Yeah, thats the question many antidepressants put on you...

[–] MagicShel@programming.dev 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Let's just say if 2 orgasms per week lowers your risk of prostate cancer, I'm pretty sure my prostate will last until the heat death of the universe.

But this isn't even close. I'd choose laughter every time.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Same here. Life would be awful without being able to laugh, but there are plenty of ways to get pleasure outside of orgasms.

[–] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago (2 children)

If I still get aroused and am unable to orgasm, that would be torture but if I don't even feel the urge then I would let that go. I don't laugh often anymore so it can stay or go, I doubt I would miss it.

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

It sounds like you’re choosing “neither”.

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 months ago

There's something to be said for being a desperate, horny, needy, leaky mess though. Might not be for you but you never know unless you try =D

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Definitely the latter. Tmi (but the OP is tmi anyway) but I have never been able to feel sexual pleasure so I have never had an orgasm. Nothing wrong with me to my knowledge. I'm not paralyzed or anything and I never had any traumatic sexual encounters. It just doesn't work like that for me.

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 months ago

No idea why you're downvoted for this. Have an upvote for contributing to the thread. Interesting perspective too.

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 6 months ago

Don't need to cum for to feel amazing from getting my butt filled. However, having fun with people is gonna suck if I can't laugh.

[–] WeLoveCastingSpellz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

no orgasm doesn't mean no sexual pleasure. It could even be hot. Laughter any day of the week

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The latter since due to ADHD and trauma I'm basically already there 🙃

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I really don’t think ADHD makes orgasms impossible.

I’ve uh … had some success in making ADHD people cum. Do you need some help?

[–] Ceedoestrees@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

"I have trauma that makes sexual gratification difficult."

"Hah, no it doesn't work like that. Allow me to sexually harass you."

[–] evanstucker@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 months ago

Geez, Satan over here trying to come up with fresh ideas for Hell.

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

How about laughing whenever you orgasm, or orgasming wherever you laugh?

[–] ContrarianTrail@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If I can still get pleasure from the stimulation itself but just be unable to reach climax then I'd choose to live without orgasms.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

Imagine if it was that way for laugher

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Never laugh again. There are plenty of other ways to convey humour, but no orgasms would destroy my marriage.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I’m having a hard time believing that a lack of laughter wouldn’t destroy your marriage too

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 1 points 6 months ago

Smiling, winking, and other ways to show mirth are still on the table.
