Ejaculating but feeling no orgasm

Hello, I am a perfectly healthy and fine 16 year old boy. I have never had sex so the chances of this being an STD are ruled out. I'm not sure why this happens but I can feel all of the pleasure of masturbation up until ejaculation where feeling stops and I don't feel an orgasm at all but I still ejaculate. This has been happening every single time I've masturbated for about the past two or three months. I have no clue what's happening, what is wrong with me? Any ideas?

I took more than just antidepressants after an accident with brain trauma and I truly mean a long list of different drugs including Prozac, Oxycontin, etc, heavy pain killers, anti psychotic drugs, sleeping pills, anti anxiety pills for 12 years.  When I stopped taking all these drugs because I got fed up with taking pills to live on I had your same problem.  These drugs mess with the chemicals in your brain. Finally after 3 years my brain chemistry went back to normal and I have no more problems with orgasm. It takes a while before your brain gets back to functioning like it should.  I stress the fact be careful in the future for anyone that even though these drugs prescribed by the medical professionals are to relieve symptoms they also lead to many other problems. Ask any doctor and he will tell you that there is always side effects to any prescribed drug and even over the counter drugs. The biggest fear after not having an orgasm is if it will happen again.  Don't even think about an orgasm, just think about what enjoyment you are having with sex, whether masturbation or not. I know it is hard for some people to step out of the box of thinking negative thoughts but if I did it anyone can do it.  Use your imagination and focus on a fantasy of your own and you will receive that wonderful orgasm and just keep doing this over and over again and your brains chemistry will automatically respond to your feelings. Your brains chemistry releases many hormones in your entire body and some of these hormones trigger ejaculation and orgasms.  I hope this helps to the many people that think there is something wrong with them.

Okay. I need some extra Advice. My boyfriend has just randomly stopped feeling orgasms but he still ejaculates. Can you please help me find a reason for this? He's only ever smoked weed and 1 year ago he took viagra. One day he could orgasm. The next he Couldn't. I just need some advice on how he can orgasm again because he's too embarrassed to say anything to anyone himself.. Please help (ASAP)
I wish I never took antidepressants this clearly had to be a side effect for using it for so long ... forgot how long 2 years maybe it also messed up my bph levels clearly making me feel like I had to **** and wake up my Dr blamed my age clearly not the case ... my **** issues have gotten better since I stopped taken it but be careful stopping it made me dizzy as hell for a few days now if I can feel my nuts again ... I would be so happy ... the side effects might be worth it to some not me it;s made me more stressed I hope I don't have to wait years for feeling again but you've gave me some hope anyways

Hi Jocko25. You actually posted your question on my birthday back in 2014 haha.

Please read my post at the bottom. It sounds like you're issue is more prolonged than mine. Not sure about your particular case, but mine did resolve after a few years.

Good luck!

Maybe the urologist is "technically" correct. However an orgasm at only 5% sensation of it's maximum does not really count as an orgasm if you ask me.

Go see someone else.

No, the urologist is 100% wrong. Anyone who has dealt with anorgasmia has studied enough to know this urologist is an idiot; orgasm and ejaculation occur close together normally, but not always. Some men with anorgasmia will ejaculate perfectly fine, but will not experience orgasm. It's sort of interesting how mother nature will make sure we spill the seed to further our breed.

"I can feel all of the pleasure of masturbation up until ejaculation where feeling stops and I don't feel an orgasm at all but I still ejaculate"

I want to throw my hat the ring here. This was something I experienced frequently during my early-to-mid 20's for several years. It was concerning me so much I took my concern to a urologist for his thoughts. I even went through a period where I sometimes was firing blanks. It largely resolved itself in my late 20's thankfully.

There are many factors to it...

1. The largest sex organ in the body is the brain:

If you're stressed about life, possibly experiencing some symptoms of depression (I ticked both boxes there) then that will have a direct affect on your minds ability to express pleasure too you ( because after all, it is the brain that provides the illusion that is all our senses. What we feel, touch, smell, taste etc. Our different body parts feed the brain with this information and it is the brain that then interprets them into what we believe are the sensations we experience (e.g. hot, cold, sweet, bitter etc).

It probably has something to do with creating a chemical imbalance in some areas of the brain, maybe due to a lack of endorphins this results in areas of the brain not being stimulated to their full extent.

Something to think about.....It's worth trying masturbating without watching a porn video but to instead lie down and fantasise in your mind! This alone will activate your brain more and reduce worldly distraction which can also be beneficial. Also try a few different lubes.


2. Penile sensitivity:

Pretty simple stuff, just touch your bits less and they'll become more sensitive the next time you do.


3. Fluid level:

I probably should have asked the urologist some more questions (was a little shy at the time) but he seemed to be of the opinion that there is also a correlation between intensity of orgasm and quantity of ejaculate (I think). Anyhow, I do know personally that when I have an incredible orgasm (sadly rare) my level of ejaculatory fluid is much higher than usual. So similar to penile sensitivity, if you give yourself a longer period between ejaculations you will have more fluids stored and this may also help.

4. Just listen to your body:

We're organic beings, not machines. We have ups and downs. Sometimes you will be on, sometimes you won't. And sometimes the brain will be horny but the penis will not (that one's a mystery to me, but sometimes my mind is craving being inside a woman, but my penis is all like "don't touch me!". I don't get it)

I hope my contribution here may help in some way to anyone out there who has or is experiencing a similar problem.

Stay positive !!

My new boyfriend is incredibly skilled at making me *** and seems to enjoy every moment of our time together, yet he is having problems maintaining erection and cumming himself.  Today, he totally ejaculacted but he had no orgasm (no moaning/talk-out-loud release as my prior BFs had).  (Ironic since I hardly ever used to orgasm with my prior relationships. I am now experiencing the flipside).  

I always thought they (ejaculation of fluid and orgasmic feelings) were linked.  He seems 100% turned on and engaged in our lovemaking AND I want to see him enjoy himself fully.  I don't want to over analyze this, but I do want to see him experience pleasure.  His pleasure is important to me. We are in our late 40s/early 50s so low T might be an issue which he is awaiting test results on.

Any clues into this are welcomed.  I have not had sex in many years so perhaps some of this is mid-life stuff that I simply am not privy to.  All I know is that I wish to give him as much pleasure as he gives me.

I don't think it has to do with age since I'm a young fella and I'm having same problem as everybody on this forum including your boyfriend.Your boyfriend is enjoying the process because this is the part where he gets the most pleasure.During intercourse or masturbation he feels pleasure building up as usualy but when its time to ejaculate he feels like he is about to orgasm and the next second all feeling of pleasure fades away in an instant leaving him just with the process of ejaculation and no pleasure at all.Its realy frustrating.I have this **** since 22 years old and now I'm 28.At this point I don't even want sex anymore.So let your boyfriend enjoy the process prior to ejaculation,this is the best he gets.
good advice bro
