I've noticed that my orgasm never reaches the same amount of pleasure as it did when I first started. I still masturbate because it's still somewhat pleasurable, but not as much as I'd like. Once I actually felt nothing but the semen shooting out. Is there anything I can do to reach the high pleasure level I once got?

I have heard people mention this time and time again. Apparently many people experience a loss in the intensity of the orgasm not long after they start to experience them. As far as I can tell, there are at least three possible explanations:
- There is an actual orgasm intensity loss due to the fact that the orgasm is no longer a "new" sensation to the body;
- There is an actual orgasm-intensity loss due to the fact that the person is experiencing orgasms more often than he was at the beginning (orgasms are more intense when there's a greater amount of time between them);
- The orgasms only seem to be less intense, because your mind has gotten used to the feelings, so they aren't as mind-blowing as the first ones were.
I don't know of any way to regain the pleasure intensity, except perhaps stimulating your penis for a longer time before ejaculating (the "Stop & Go" method from JackinExpert), and/or cutting down on your masturbation frequency. As I mentioned, the best orgasms are those that happen when you really need to masturbate because you haven't ejaculated in a while – not just because you're bored or have some time to kill.
