Whatever the nature of our relationship with a man, he remains “the other.” A being of a different sex who thinks, behaves, and reacts differently from how we, as women, experience things. This is why, at times, even when we feel we know him well, sexual harmony with a man can still feel difficult to reach.
In many relationships, an invisible gap develops between partners—not because love is missing, but because of a misunderstanding of male sexuality. The common image of men portrays them as always ready, emotionally unaffected, unafraid of failure, and in no need of reassurance. Yet sexual medicine and modern research reveal a very different reality.
In this article from Metle Metlik, we take you on a comprehensive journey into the world of men and sex, to understand how his body works, how his brain functions during intimacy, and why male sexual experience cannot be reduced to rigid stereotypes.
In the absence of erectile difficulties, and when there has been no recent sexual activity before a second attempt at intercourse, an erection may occur almost immediately. However, this is not a universal rule and cannot be generalized to all men or all situations.
For an erection to occur, a man does not rely solely on an automatic reflex response. He also needs psychological inhibition to be lifted. The brain is the primary organ responsible for male sexual response.
The brain must “authorize” the body to respond sexually. If it perceives that:
then these factors can block the erection mechanism, even when desire is present.
Once tension subsides and relaxation sets in, the body begins to respond. With age—particularly after fifty—it is completely normal for erections to take longer, and this does not necessarily indicate a health problem.
No. It is very common for an erection not to be fully vertical. Penile erection angle varies depending on the individual, body structure, and age.
What matters in sexual activity is not size or angle, but erection firmness, quality, and sustainability.

In over 90% of cases, orgasm and ejaculation occur together. However, medically speaking, orgasm and ejaculation are two distinct processes.
The sensation of orgasm comes from:
— not from the release of semen itself.
In practice, most men find it difficult to experience orgasm without ejaculation. However, some practitioners of tantric sex manage—through training and bodily control—to suppress ejaculation while maintaining orgasmic sensation.
Certain medical conditions or treatments (medications or surgery) may also result in:
In these cases, the sensation of orgasm can still be present, even without ejaculation.
Premature ejaculation: Occurs in less than one to two minutes and is accompanied by orgasm.
No ejaculation with preserved orgasm:
No ejaculation without orgasm:
This is one of the most common questions when discussing men and sex. Falling asleep after intercourse does not mean indifference, lack of love, or neglect.
The reason is purely physiological:
No. Men do not universally agree on anal sex, and even among those who try it, only a minority practice it regularly.
For some men, it may be linked to:

Preferences cannot be universally defined. However, when many men are asked about what they find desirable, we often notice the influence of pornographic imagery: a woman who expresses pleasure easily, constantly encourages her partner, and appears permanently available.
This is an unrealistic model, imposed by a male-centered visual culture—not a true standard of femininity or desire.
