• problems reaching climax I've tried masturbating, but I just can't bring myself to orgasm. What am I doing wrong? There seems to be a small percentage of males who have major problems masturbating to orgasm. This isn't a serious problem in itself, but it suggests you may have problems with completing intercourse later on, and I suggest you continue to work at it through masturbation. If you haven't seen them be sure to read (and re-read) the JackinHow-to section titled "But I Can't Ejaculate", as well as the Mental Masturbation article in JackinLibrary. • orgasming but not ejaculating 1. I can have an orgasm, but I don't ejaculate. Is there something wrong? 2. When I orgasm or come close to orgasm, I urinate a little instead of ejaculating. Is this bad? 3. When I masturbate I pinch the end of my penis (or) press the area between my scrotum and anus to keep the semen from coming out. Is this safe? I can have an orgasm, but I don't ejaculate. Is there something wrong? It depends. If you're still going through puberty, it's probably normal and you'll start to ejaculate before long. Boys usually start being able to ejaculate around age 13, but for others it can take a year or two longer. If you're age 16 or older and you still have never ejaculated, it's probably time to check with a doctor. When I orgasm or come close to orgasm, I urinate a little instead of ejaculating. Is this bad? Apparently this is fairly common with boys in the early stages of puberty, before the "plumbing" has fully matured to the point where everything goes down the right tubes at the right times. But this shouldn't be happening if you're pretty much done with puberty. If it is, check with a doctor. When I masturbate I pinch the end of my penis (or) press the area between my scrotum and anus to keep the semen from coming out. Is this safe? JackinWorld considers any technique that prevents the semen from leaving the body as unsafe. See: this JackinQ&A question. If you've been doing the technique for a long time, it may or may not have affected your fertility; only a doctor or fertility clinic could determine this for certain. • ejaculating but not orgasming I can ejaculate, but I'm not sure if I'm having an orgasm — it doesn't feel the way most people describe it. What's wrong? Orgasm intensity differs from person to person, as well as orgasm to orgasm. For some people an orgasm can be tremendously powerful; for others it can be mild or even virtually nonexistent. It can also change over time. The descriptions on JackinWorld about how an orgasm feels are just how most people experience them; it's by no means an absolute. That's about all we can tell you. • ejaculation force Is there any way I can make my semen "shoot" out of my penis? It just kind of dribbles out. That's normal. During ejaculation, different people eject the semen with different amounts of force. Unfortunately, no, as far as we know there really isn't much you can do about it. • eating semen 1. Is it safe to eat my own semen? 2. Is it normal (or is it "gay") to want to eat my semen? 3. None of the above Is it safe to eat my own semen? It is. Semen is completely non-toxic, and you can't catch any diseases from eating it (any more than you could from swallowing your own spit). Semen is mostly water, sugar, and proteins, so it's harmless. However — and this is important — you shouldn't eat anyone else's semen, since this can spread diseases. Is it normal (or is it "gay") to want to eat my semen? Among JackinWorld readers it certainly seems common. It doesn't mean you are gay if you want to eat your semen. You might just be curious about the taste. Or, since semen is so closely related to the joys of masturbation, sometimes you can get "caught up in the moment" and have a strong desire to eat it while you're masturbating. For many people, though, this desire goes away immediately after they ejaculate. None of the above Check the JackinIndex for your topic, and read JackinQ&A — Questions About Semen & Ejaculation. Or, submit your question for consideration for JackinQ&A. (Sorry, we don't answer questions individually.)

Is there any way I can increase the amount of semen I ejaculate? 3. My semen is clear, not white like other semen I've seen. What does this mean? 4. My semen looks yellowish. Is this normal? 5. My semen is sometimes kind of clumpy or gelatinous. Is this normal? 6. I ejaculated a little blood — should I be worried? 7. None of the above How much semen should I be ejaculating? The average amount is a teaspoonful or two, although it's normal to ejaculate more or less than that — from a couple drops to quite a lot. It takes only a single sperm cell to fertilize a woman's egg, so you aren't infertile if you ejaculate only a little. (For more, read JackinQ&A — Questions About Semen & Ejaculation.) Is there any way I can increase the amount of semen I ejaculate? There are two things you can do. One is to prolong your ejaculation session for as long as possible — when you're aroused, your sex organs gradually secrete the fluids that make up semen, so they build up over the course of a session. That's why you almost always ejaculate more following a long, intense session than during a "quickie." The other suggestion is to drink a couple glasses of water an hour or so before you masturbate — for some guys this increases the volume of the ejaculation. (For more, read JackinQ&A — Questions About Semen & Ejaculation.) My semen is clear, not white like other semen I've seen. What does this mean? Nothing, really. Semen color and consistency vary from person to person, and even for one person it can vary over time. Contrary to popular belief, having milky semen does not necessarily mean you are more fertile or "potent" than someone with clearer semen. (For more, read JackinQ&A — Questions About Semen & Ejaculation.) My semen looks yellowish. Is this normal? Yes. Semen can vary in color from white to gray to clear to yellowish to even a little brownish. (For more, read JackinQ&A — Questions About Semen & Ejaculation.) My semen is sometimes kind of clumpy or gelatinous. Is this normal? Yes. There are components in the semen that gel a little, like water and powdered Jell-O. For some people this gelling action is quite strong, making the semen appear clumpy. It's normal and does not affect your fertility. (For more, read JackinQ&A — Questions About Semen & Ejaculation.) I ejaculated a little blood — should I be worried? Not necessarily. Occasionally a little blood will find its way into the semen — the same way every once in a while you can have a nosebleed for no reason at all. If there's a lot of blood, or if it's happening again and again, you should probably check with a doctor. (For more, read JackinQ&A — Questions About Semen & Ejaculation.)

I feel guilty or stupid after I masturbate. Is that normal? 3. None of the above I feel sleepy after I ejaculate. Why? First, because masturbation can be pretty exhausting, and second, because there's a release of hormones in your body at orgasm that tend to make us feel sleepy or "dopey" for a while. It's all normal. I feel guilty or stupid after I masturbate. Is that normal? It's certainly very common. Depending on your upbringing, feelings afterwards can range from "I should try to masturbate less often" to "I'm going to burn in hell!" Part of the guilt comes from the mental "coming down" after an orgasm, which is largely a response to the flood of hormones that happens in your body. Just consider them a curious and normal part of the masturbation process. As far as burning in hell, we don't pretend to be religious leaders — but you should know that at least in Christianity and Judaism, there's nothing in the Bible that specifically says masturbation is wrong or sinful. If it really concerns you, discuss the matter directly with your minister, priest, or rabbi.

Does masturbation affect eyesight, cause insanity, or grow hair on your palms? 3. Does masturbation affect the growth of the penis or the puberty process? 4. Does masturbation cause acne? 5. None of the above Is masturbation harmful in any way? No. Aside from a little temporary soreness if you use too much pressure, masturbate very often, or don't use lubrication, masturbation has no lasting effects on the human body. Does masturbation affect eyesight, cause insanity, or grow hair on your palms? No. These are silly old wives' tales. See JackinMyths for more crazy stories. Does masturbation affect the growth of the penis or the puberty process? No. Some people seem to be convinced masturbation makes your penis grow longer, while others think it stunts the growth. Neither is true, and it does not affect the rate at which you go through puberty. Does masturbation cause acne? No. There are some JackinWorld readers who are absolutely convinced masturbation causes acne, since whenever they "quit" masturbating for a while their skin clears up, and when they resume masturbating their acne comes back. But what's happening is either a coincidence, or both their acne and their urgent need to masturbate are being caused by the same hormonal cycles. Maybe they feel a little guilty that they need to masturbate so often, so they put the two together. But the truth is they're independent and have nothing to do with each other.

How can I ask my friend (or relative) if he masturbates? 3. None of the above How can I ask my friend (or relative) to masturbate with me? This is one of the most common reader questions. One of our Questions of the Week — this one — dealt with that topic. For more, see some of the questions in JackinQ&A — Questions About Dealing with Other Males. However, please keep in mind that it isn't a good idea for two people to do anything sexually with each other if there's too large an age difference between them. In some cases, the older person could get into trouble with the law for doing this, depending on how the laws work in your particular state or country. How can I ask my friend (or relative) if he masturbates? It helps to talk about yourself first, rather than just coming out and asking — if you're honest he's more likely to be honest, too.
