Problems of Orgasm - Absence of Orgasm

Virtually all men who achieve an erection of the penis also achieve orgasm. That is to say, in contrast to many women who have difficulty going beyond the plateau phase, men can normally count on completing their sexual response cycle. However, there are some rare cases where men can reach orgasm only through self-stimulation or certain specific forms of sexual intercourse. For example, a man may be unable to have an orgasm as long as his penis is inside a woman's vagina or in her mouth. Thus, a woman who wants to become pregnant or who enjoys swallowing semen may find herself disappointed. Her partner can easily maintain an erection, but he reaches orgasm (and therefore ejaculates) only after he has either withdrawn from her body or completely removed himself for her presence.
