Recent decrease in orgasm intensity. Any ideas what could be causing this?

r/

Hi all-

I’m a 36 year old man, relatively healthy (could be better but I exercise a fair amount, don’t drink more than a couple times per week at most, etc).

Sometime in the past couple of months I realized that my orgasm intensity was far diminished. I don’t know exactly when it started but I can think back to, say, 6 months ago and remember instances where things were still going normally.

I’ve definitely been depressed and stressed lately, but not debilitatingly so, and not to the level where I’m not taking care of myself. I’ve had depressive periods in the past but can’t ever recall anything like this accompanying the mental health issues.

Libido is still the same, ejaculation volume is still the same, etc.

Have any other men experienced this? Any idea what could be going on? Did getting in my head about it inadvertently perpetuate the issue?

Would love any ideas you all have. It’s slightly worrying me and is also frustrating. Thanks!

    When was your last prostate exam?

    I have noticed that I cum Mich harder when I’m in peak athletic condition.

    Fwiw I have made a couple of dramatic swings from competitive marathon runner to 50 lbs over weight/sedentary and back to peak marathon shape.

    No doubt the intensity was decreased when I was fat. I assumed it was related.

    Maybe something in your diet is causing estrogen?
    Plastics like water bottles, Doritos or skittles… household chemicals, ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    I’m guessing.

    If you’re getting exercise and you don’t have any other health issues, maybe it’s your diet/environment.

    Have you changed any vitamins, supplements, or medications around (most likely before) the change in intensity?

    How often do you jack off?

    Exercise. But before that go see the doc. Get your levels checked and any other preemptive screenings.
