Non Ejaculatory Orgasm

Definition: This term refers to the physiological and/or psychological experience of an orgasm (usually a male orgasm) which is not accompanied by ejaculation. While it is commonly understood that women can have orgasms without the emission of ejaculatory fluid, it is incorrectly thought that men must ejaculate when they experience orgasm, or that in men, orgasm and ejaculation are the same experience. This is not the case for men, and men can learn to distinguish the two experiences of orgasm and ejaculation. When they learn this technique, they can often prevent ejaculation immediately following orgasm, and experience what are called non-ejaculatory orgasms.
