Is it Normal to Experience Orgasm (and Ejaculation) without Posted: 04-01-06 16:18pm
Last week, I experienced ejaculation
without an erection.
While masturbating, I had trouble
maintaining a strong erection. After the
penis became very soft, I felt an orgasm
coming on. This orgasm scared me as my
penis was not hard at all.
I experienced an orgasm despite a limp
penis and sperm did ejaculate from the
penis.
For the next ten days, I was unable to
have sex. That is, my penis would not
achieve an erection---not even at night
while sleeping or first thing in the
morning as it usually would. I'm not sure
if part of that had to do with me being
frightened that the same unpleasant
experience would occur.
Finally, I was able to have normal sex
(ejaculation with an erect penis). I am
interested in understanding more about
what happened to me. Is this a sign of an
unhealthy condition? Or, can something
like this occur occasionally in a healthy
male?
I would appreciate any response.
Thanks.

Ejaculation and erection are two different
actions controlled by two different reflex
mechanisms. Although the two functions can
operate simultaneously, they can also run
independent of one another. Ejaculation
without an erection can happen
occasionally... even in healthy men. If
men ejaculate often without an erection,
this indicates a disorder or problem with
the erection (impotency).
