Cat Training and Behavior (Domestic and Feral)/my male persian cat

Question
Hello. I have a 1.5 y/o persian cat. Its almost a year since he has started to show a sex-like behavior when i strech my arm/leg in his presence... he jumps on it, and makes strange movements/noises and he leaks... but no matter how long i let myself at his disposal, i cannot see any orgasm-like point in his behavior, and there seems to be no ending for his desire untill i manage to free my arm/leg and go away... can i help him reach orgasm if i am more patiant? or he wont reach orgasm like that?
Mazda,
Cats do not react to the same stimulus as people. My suggestion would be to get the cat neutered right away. It will help you both from having emotional problems and you will have a better, more well-adjusted cat.
If he is neutered already then you need to do something to keep his mind off of sexual behavior by feeding him or getting him to play, such as a pet laser light or pulling a string or rope around for him to chase. I would not encourage his behavior.

Expertise
My expertise is in helping people understand their cat (or cats) and their behavior. Questions are welcome even if you don't have a cat....just a question about them. Hopefully my experience, suggestions, and comments will be of help to you...and your cat (or cats). Looking through my past responses to questions will give you additional information and/or answers too. Domestic Cats = cats (no matter what breed) who are tame or not wild, or abandoned cats who were pets that became wild, but can be tamed again. Ferals = cats who are born with one or more parents who were wild stray cats. They usually have had no interactions with people. They have an inbred distrust of humans and are difficult to socialize. They are skittish, hide, and are afraid of people. They take a lot of time and patience to work with them. A lot of kittens from shelters had a feral parent.
Experience
Since I was a child, over 45 years, I have been owned by a LOT of cats and kittens of almost every temperament, behavior, and personality. I have had experience with neurotic, disabled (including blind), stray, and 'problem child' cats and kittens. (A few normal cats too!) Plus all the things a lifetime of owning cats and research has taught me. I also have experience in feral cat behavior (which is different from domestic cats), and some experience with feral colonies that includes colony feeding and feral cat TNR (trap/neuter/release).
