ejaculation

If the sexual arousal increases to a certain point, the ejaculation reached. This also includes the ejaculation Roger that. Ejaculation occurs in two phases and is not only achieved by men (see female ejaculation).

What is ejaculation?

The man's ejaculation is called ejaculation. This is associated with orgasm (the peak of sexual arousal). Some women can also achieve female ejaculation, which is also characterized by the discharge of secretions during orgasm.

Sexual maturity is a prerequisite for ejaculation. During ejaculation, another name for male ejaculation, the sperm is ejected out of the urethra in bursts. This is triggered by sexual stimuli, usually through masturbation or sexual intercourse.

The muscles of the spermatic duct, the seminal vesicle, the erectile tissue and the pelvic floor are stimulated by rhythmic contractions, whereby the sperm is transported out of the penis.

The orgasm is triggered by the sexual center in the diencephalon. These nerve impulses act on the nerve cells in the loin part. These nerve fibers then trigger ejaculation.

Ejaculation itself is divided into two phases. During the emission phase, the fluid from the seminal vesicle and the fluid from the prostate collect in the first section of the urethra.

Ejaculation in the narrower sense, i.e. the second phase, is the sperm leaking out of the penis in spurts. When a sufficient amount of sperm is produced, this process occurs. This process cannot be stopped once it has occurred.

Function & task

The prostate also plays an important role in the formation of sperm. The prostate glands produce a milky, cloudy, fluid secretion. It contains enzymes that make the sperm fluid. It also includes sperm. This ingredient is important to protect the DNA (genetic information) and gives the sperm its typical smell. The prostate secretion makes up about 20 to 30 percent of the sperm. It is important for man's fertility.

The effusion can be done with or semen. Even boys can have a wet orgasm before puberty. In this case there are still no fertile sperm.

When people ejaculate after puberty, between two and six milliliters of sperm is expelled. However, this is only an approximation, significantly more is possible. The degree of arousal of the man is decisive for the amount of sperm. The time since you last ejaculated also plays a role. The amount of sperm expelled therefore varies and the longer the erection phase lasts, the more volume the man ejaculates.

After the sperm has been expelled, there is a refractory or recovery phase. This is the post orgasm time it takes to have another orgasm. During this time, further ejaculation is generally not possible.

Illnesses & ailments

Under normal conditions, male orgasm is associated with ejaculation. However, if there are illnesses, an orgasm can also occur without ejaculation. Ejaculation without an orgasm is also possible.

Some men experience symptoms of Postorgasmic Illness Syndrome after ejaculation. These symptoms include increased body temperature, sweating, and chills. Fatigue and exhaustion are also symptoms of illness. The symptoms are similar to those of the flu.

One of the potency problems associated with ejaculation is premature ejaculation. The ejaculation often takes place with a kiss or light touch. The man is hardly able to control the timing of ejaculation, which is mostly a head-controlled process. Excessive excitement can be a cause. This is one of the most common ejaculation problems.

Delayed ejaculation can also be a difficulty that men struggle with. Neurological problems can be the cause here.

If the man is unable to ejaculate, we speak of anejaculation. It is the lack of ejaculation. The causes for this are usually an injury to the spinal cord, a nerve disease such as multiple sclerosis, a metabolic disease or an operation in the pelvis. The use of medication can also promote this disorder. The problem with anejaculation is rarely a psychological cause.

Spermatorrhea can occur with insufficiency of the end section of the spermatic duct. The seminal fluid then flows out of the urethra without any sexual arousal. If the end section of the spermatic duct is closed, this can also be the cause of a low ejaculation volume.

The older the man gets, the worse the coordination of the contractions of the epididymal duct, spermatic duct, vesicle gland, prostate gland, urethra and pelvic floor muscles. The loss of coordination can lead to permanent erectile dysfunction.

The diagnosis of ejaculation disorders is usually based on information from the person concerned. When talking to the doctor, the sex life is described in detail and the partner is often part of the conversation. In most cases, dissatisfaction with one's sex life is also the main reason for the ejaculation difficulties.

To be able to rule out an underlying disease, a diagnostic procedure in the form of a laboratory test of blood and urine is also carried out. This examination takes place at the urologist.

If the cause is psychological, it helps many sufferers to talk to their partner about the problems. This is the first and often decisive step in reducing ejaculation difficulties. If the problem persists, it is advisable to see a psychologist unless there is a medical background for the disorder.
