Have you been experiencing a lack of intensity during orgasms and weaker orgasms?

Do you have softer erections?

Is the amount of your ejaculate less?

If you have answered yes to these questions, then I am here to tell you that you aren’t crazy. It’s actually a very real and common experience for men, and you are most likely experiencing the symptoms of andropause.

Andropause is when you experience emotional and physical changes in your body due to a decline in your hormones — the male counterpart to menopause in women. There are more and more data about it and yet it is still a controversial and somewhat taboo subject.

Weaker orgasms and smaller ejaculation are more common than you think.

I understand that for most men, achieving an orgasm, having hard erections, and ejaculating a volume of semen, are all regarded as signs of masculinity, and can be crucial to your ability to feel strong and powerful as a man.

So let’s take a closer look at what can lessen your ability to get hard, ejaculate, and feel a powerful orgasm.

1. Testosterone Deficiency

Testosterone acts as the fuel for powerful orgasms. The strength of your libido goes hand in hand with your free testosterone levels. This means that a decline in free testosterone is also a decline in your sex drive.

There is an association also with lower testosterone and lower volume of semen. Even though the amount of your ejaculate doesn’t affect your orgasms, it has a psychological effect on most men, as they associate the volume of semen with their virility.

First of all, let’s dispel a few myths. The amount of ejaculate is not the same for every man. It is highly variable, from several factors, including frequency of ejaculating, how long since your last ejaculation, testicle health, and diet factors to mention a few.

It is normal as you age to have less volume, and for it to take you longer to replenish. The key here is to separate your ejaculation from your orgasms. 

The Ancient Taoists believed that you lost your life force when you ejaculated too frequently. Learning to move energy in your body and recycle it, will prevent that from happening.

2. Aging and Hormones Imbalances

Aging and hormone imbalances can affect the power of your orgasms. With lower testosterone, for example, the intensity and power of your orgasms are just not what they used to be anymore and you experience reduced pleasure.

Often, this is aggravated by the feeling of failure or inadequacy that many men experience. You have a choice about how you look at this. And there also ways to increase your pleasure. 

Stay youthful by keeping active and engaging your mind. Do new or unusual activities. Your mind is your biggest sex organ so you use it to serve you.

3. Weaker Pelvic Floor Muscles

When the contractions of your pubococcygeus (PC) muscle are weaker, your sensations become weakened. With stronger PC muscles, your orgasmic contractions are stronger, and the sensation is greater. Bouncy, toned, supple muscles = strong orgasms.

We live in a sitting culture, where our lifestyle and posture affect the resilience of our pelvic floor muscles.

So, you need to strengthen your PC muscles for greater sensations. For more detail on PC muscles, check out my article 3 Kegels Mistakes You Are Probably Doing.

4. Illness

Some neurological disorders (strokes, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis) might damage the nerves that control orgasm. Take action, get the help you need, and get your health back!

5. Drugs and Alcohol

Anti-depressants, pain killers, and alcohol can cause orgasm problems. Talk with your doctor about your medication’s side effects and see if there’s an alternative to help your sexuality. Often it only takes pointing it out to your doctor. 

6. Stress and Lifestyle

Having a high level of stress creates damaging hormones that will affect your sex hormones, and create a domino effect downward. As you know now, lower testosterone = decreased weaker orgasms. 

The way you nourish your body, from the foods you eat to the sleep and yoga and exercise your schedule into your life, also affects your hormone production and overall health.

7. Inability to Receive Pleasure

This one is a biggie and a lot of men fit in the giver-only category. When you are unable to take pleasure in fully, you are shortcoming yourself literally.

This is the age of the “sensitive man” who is trained and reminded to give and give. Sometimes you can swing too far toward that end of the pendulum. If you have been spending years focusing solely on giving pleasure, you could have lost touch with your own ability to experience pleasure, in the form of your orgasms. 

If this is you, you might have to retrain your own erotic potential, and my courses are perfect for you.

Bottom Line: You Can Get Your Mojo Back

As you can see there are many factors contributing to a decline in orgasmic sensations. The good news is that, with some guidance and wisdom from a caring professional, you can get your mojo back.
