Kramer was the only dude that faked it](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlpD2Ata8kI). At about 2:55. ---

Yes, you can have ejaculation without orgasm. You can also have orgasm without ejaculation. And you can also have either one, or both, without an erection. We can multitask, but we don’t always need to. ---

I’ve been having the problem of drastically reduced volume and velocity for a while, and it sucks. I agree it’s probably age-related. Thanks to some BPH meds, I have also had the opposite problem- retrograde ejac. It sucks just as much. But every now and then, when the planets are aligned and the timing is just right, I can shoot like I did when I was 20. Often catches the wife off guard, but we have a good laugh about it afterward.
