Is cuming the same as an orgasam?

Can you do one without the other? Will someone please explain this to me?

  • They're usually used interchangeably, yes.

    An orgasm is a series of pleasurable contractions of the pelvic muscles. Ejaculation is the expulsion of fluid from the genitals.

    "Cum" is another word for semen and "cumming" is just another term for ejaculation. Since, for males, orgasm and ejaculation usually happen pretty much simultaneously they're often thought of as being the same thing. For most men they are inseparable but with diligent training some men have been able to have orgasms without ejaculating.

    While women don't produce semen, I guess the term sort of carried over and is used for females too. There is such a thing as female ejaculation (although it's far less common than male ejaculation) but the term "cumming" is used as slang for a female orgasm whether the woman ejaculates or not.

    • Thankfully SOMEONE got it right.

    • exactly. Some answer here are crazy

  • Both orgasms are ENTIRELY different.

    People who say they are the same are just plain stupid. And the differentiation of the two goes deep to how a man and a woman think. BOTH think ENTIRELY different.

    For a man, there is a normal orgasm through sexual stimulation and there is a "pre-cum" and "wet dream" type of orgasm and is stimulated through how a man feels or sees without being physically touched. A "pre-cum" and "wet dream" is the same thing as a woman's "spontaneous orgasm" because they don't require any "PHYSICAL" stimulation. The brain just decides to make you orgasm, slows down time and make you feel bliss.

  • For girls, it's the same thing. For guys, it's not.

    So an orgasm for guys is basically what pushes the come (semen) out. It's kinda like a bunch of muscles in and around his penis rippling and pushing come out (like when a girl's vagina contracts, scientists think that's to help sperm travel up towards the uterus). A guy that, let's say, practices can have an orgasm without cumming. If he has an orgasm without cumming, then he still has an erection and can orgasm again without a wait period. If this is confusing, just ask and I'll try to clear it up.

    • You know a guy that can orgasm without semen coming out?

    • No but I'm a pre-med student so we learn about all these things.

    • you are 17 and in pre-med and do you have resources to show this amazing phenomenon? I know it is possible but you are saying it is relatively common?

  • Yes, "to cum" is the same as "having an orgasm." But some people also use come as the term for ejaculatory fluid for both men and women.

  • Semantically, no, they are different. An orgasm is...well...an orgasm. Cumming is just the ejaculation of seminal fluid.

    Practically though, they are the same, meaning when a guy orgasms, he's going to cum. at least 99.99% of the time, unless he posses some strange skill, or he's ejaculated 100x in the last few days literally leaving him dry.

    So generally speaking, if a guy says "I'm cumming, he means he's about to have an orgasm".

  • same thing different words

  • They're not. Though they're often seen as being the same, it's a misconception. A guy can come but not have an orgasm. I doubt guys have very many orgasms to be honest. I've came I don't know how many times over the last 9 years. At least several thousand. Of those, I can only remember orgasming only a handful of times, probably about 3 times. They feel completely different. With an orgasm, there's so much more contraction, it's more noticeable and rapid, the come shoots out like a cannon, and my lower abdomen and penis hurt afterward. All the other times, there's less contraction (sometimes I barely notice them), the come just comes out with little force, and there's no pain in my lower abdomen and penis.

    So, just because you made a guy come doesn't mean you made him orgasm.

  • I've always thought that those two words were interchangeable.

  • medically they are different but in common speak amongst most people they are the same... you can see this in the answers on here already.
