Jealous Much
Dear readers, I have fallen victim to jealousy (I know, I know. You’re shocked. I mean, who would have thought that I would fall victim to one of the seven deadly sins? Certainly not you, right? Right? Smartass). I am jealous of the female orgasm. I have come to the conclusion that women, when they get off, get off to a degree that men can only imagine. After a particularly good bout of sex, women lose the ability to talk, they make noises that can’t possibly be human, and they completely lose the ability to focus, sometimes for as long as fifteen minutes. Men, well, our orgasms are like reruns: they’re always pretty much the same and they don’t have “levels” (whatever the hell that means. Oh, and while we’re here, could some female please write out a list outlining the different levels of the female orgasm? You know, for science and all). Don’t get me wrong, I love my orgasms, but when I finish having sex, I can typically have the orgasm, get out of bed, put on my clothes, pop a beer and return to the bedroom to find my partner still biting the pillow and enjoying the warm embrace of what looks like some kind of bizarre trance. Earlier in my adolescence, I used to marvel at my ability to make this happen for women. Now, I marvel at the actual orgasm itself.
And I’m jealous.
Now, women have to do a lot of stuff that sucks (no pun intended). They have to wear makeup, pay ridiculous amounts for clothing, put up with insensitive jackasses, have periods, go through mood swings and hang out with female friends, so perhaps they deserve a little kickback. But this orgasm thing, well, it just seems unfair.
(Right now, every woman reading this is thinking something along the lines of: “Fair. You wanna talk about fair? Let’s talk about oppression and rape. Let’s talk about bloating and childbirth. Let’s not even mention the fact that we can’t pee standing up. Oh, and don’t get me started on that Freud jackass you sexist dick…” And I’d love to hear the rest, really, I would, but I’m making a point here).
I believe that if we men were blessed with an orgasm the likes of which most women enjoy, we would never leave the house. I mean ever. Sometimes, I look at a woman after sex, and the expression on her face can best be compared to the faces of gasoline huffing adolescents (right before they pass out in the driveway in a puddle of their own saliva). And I can’t help but wonder why God wouldn’t want men to experience this sensation.
And then I realized, God doesn’t want men to be that happy because we’re not as important to the grand scheme. When my brother Jay got out of the military, he explained to me that one of the more important things he had learned in that man’s army was that men are way more expendable than women. We rely on women to raise children, to feed and to nurture them. We rely on men to kill people, get the barbecue working and fix the sink. If you had thirty women and one man, you could make thirty more children in one year. If you had thirty men and one woman, you’d have one very frustrated woman and several dead men and perhaps a child within a year. For this reason and this reason alone, women are more important than men. And I think that God, on the whole, has tried to reflect this in his design. Women are, after all, more complex and more given to compassion and caring (I mean think about it guys. Could you fall in love with a male personality? It’s impossible. We’re apes). And I guess part of this grand design (so to speak) is to allow women to feel—and I mean really feel—the beauty of sex.
And for this, I am jealous.

I don't have this particular issue. But I'll sit back and watch the orgasm love pour in from all the other lucky bitches.
orgasms come in 3 levels...well mine do anyway.
there's good...it's mellow but still enjoyable
there's great...extremities go numb, the moaning gets louder and more intense
then's there's my personal favorit, FUCKING AMAZING!!!..where everything goes numb, you lose complete control, the moaning turns to something inhuman and and the sensation is so intense it seems to go on forever until you think you're gonna explode.
there's no other feeling like it
I probably could squeeze out a few levels.
1. Like Genevieve said, mellow... almost like a really good backcrack sigh all in one. Like a downward feeling of just calmness.
2. Good with some heavy breathing and some convulsions. Makes you say "whew."
3. Great glazing-eyes-over orgasm that turns you into a puddle.
4. Fantastic never ending fullbody I'm not moving if the world crashes orgasm.
5. Finally: the blackout- female ejacuation (not a myth), g-spot, the ultimate indescribable rare event.
This new writing of yours is fucking fantastic. Your columns/posts are becoming regular parts in my conversations. I know, I'm a dork. But whatever, keep writing.
All right, is there somewhere I can sign up to be your understudy? All I get in my comments are women correcting my mistakes.
Spot on, Graaf. Not only do females benefit from better orgasms, it falls upon us to deliver them. It is 4 times (exactly 4) as hard to give a woman an orgasm as a man. Compound this to the fact that women can convincingly fake orgasms, at least those of the level one variety (this being of course a purely scientific distinction), and I think we have the most convinving argument to date for equality of the sexes.
X, thanks for the scientific work there. And by the way, I think you're the first person to ever call me "Graaf." That has to mean something right? Don't answer that.
Chad, there are no understudt positions available at The Nate Way. I am, however, looking for a (very) personal secretary. And since I have no phone and no office, well, there wouldn't be much clerical work for her (and yes, it must be a her). So, sorry.
Paige and Genevieve, thanks for the descriptions. Keep having orgasms and I'll keep writing (wow, there's an easy deal, huh?).
Lulu, I'm sorry, Babe. I wish there was something I could do to help.
"I believe that if we men were blessed with an orgasm the likes of which most women enjoy, we would never leave the house."
why do you think that women were so domesticated for so long. I cant help but want to cherish and nurish anyone that makes me orgasm regularly. Its why women have a hard time being friends with benefits.
That's an aweful photo.
Clearly you guys are not dating the right women. I know for a fact that men can have different levels of orgasms :)
Hey, last anonymous person (or any other guy out there that has experienced this), it would really be awdsome to hear a description of these male orgasm levels. You know, for science and all.
What about this ..
Stimulation of the prostate gland in males has been compared to stimulation of the G-spot in women in that prostate stimulation can result in a more powerful orgasm.
Would this not make for a different level of orgasm for men ..well the ones willing to try it anyways ???
yu guys really are apes
http://www.sex-project.com/multiplemale.shtml
nate, ejaculation and orgasms can be seperated. shit, doctors can get you to cum just by pressing your prostate gland even with a limp dick. you think you're good at sex now, wait till you learn how to control your pc muscle. not only will you be in heaven yourself (and yes each successive orgasm is more intense than the previous), but women will also think you're god's gift to them. hope this helps and keep up the writing.
Robbie, thanks for the tip. I'll be looking into this in great detail tomorrow. I promise I'll keep writing if you keep trying to improve male orgasms. And yes, I couldn't be prouder of this comment box right now. Seriously, you guys are the best. I mean that (*fights back tears*). Thanks again.

Why are guys apes??? I think its only natural for men to want to have what us girls have ... there is nothing wrong with everybody leaving the bedroom or where ever :) ...completely satified is there ??
I need sex just as much as my guy does .. and I want him satisfied and coming back for more...
XOXO
Heather
P.S.
I wrote both of the entries below .. so am I the APE ??

That makes a lot more sense. I was wondering what the hell kind of guy uses smiley faces while typing, and still manages to date a female who gives him a hierarchy of orgasms.
To heather: defensive much? I was just agreeing with something in the article, yu hot tempered, prostate stimulating, sex goddess. Don't take it so personaly.
There are different levels of male orgasm.
There's the standard: put it in, pound away and blow;
The level 2: swaeting brow, difficulty breathing and a fair bit of lightheadedness;
And finally The level three (or what my boy likes to call the 180): drenched in sweat, breathing harder than a motherfucker, temporarily blinded and a loss of basic motor function (speech, walking etc.). This level can only be attained in special circumstances and only with some partners, because it requires a certain level of skill, determination, dexterity and endurance that not all females possess...
Herbal enhancement can also heighten the experience.
Nathan, it's totally possible for guys to receive mind-melting, fire-gasping orgasms too. Research for it I suppose, experiment in the bedroom. Even if you don't get there immediately it'll be a whole load of fun trying. ;)
Great article Nathan.
I think most men probably feel jealous of women's sexual abilities to some degree or another. It's part of the reason why lesbian porn is so popular. Really, what is a guy fantasizing about when he watches that stuff if not that he's a woman having sex with another woman?
Growing up I never really envied girls. Sure, I was kind of jealous of the perks that came with being a girl (Daddy treating you like a princess, teachers letting you get away with murder, Take Your Daughter to Work Day, etc), but I still liked being a boy. That was until I started having sex. I soon noticed the exact same thing that you did; namely, that women enjoyed sex (and orgasms in particular) orders of magnitude more than men. And not only did they enjoy it much, much more, they could get it whenever they wanted and spent far less time obsessing over it. And then I started thinking, What is so great about being a man in this day and age? Women can do anything you can, plus give birth, they live longer than you, they're not considered expendable to die in war--why exactly should I be glad to be a man?
Most men would probably come to the same conclusions that I have were it not for feminine guilt. Women are so good at manipulating men that they actually have us feeling sorry for them because they're the ones that get pregnant. Ask a women who's been pregnant to give you her honest opinion of it. Once she gets beyond bitching about morning sickness, cravings and all that stuff, she'll probably say the same thing every woman I've asked thus far has said: that it was the most rewarding experience of their life. Despite their complaints, women really do love being women and they wouldn't have it any other way.
If I could go back in time and choose which gender I'd be born into, I would definitely choose to be female.
Actually I'd like to hook up with someone that does that to me.I have only experienced that awesome level once in my life( for two years in a relationship)and can't seem to find it again
this story and the replies to it makes me wish i was a girl :(
As a female in the Army, there are issues. Lots of issues. Mainly, why aren't females in the infantry? Seriously I don't really care. I'm a Human Resource Information Systems Management Specialist..aka secretary, or a 'pogue' as many like to call it. And it kicks ass. What do I do all day? Paperwork. I look at personnel files. It gets boring at times, but the benefits are awesome, and I love being in the military. I haven't been deployed yet, (But I'm going in August to Baghdad..) but from what I hear, if you're even a slightly attractive female, (6 out of 10) you are treated like a goddess. Guys everywhere want you.
I recently had an interesting conversation with a good buddy of mine who is in Iraq right now. He said he basically feels like a piece of meat...women can choose what they want to do with whoever they want. Men don't have it nearly as lucky. We can get it, any time, any where. Which is why we get a reputation of being slutty. I personally won't be partaking in this, seeing that I'm getting married in July (wooohoo!!). Anyway, just thought I would point out another reason why being a female kicks major ass. We can get laid whenever we want and have amazing orgasms as well. I'll take that to peeing standing up anytime.
to the girl in the army...
the only reason army guys think more of the girls is because its all dudes (now before you say, "no duh" hear me out).
im in military school right now, and its the same thing (and it pisses me off being a guy, i guess it hasnt gotten to me yet), but when I visited a college that was predominantly girls, all of the females lowered their standards for the guys from what I saw.
it's the same for both sides, when it comes to that.
moral of the story: dont go to iraq, its hot and shitty
Minska, I have experienced the 3 levels of male orgasm you mention. However, actually being male, I think I can describe them better.
1: A waste of calories and semen. These are what will usually happen if you are not in control or your partner sucks (not literally). Feels like a release, but is not very pleasing.
2: The most typical once you have experience. Requires very basic control of your equipment. Probably everyone is familar with this.
3: The very best. Momentary blindless, trembling fullbody followed by weakness in the muscles. Again, I think getting to this point is just a matter of control. Guys, if you haven't experienced this yet, practice alone at home. You can't show a girl how to get you there if you've never been. I have heard that some guys need direct stimulation of prostate for this to happen. Everyone is different. So this can be achieved once your partner is accustomed to you and vice versa. This is the biggest plus to having a steady girlfriend.
Remember girls, there is a lot more to good sex than just spreading your legs. Get the word out, I'm sick of retraining you.
You know my mom has been telling me I'm the inferior sex since i've been 13, and i guess i know why now. Oh well at least my man hormones drove me to go hunting, and now I can actually find a practical use for my rifle! see you in hell!!!!! just joking well at least about the rifle.
actually there was a university study about this. They randomly surveyed men and women and had them describe their orgasms (and different intensities) in detail. They then presented these double blindly to a committee, and when all was over and done, No difference can be found between the feelings and sensations experienced during orgasm. It seems that the only difference is that an average women's orgasm lasts longer than a man's, and they can easily have multiple (which men can learn to do with determination and lots of practce). It seems the reason for the different vocal/physical actions of men and women during sex is due to other factors than "how good it feels" (so to speak). When having sex, men usually are on top, which causes them to focus on what they are doing. They also tend to concentrate more on pleasing their partner, and most of the time keep their eyes open. Women on the other hand, get to lie down and not work (so they keep their breathing steady, and all blood flowing to the right places) and don't worry about pleasing their man (since he'll do it himself) and most of the time close their eyes, which causes their brain to focus on the physical sensations. Also, women are more verbally expressive than men, which explains why they scream and moan. An example is when something shocks someone. A woman will scream very loudly for at least a second or two. A man, when shocked or scared, whill let out a half breathed "ahh" that will last about a tenth of a second. Men don't express themselves verbally readily, whereas women do.
As for women being in a trance afterwards, it is very possible for this to happen to men. If a man has a mind blowing orgasm (which is very possible, as other commenters stated that there are different levels) he is still in a trance like state and feels light headed and can't concentrate or do anything for a while. The only problem is that most men don't take the time to let this happen (and don't discuss what they want with their partners, who play a key part in achieving this mind blowing state). Men often have an ultimate goal in sex of having an orgasm (with pleasing your partner in there somwhere), but when a man changes this goal from having an orgasm to actually enjoying sex (and his partner knows what to do to please him), and enjoying the feelings and sensations and everything else about sex, he will have better orgasms (to a certain degree, of course it depends a lot on the woman, like a woman's orgasm depends on the man) because of his mental commitment to being in the moment, not thinking about the future and how much longer (or shorter) it will take for him to have an orgasm. Your argument that women can truly experience the beauty of sex relates to this. They don't get frustrated when they don't get off while men do. They relax and lie back and enjoy the act of sex, and the feelings and sensations, which men can easily do, and when men do, they too experience the beauty of sex. It's all about having the right approach and attitude.

Yeah, that's what my wife said for ten years -- "you just need to relax like us women." EXCEPT, thousands of recorded instances of female multiple orgasms and "status orgasmus" (continuous state of orgasm) and NONE FOR MEN. I worked and had nonejaculatory orgasms but they are about 85% as strong as a regular "blip" male orgasm, which only lasts a couple of seconds.
Unlike my wife (who has given up arguing men can enjoy sex like men because her's gets better and better -- 8 different types of orgasm. Trances she describes I can't even relate. In fact, a recent brain study showed that women's brains DO go into a trance. The researchers found that the male orgasm was so short, it barely blipped on the screen and was hard to measure!!!!!!
If you had thirty women and one man, you could make thirty more children in one year. If you had thirty men and one woman, you’d have one very frustrated woman and several dead men and perhaps a child within a year. For this reason and this reason alone, women are more important than men.
Bravo, that is genius.
it is possible for a man to have big mind blowing orgasms. i sometimes get those short and sweet ones that, yeah feel good, but other times i get those big ones that i can feel go all the way up my spine and make my hads and feet tremble. its really like a full body release. it depends on how stressed or relaxed you are at the time, how healthy you are and for men also how strong the muscles around the prostate are. if you do those pc muscle exersises they are a big help. the orgasm can last longer too by exercising those muscles. men can have big orgasms this way.
