What is "male ejaculation", how it happens, orgasm correction

Since the natural purpose of sexual intercourse is procreation, the natural end of sex is ejaculation. Ejaculation is accompanied by the release of happiness hormones into the bloodstream and is rewarding. 1

While problems with her (premature onset or absence) become the cause of complexes and an inadequate sex life. Knowing the mechanism of ejaculation helps you learn how to control it, as well as avoid possible violations.

What is ejaculation: just the main thing

Ejaculation is a natural physiological process, as a result of which sperm is ejected from a man's urethra. The phenomenon is also called ejaculation. 2

The concept of ejaculation is closely related to orgasm - the highest point of arousal achieved with sexual stimulation (not necessarily physical). Despite the relationship with ejaculation, orgasm is not necessary for fertilization and serves as a kind of positive reinforcement, "rewarding" a man for a successful sexual intercourse.

As a rule, ejaculation is the result of genital stimulation or strong psycho-emotional arousal, but it can be arbitrary. The spinal cord and brain, nerve endings of the genitals and gonads are involved in the process. The normal volume of semen ejaculated during one ejaculation ranges between 2 and 6 ml. 3

How does it arise

In most cases, ejaculation is preceded by strong sexual arousal and genital stimulation. Unconscious ejaculation (eg, nocturnal emission) is also secreted. 4

Thus, ejaculation and orgasm usually become the natural end of sexual intercourse or masturbation. Sometimes arousal without physical stimulation is enough for ejaculation - for example, when viewing relevant photos and videos (most often observed in adolescents, during periods of powerful hormonal imbalances).

Types and types of ejaculation

The answer to the question, what is ejaculation, is quite unambiguous. Nevertheless, depending on the characteristics or violations of the process, several types of ejaculation can be distinguished. Among them are both official and "popular".

Normal ejaculation

It occurs no earlier than 2-5 minutes after the start of intercourse. During ejaculation, sperm is ejected in full, in several stages, no painful sensations are noted. She does not have to shoot, but pour out as well, the "pressure" should normally be medium (the longer there was abstinence the day before, the stronger the ejaculation).

Premature

Ejaculation occurs earlier than 2 minutes have passed since the beginning of intimate contact. In some cases, it occurs during the insertion of the penis into the vagina or even before that. If this happened 1 time - it's okay, if it happens all the time - a health problem. We wrote about what premature ejaculation is here.

Delayed

It is diagnosed when a man cannot reach orgasm for a long time (read more about this phenomenon in a separate article). More often it is temporary - for example, due to fatigue, alcohol or medication - but it can also become permanent (chronic).

Anejaculation

A pathological condition in which ejaculation is not achieved at all. Anejaculation can be associated with both psychological and physical problems - isolation, impaired sensitivity of the penis, damage to the nervous system and spinal cord.

Retrograde ejaculation

Normally, before the ejection of semen, the internal sphincter of the urethra is blocked. If this does not happen, retrograde ejaculation is diagnosed, all or part of the sperm can be thrown into the bladder; instead of going out through the urethra.

Pollution

Involuntary discharge of semen, mainly during sleep. Typical for adolescents during puberty, but also occurs in adult men, especially if they abstain from sex and masturbation for a long time. Read more about wet dreams here.

How it works

A number of signs indicate that ejaculation is approaching:

• arousal becomes more intense, difficult to control;
• the sensitivity of the head of the penis and scrotum increases, they increase in size;
• there is an increase in heart rate, breathing;
• pre-ejaculation occurs - the release of a clear fluid, mainly consisting of the secretion of the bulbourethral glands.

It should be noted that a certain amount of pre-ejaculate is normal, not only before ejection of semen, but also at the beginning of an erection, as well as during intercourse.The intensity of excretion depends on the degree of arousal, and the fluid itself is designed to moisturize the urethra and reduce acidity (both in the urethra of a man and in a woman's vagina) in order to protect sperm. 2

Those wishing to understand how ejaculation occurs, it will be interesting to know what the 2 stages are:

After the end of the second phase, a nerve impulse is transmitted along the pudendal nerve to the spinal cord (its lumbar region), the erection begins to subside and the so-called refractory period sets in, when a man cannot experience an orgasm again. The time is individual for everyone: from a few minutes to 12 hours. On average, 30 minutes. How to recover from sex as quickly as possible is described in a separate article.

How long does it take for a healthy man

On average, the duration of ejaculation (and, accordingly, orgasm) is 5-10 seconds. There may be minor deviations up or down, associated with the frequency of sexual contacts or the use of certain means and practices. 1

What does it depend on

Ejaculation in men is one of the stages of normal intercourse. Its presence or absence depends on many factors, the main one is the state of health. If we talk about individual characteristics, such as the speed of the onset of orgasm or the amount of sperm, they largely correlate with the duration of abstinence. Thus, a prolonged absence of sex leads to the accumulation of a larger volume of ejaculate, but leads to a more rapid achievement of the ejaculation phase.

What should be normal sensations

Orgasm in men is accompanied by intense pleasure and a sense of satisfaction. The following stages are distinguished:

• the sensitivity of the penis is maximized, each touch creates a sharp rush of pleasure;
• there is a feeling of inevitable orgasm;
• ejaculation begins, pleasure reaches its peak at 2-3 pushes, and each splash of sperm is accompanied by a wave of pleasure;
• the intensity of pleasure decreases;
• sexual arousal dies down.

After the erection subsides, the feeling of hunger and thirst, drowsiness is normal.

Often men note that the second and subsequent orgasms (within one day) differ in less intensity of sensations.

Process control

If a man or his partner is not satisfied with the duration of sex, it becomes necessary to learn how to restrain the onset of ejaculation. There are drugs aimed at delaying ejaculation, but in most cases they are unhealthy. Specialist consultation required.

Special techniques that facilitate control over orgasm help to safely prolong intimacy. Recommended:
