Ejaculation

Ejaculation

Needless to say, most men don't think too much about the subtle intricacies of what actually
physically occurs when they have an erection and orgasm. It is probably a good thing because it
really is somewhat of complex process. Fortunately, the process is a very pleasurable one and
the less you think about it, the better off you are anyway.

But it is important, if you are struggling with erectile dysfunction or ejaculation difficulties, to be
aware of what exactly is happening with your body. For men, sex begins with an interest and
desire. From that point, the state of arousal begins to emerge. Often this is the result of what the
man sees, hears, touches, or imagines from a sexual point of view. As this state of arousal
intensifies, the nerves in the pelvis area send a message to the arteries in the penis to let more
blood in, which produces an erection.

After full arousal, the next stage is ejaculation, which actually starts with an emission. The man's
automatic nervous system and that part of which is located in the lower spinal column area,
sends nerve messages to the prostate gland to begin contracting and sending fluid into the
uretha. At that time, like a great symphony of physical music, muscles in the van deferens and
seminal vesicles start expelling semen into the uretha. Taking their cue, the muscles in the penis
and pelvis begin a series of extremely pleasurable contractions that expel the semen forward and
out of the penis.

Ejaculation is then followed by a state referred to as detumenscence. The arteries in the penis
begin to narrow and the veins become larger to allow blood to drain from the penis and help it
return to it's normal pre-arousal state.

As mentioned earlier, this whole process is instinctive and automatic. Within the very
pleasurable act of sex there are quite a few complex interactions that are occurring. Because of
this, things can go wrong - for any number of reasons, which leads to men experiencing
problems with erections and ejaculations. Although complicated from a physiological viewpoint,
sexual performance issues are very treatable and the success rate is quite high in terms of
dealing with either erectile dysfunction or ejaculation disorders.
