— D. "The First Documented Male Multiple Orgasm"

Is there such a thing as male multiple orgasm?
The Playboy Advisor [Playboy, August 1998]

Many men have taught themselves to enjoy multiple orgasms by delaying ejaculation through control of the pubococcygeus muscle, a technique that takes some practice, but a rare breed of man apparently can have multiple orgasms — each including ejaculation — without training. Three years ago a 35-year-old man contacted Beverly Whipple, a sex researcher at Rutgers University, claiming he could come repeatedly without any recovery period, and he agreed to demonstrate. Whipple and her colleagues monitored the man's heart rate, pupil dilation and ejaculate volume as he masturbated to a video of his favorite porn scenes.

He achieved his first orgasm (and ejaculated) in 20 minutes. Two minutes later he came again. According to Whipple, the man reached orgasm and ejaculated four more times in the next 14 minutes without losing his erection. The Advisor occasionally hears from well-rested men who claim two or even three ejaculations without losing their erections. The guy at Rutgers, however, told researchers he comes five to ten times a day and once reached orgasm and ejaculated five times in six minutes. That's a horse you can bet on.

Studying Research Subject
Melba Newsome, The Penis Page. Penthouse Magazine [May 2000, p. 76]

A few years ago, Beverly Whipple received an unsolicited call from a man who claimed he could climax repeatedly without losing his erection. A man professing enviable sexual prowess? Now that's a new one.

But Whipple didn't hang up. She's a sex researcher at the College of Nursing at Rutgers University in New Jersey. And like any good researcher, she wants to test a hypothesis, particularly one that challenges what has long been held as scientific wisdom: the theory that the ability to have multiple orgasms is strictly the province of women.

Ethical standards preclude Whipple (and us) from naming her research subject, but I have it on good authority that it is a 40-year-old married man who lives a rather ordinary life.

"Bob" (as we'll call him) arrived at the Rutgers laboratory and was hooked up to various devices that would measure and record the physiological changes his body went through from erection through climax. A pupilometer measured the diameter of his pupils; a blood-pressure cuff recorded his blood pressure every two minutes and each time he reported an orgasm. He received eight cups for the collection of separate ejaculations. To help him get started, he was given erotic movies and magazines. Alone in the room, Bob was watched through an observation window.

And so what happened? "He definitely had multiple orgasms," says Whipple. Despite the distraction of the equipment and the instructions — to say nothing of curious observers — he maintained his erection throughout the experiment, achieving six orgasms with full ejaculations. All this within 36 minutes.

Bob insisted that he could have gone for more, but the room was not air-conditioned. By the time he achieved the sixth orgasm, he says, he was too warm and too uncomfortable to continue.

"I've been called a liar or a bragger," says Bob. Being a guinea pig was worth it if only to finally be able to prove his claims were no brag, just fact. While other guys over the years talked about how many times they could get it up, he had told them that he had to get it up only once — because it didn't go down.

And the rest of you guys? Although Bob is very unusual, Whipple doesn't think that his experience is unique. "Research shows that men as well as women are capable of a variety of sexual responses," she says.

So can you do it too? Sex therapists and researchers William Hartman and Marilyn Fithian, writing in Any Man Can, describe some rudimentary techniques that men can use to become multiorgasmic. They concluded that it's possible for men to have multiple orgasms by separating orgasm from ejaculation. Orgasm and ejaculation are two separate phenomena, controlled by two different nerve pathways. Most men spontaneously learn to do both together, but there are men who can have an orgasm without ejaculating. (And there are men who ejaculate without having an orgasm.)

To accomplish this, you need to work the muscles around the base of the penis with Kegel exercises, which strengthen the pelvic muscles and increase orgasmic pleasure. You strengthen the muscles by stopping the flow of urine. Work yourself up to 100, 200, and even 300 contractions a day. Once you've mastered Kegels, you'll be able to squeeze these muscles when you're about to ejaculate, coming to orgasm without ejaculation and enabling yourself to continue with your sexual activity.

But even if you succeed in accomplishing this, Bob still owns bragging rights because he's a natural. First, he didn't learn to be multiorgasmic. For as long as he can remember he has always been that way. He started masturbating when he was four. "I didn't ejaculate," he says, "but I thought, This feels good; let's have another one." Second, he uses no techniques or tricks to stop him from ejaculating as he experiences orgasm. A full ejaculation follows each and every climax. This is a guy with no downtime.

"If you have to work at it, it's not the same thing. All those methods they teach you involve interrupting pleasure," says Bob. "If I could explain it, I'd write a book and become a millionaire."

Endless orgasms may be an appealing prospect for most men, but, personally speaking, I'm not thrilled about it. All my life, some things have been a certainty: (a) friends always drop in when the house is a sty; (b) there's no such thing as spare change; and (c) as soon as my man comes, I can roll over and get some sleep. I'd like to change the first two, but the last one suits me just fine, thank you very much.

Studying Richard Brent

Six ejaculations with the same erection

Beverly Whipple is a professor of nursing at Rutgers University in New Jersey and president of the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT). She's spent a good part of her career conducting research on sexual response.

In 1995, Richard Brent contacted Beverly Whipple at Rutgers about doing a scientific research study about his sexual experience.

Sex Researcher Beverly Whipple:
"I did the study simply to validate one person's experience. In the past, my whole research program has been centered on validating a woman's sexual experience. I've done studies on female ejaculation, orgasm from stimulation of the G spot. I've studied women who are able to orgasm through imagery. I thought it would be good to document a man's experience as well."

The Parameters

The study was done in a laboratory at the College of Nursing at Rutgers University in New Jersey. Brent was hooked up to various devices such as a pupillometer, blood-pressure cuff and pulse monitor, in order to measure and record the physiological changes his body goes through from the arousal stage to orgasm. The diameter of Brent's pupils was measured as he sat in a chair facing the pupillometer. This consists of an infrared video close-up camera directed at Brent's eye. He was instructed to look into the camera each time he had an orgasm, so that the changes in his pupil diameter could be recorded. The blood-pressure cuff on his left arm and pulse monitor attached to the big toe on his left foot collected individual data that was analyzed later.

A television and VCR with erotic material was operated via remote control. Alone in the room, Brent was observed through an observation window.

The Task at Hand

The blood-pressure cuff would inflate every two minutes. This was the signal for Brent to place his chin in the chin rest of the pupilometer. He was then required to remain still as his pupil diameter was recorded. Blood-pressure readings were recorded every two minutes throughout the experiment, and each time Brent reported he had had an orgasm. After orgasm, his pupil diameter was again recorded. During blood-pressure measurements, he was asked to rate his level of sexual arousal on a scale of 1-10. He was required to collect each ejaculation in a separate container for researchers.

The End Result

Thirty-six minutes elapsed between Brent's first and last orgasm. Despite the distraction of the equipment and instructions, he maintained his erection throughout the experiment and achieved six orgasms with full ejaculations. The data collected displayed significant elevations of Brent's blood pressure, heart rate and pupil diameter during orgasm.

Research subject Richard Brent:
"All the books say it's physiologically impossible. I've been called a liar, or a bragger. Everyone just says it's impossible, but I know it's not. If I could write a book, I'd be a millionaire, but there's nothing I've found so far that I can attribute it to, so I figure it's just something about me and my body that's different."


"The only documented naturally multiorgasmic man, Richard Brent, at the Money Shot presentation" [Playboy]. Richard Brent is speaking at the World Pornography Conference, Universal City, California, August 1998.
       "The quirky last panel of the day was called “The Money Shot in Pornography Movies,” with Jacob Hale, Ph.D., from the Center for Sex Research, CSUN, and Peter Sandor Gardos, Ph.D., San Francisco, who was presenting his work, Cum Shots: History, Theory and Research. But the big hit of this session was Richard Brent, who talked about “Multi-Orgasmic Males.” His special apparently unique talent was that he needed no refractory period between orgasms and could have as many as five orgasms in six minutes. As many as forty in three hours. He was part of a study at a major university back east but since he was the only participant, it was hard to get any good statistics. Brent was searching others with the same ability but has had no luck so far. The packed audience gaped in amazement at his story. There was only one question from the back of the house: “Do you have an agent?”" [The Real Boogie Nights, by Nancy Cain]

Multiorgasmic Men
Rita Kennen, MyPrimeTime [Oct 21 1999 10:21:51 ]

There's something unusual about Richard Brent. It's not that he's been married for 16 years, nor that he doesn't drink or smoke, or that he's 40 and still sexually very fit. It's neither his performance, nor his prowess that make him the subject of this story as well as a document of scientific research. It is rather the uniqueness of his experience of sex that makes Brent unusual.

For as long as he can remember, Richard Brent has been multiorgasmic.

Research subject Richard Brent:
"I think I started masturbating when I was 4. I didn't ejaculate, but I thought, Hey, this feels good, why stop, let's have another one. I mean, it's like a roller-coaster ride. Why get off if you don't have to? I didn't realize until my early 20s that it was any different for anyone else.

Many men covet a woman's natural capacity to have more than one orgasm. Some envy it so much that they pursue techniques promising to bring them to orgasm without ejaculating. Most involve isolating the pelvic muscles and squeezing them right at the point of ejaculation. Does mastering these techniques make a man multiorgasmic?

Research Subject Richard Brent:
"I used to listen to guys talk about how many times they could get it up in a night. When they came around to me, I said, Do you mean how many times can I come, or how many erections can I have? Because for me that's two different things."

Brent calls the multiple orgasms he experiences uninhibited pleasure. He uses no techniques or tricks to stop himself from ejaculating as he experiences orgasm. A full ejaculation follows each and every orgasm. Brent's sexual experience challenges the traditional concept of the male refractory period or down time, during which a man loses his erection and must wait before he can perform again sexually.

Research Subject Richard Brent:
"It's not the same thing if you have to work at it. I've tried all the techniques and I know it's not the same. All those methods involve interrupting pleasure. Men don't like interrupting their pleasure. All men would rather they weren't limited by the Male Refractory Period (MRP), and were capable of effortless multiple orgasm, possessing the same sexual potential and capacity as do females! After several orgasms, I get a natural high, probably from the release of endorphins."

Spiked
Man-juice gets a flavor make-over
Phoenix New Times [Thursday, May 29 2003]

On Your Knees
The Valley boasts companies that manufacture a wide variety of products, from computer chips to satellite rocket boosters. But a recent and risqué entry into the "Did you know this is made here?" category is making folks blush all over the country, and the world.

Recently profiled in Maxim and Hustler (we read it for the articles, honest), as well as on British talk sensation Graham Norton's show and in various German, Australian and Latin American publications, the little Web-based business in question is virtually unknown in the Phoenix area — except to its devoted customers, who literally eat it up.

Brent and Lois Myers of Apache Junction started their Web site in 2000 after two years of testing a specialized product made for those who love giving their man a tongue bath, but don't necessarily like to, uh, drink the bath water. Yep, the Myerses invented Semenex, which claims to make semen as "delicious as it is nutritious." Seriously.

For just $24.95 (or $49.95 for a 30-day supply), you can enhance your sweetie's emissions with just one little drink of the powder every night at bedtime. It even works in 24 hours, say the instructions on the Web site.

"That particular activity is a fave of mine," Brent Myers says with an unashamed grin, his long, gray hair hanging in loose, Beach Boy waves. "My wife is the one who cooks my meals, generally, and she noticed that there were definitely things that made it taste worse, so we got to thinking that there must be something that could make it taste good."

The couple first looked extensively into ancient phallus-worshiping religions to find what they had used to make the products of their efforts taste more palatable, but weren't having any success. "We began experimenting with diets heavy in those foods," says Myers. "But there was very little positive change."

After six months of dishes filled with elements such as pineapple, banana and broccoli, Myers says he couldn't find anything that seemed to do a whole lot in Lois' opinion. "At that point, we began combining the elements in various concentrations and combinations," says Myers, "and that's when we started actually seeing results that were like, Wow, that's different.'"

Brent and Lois boiled the magic formula down to eight ingredients: pineapple, broccoli, banana, celery, strawberry, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. "When I felt like I had something workable, I decided to test it," says Myers. He enlisted his eager and curious telemarketing co-workers into his test group. Twenty-seven couples tested various concentrations of the product until it worked for everyone. The couples ranged in age from 20s to 40s, and were of all ethnic backgrounds. Some were smokers, some had diets heavy in dairy (a spunk-souring no-no), and some were health nuts. "We wanted to find a formula that would work for everyone, no matter what their diet or lifestyle was," says Myers.

In 2000, Semenex was launched on the Web site (www.semenex.com). Myers says his local church (the Myerses are Mormons) knows about Semenex, and is not exactly thrilled. "They don't have any problems with us, but they were a bit concerned with the sexual nature of the product." Maybe it's the container — a plastic jug with a logo composed of red lips licking off an opaque, white substance.

In addition to sweetening your nectar, Myers claims that the drink will also "give back to a man what is lost to the man by ejaculation." Namely, vitamins B6 and B12, calcium, magnesium, creatine, selenium and zinc. The Web site even says that semen is perfect for the Atkins diet, with high protein and no carbohydrates.

Incidentally, Myers says that some men claim it increases a man's load, but he hasn't done research on it yet. "I don't believe in a one-product-fits-all mentality. A jack-of-all-trades is a master of none," says Myers.

Myers is adamant that Semenex is not like one of those "enlargement" scam ads stuffing e-mail boxes. "I don't advertise, because the damned product works. I don't need advertising," says Myers.

There is even a money-back guarantee.
