Question
I can ejaculate, but I still have "dry" orgasms. I mean sometimes I masturbate and I reach the orgasm, but I don't ejaculate. And if I restart 5 minutes later, this time I do. Or sometimes I don't ejaculate for 2 or 3 days, and after I will several times in a row. However, each and every time, I reach the orgasm and I really feel I'm going to ejaculate. At the beginning (I was 12) I was thinking it needs time to install completely, but now I'm 17 I'm starting to worry.
Answer
It does take time (a few days) to build up a supply of semen to ejaculate. If you try to ejaculate every day, you probably will have some dry orgasms or weak ejaculations.
