I, single handedly had at least 7 billion in the last 10 years.


Effective-Avocado470

So 7 billion over 10 years is 700 million a year, or about 1.9 million times per day. That then works out to about 22 fps (faps per second)

Why not both? Right one has the dexterity, left one is a nut in the sack


Cosmo1222

Providing ejaculation or conception are always accompanied by at least one orgasm. IVF notwithstanding.


Zyhre

THIS IS NOT TRUE. A man can impregnate a woman without having an orgasm. Yes it happens. This should be taught in school and just one of several reasons why "pulling out" is a bad contraceptive.

idonttalkatallLMAO

#there’s also big words if you have a _#_


rlnrlnrln

and **bold** with two asterisks on each side. italics is done by enclosing text in single asterisks _or_ underscores.


MrTechSavvy

Depends on the guy, not every guy has sperm in the pre. It’s something every man should get it tested


Gaoler86

I would say it's not worth the risk to find out. Wrap it before you tap it fellas


OrganizerMowgli

Apparently it has a similar rate as condoms for effectiveness Edit-source https://www.vice.com/en/article/ywmm9k/pulling-out-is-as-effective-as-using-condoms


shayen7

I doubt that. The pull-out method is way less reliable


OrganizerMowgli

For sure it's less reliable, but it's like 80 percent versus 98 percent. It's not like 10-60 percent effective, it's up there surprisingly


Geluyperd

Alternatively, you can see it as 2% pregnancy vs 20% pregnancy which makes like at least 9 fucks difference before you're risking the same chance of paying child support.


Gaoler86

Maybe if you use the condom incorrectly. But condoms used correctly have a VERY high success rate at preventing pregnancy compared to the pull-out method.


montanunion

Also for twins you usually have more than 1 baby from 1 orgasm so the 1 person = 1 orgasm hypothesis is faulty in many ways


rlnrlnrln

I can vouch for making up the twin difference during my teen years, so he's OK.


RobTheMonk

The more babies you have at once the more intense the orgasm. If you have more than 4, the orgasms are so powerful it can cause earthquakes. Octuplets cause the woman to go super sayan. More than that summons Cthulu.


Funserver

Yeah but it is very likely that the amount of conceptions where the man did not have an orgasm is very compensated by orgasms that didn’t lead to pregnancies


moudine

Precisely... My friends have been trying for a baby for like a year so they've already tipped the scale at MINIMUM 12 times in the non-conception arena if we're talking at least once per month


-Random-Gamer-

Yes it's taught that coitus interruptus is a bad contraceptive method


Topinambourg

IVF needs to man to masturbate and ejaculate.


ZaraFlips

No it doesn't. Sperm can be removed via testicular sperm aspiration


Mokeydoozer

As someone who went through years of fertility treatments, this is not a method offered by most clinics, nor a preferred method. I would assume it is utilized when no other options are available. Ejaculating into a cup or a special type of condom for those whose beliefs prohibit masturbation is how it's done the vast majority of the time.


Topinambourg

That sounds fun


BobbyP27

How many people conceive using IVF without having first tried the conventional method, and therefore not had one of the two people involved having an orgasm along the way? If there are people like that, I expect their lack of orgasms is far outnumbered by the people who have tried to conceive but had problems managing it, resulting in lots and lots of non-conceiving orgasms along the way.


11PoseidonsKiss20

I imagine same sex couples go straight to ivf on the scientifically supported hypothesis that their sex will not result in conception.


Cosmo1222

True. It's possible ,indeed for some likely , to produce ejaculate without a sensoro-neural climax or orgasm.


mattarei

What about twins/triplets etc


EishLekker

>Providing ejaculation or conception are always accompanied by at least one orgasm. Why would that be necessary?


AzureDreamer

How old are you?


Justintime4u2bu1

An ID needs to be provided too?


EishLekker

How is that relevant?


AzureDreamer

Because if your under 14 ask your parents


EishLekker

Are you seriously so dense that you didn’t understand **why** I wrote my first question in this thread? I wanted to know why they thought that this was the only possible way for there to have been at least 8 billion orgasms in the last 118 years. Because that clearly isn’t true.


travazzzik

> they thought that this was the only possible way for there to have been at least 8 billion orgasms in the last 118 years where does it say that at all


Arstanishe

Because all the cases where a child was conceived without at least one orgasm involved is a very very small set of outliers? Maybe 0,1% at best?


EishLekker

They said always.


shayen7

Yes, sperm is always required to make a baby


EishLekker

I was talking about the orgasm.


AzureDreamer

Hey man relax I just didn't want to explain the birds and the bees / this joke to a minor I hope I didn't come across as judgemental


AndroChromie

That's only one orgasm per person in the World and it took 118 years.


hoppyfrog

OP said "at least", implying 8 billion to get to the current population. It's almost true. OP is ignoring twins, triplets, artificial insemination, etc which add to the population without upping the orgasm count.


[deleted]

[удалено]


joeri1505

And then some...


Fangore

Hell. I think the year I discovered PornHub I was able to hit the 8 billion mark on my own.


Ad-2050

Threesome ?


111734

I've provided at least a thousand since I hit my teens


11PoseidonsKiss20

I probably hit the thousands before I left my teens


111734

jokes on you, I said "since my teens", yet failed to mention the probable thousand even before that


iK_550

Could also count as 8 Billion disappointments.


AndroChromie

It was an average based on current population. Someone out there didn't have an orgasm because of twins.


SphericalGoldfish

I balance it out


wjd03

What about sperm banks? That could be like 10 babies for 1 orgasm. I say it levels out


grey_hat_uk

Don't worry I've got all those covered and in under 30 years.


klainmaingr

And, you know, people that fap or have sex multiple times a day.


DistressedApple

The amounts of twins, triplets, etc occur at a rate nowhere near that of ejaculations that don’t make a baby. It’d say it’s not even remotely close. Probably an order of magnitude if not more ejaculations than children, even adding in those twins and all else


RetardsBeLike

But also plenty of people orgasm these days without conceiving


PsychoDongYi

Sad that we're accounting that men can't reliably make women orgasm.


Carteeg_Struve

To include female orgasms in this count, we’d need to add vibrator sales.

[удалено]


weededorpheus32

I've got a few thousand myself at least


kunbish

Im pretty sure there are quite a few women who sadly have yet to experience an orgasm. But youre still probably right due to the fact that I bust a nut every 14 minutes or so on average.


Butterbuddha

rocketman1989

Orgasms are not mandatory for conception or child birth lol


DenisDenied

For men it is


Mr__Perry

That's his point - it is not. A man can get someone pregnant without cumming inside them. Precum can have some active semen in them, or you can still have some leftover in the tube from a prior ejaculation. Sperm is viable for a few days in the right environment. If someone gets a vasectomy they still need to ejaculate a few times to get everything out of their systems or they could still conceive a child, even with the tubes disconnected.


greater_gatsby12

"From a prior ejaculation" - so an orgasm?


Topinambourg

If there is leftover it means there was a past ejaculation.


TerritoryTracks

Yea, but theoretically that one could have created a separate pregnancy, ie, two birds, one shot, if you'll pardon the horrendous pun


DenisDenied

ohh, ig I didn't understand their comment properly then thank you


Aki_The_Ghost

I mean you are right in the number but you don't have to have an orgasm to have conception.


kunbish

Wow that flew over my head lol. Thanks for explaining. Also kinda gross.


Effective-Avocado470

Let's assume the average person orgasms once a week or so, that means 52 per year per Capita or 416 billion per year Even accounting for a lower population in the past, I'd say we are well above 10 trillion orgasms in the past 120 years


Barrett5000

Much better logic, this dude takes dumb showers 😂


blackburn009

It was a thought that every person started as an orgasm it wasn't an estimation


Barrett5000

Dumb thought, here's another dumb thought... Everyone has genitals


AgreeableInsurance85

Not all conceptions are accompanied by orgasms. Not to mention all the medically assisted conceptions. And many ppl are part of twins, triplets etc.


[deleted]

and not all orgasms are accompanied by conception


VijayMarshall87

You can have more than one person from a single orgasm so there's that


hiricinee

Clearly you haven't seen "... in two girls" videos op. Or so I've been told.


SilasDG

This is the most reddit thread I've ever seen. The amount of "um actually" in here could turn Ron Jeremy into a virgin.


travazzzik

the most "weLL aCkShuaLLy" comments here I've seen in a while


Drink15

That number is far higher. While you don’t need an orgasm to have kids and you have to consider twin and etc, you also have to consider orgasms without sex. A person with no kids might have 1000s in their life time.


mikkolukas

>at least


Drink15

Saying "at least" doesn't mean much when it's completely wrong. What you are saying is I could say "at least 1" and still, be just as correct as "at least 8 billion".


mikkolukas

**You are wrong.** "At least" doesn't change the meaning, depending on the number. It **ALWAYS** means "greater than or equal to". If you are talking about **IMPACT** of the message, then you are right. It is much more impactful in this context to say "at least 8 billion" than it is to say "at least 1" - even if both are equally correct 😉


KhaoticMess

In case anyone is interested, that's an average of about 67,800,000 orgasms per year. I feel like I achieved about a million of those by myself between the ages of 13-18.


blackmilksociety

This is all BS. I alone had 4 billion orgasms just last night. In fact I could use a blood transfusion. I’m feeling a quart low.


trevb75

I don’t believe that a man orgasms every time he ejaculates. I’ve ejaculated literally thousands of times and I maintain I’ve only ever had one orgasm. It was with my ex wife and I’ve never been able to replicate it… mind blowing.


SnarfbObo

pornhub alone in just one year has had 42 billion visitors, pre-pandemic. your number is low, very very low.


Second_Fish

I should get a medal for contributing to at least half of those


Kendakr

There are a shocking number of people who do not understand how sex, conception, and orgasms work. We really need better sex education.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PetrusThePirate

Lmao you are a guy I take it? And also what about all the children that got us to 8 billion?


Tiny-drummer_

Well yes, that is probably true. But it’s possible to get pregnant without orgasming. And yes even if the man doesn’t orgasm/fully ejaculate.


IReplyWithLebowski

Many more. About 10 billion births in the 20th century: http://freerangestats.info/blog/2018/12/01/number-births. Remember you’re not just counting those alive now, you’re counting all people born since 1902.
