Is it more pleasurable to orgasm or watch your partner orgasm?

  • Watching her orgasm makes me feel like I win something

  • Sometimes watching my partner orgasm is all the extra push I need

  • It's close. Both are fantastic. But, my orgasm feels better. Thankfully, because it is close, one tends to lead to the other.

  • it has a lasting effect when both orgasm equally and you may enjoy it longer when both are excited.

  • Both are equally pleasurable to me

  • I get off watching her get off

  • If we both cum, HOORAY! However, if only one of us can cum, I get very turned on by her cumming, more than it turns me on.

  • I’m not fufilled if she doesn’t finish. as I’m older, I don’t always finish from sex, often it takes a bj or something after. With my girlfriend, usually we do it until she gets off and then if I’m taking too long she just finishes me

  • Physical pleasure : your own orgasm

    Mental pleasure : partners orgasm

  • Both are equally pleasurable. Makes it even more pleasurable when both cum at the same time.

  • i prefer both at the same time when possible

  • I think men have a natural instinct to want to protect woman and part of that is wanting to see woman enjoying themselves and being "free" in his company!

    If a woman is nervous around us, naturally we get nervous. It is a weird kinda empathy.

    Another way to look at it is it you love someone, you'd get a lot of pleasure seeing them happy, no?

    A third way to look at it, (especially if you don't particularly love that someone) is that a man gets a certain amount of pride that he's able to satisfy a woman...

  • As men can last much, much longer it's the best when she has 3-4 times orgasm and than you two finish together.

  • Equally pleasurable, see there are days when you're extra horny and you want the orgasm asap.
    Other days you're less horny and you'll love to please your loved one.

  • I'm all for mutual satisfaction.

  • I love watching her orgasm over and over and over

  • Watching her reach climax and cum is the most important part to me

  • Well I obviously do like to orgasm but at the same watching a woman 'get her rocks off' turns me on. I have secret mistress who makes groaning noises all the time and getting off when we're having passionate sex. They say sexual pleasure for a woman is more long and intense whereas a man's is a short build up for squirt in the end.

  • Her having an orgasm is more important to me, it's hard to explain but it's so satisfying when it happens. If it were one sided and only the guy had one it would feel very wrong.

  • Watching my partner orgasm. It feels great to know that I am actually doing something right for once in my life and she gets to reap the benefits.
