Facts about the penis: the internal mechanics of ejaculation and how to improve it

Since sexual function is so important from both a reproductive and a psychological standpoint, it would seem that a great deal of research would have gone into figuring out how all of its aspects work. However, surprisingly few studies have focused on what can be considered the main event: ejaculation. Understanding this process can help improve men’s awareness of how to make their climax more pleasurable. What is known about ejaculation and how factors such as the use of penile vitamins and minerals can affect this is discussed here.

What is ejaculation?

Before going into detail about the mechanics of ejaculation, it’s helpful to define exactly what this term means. Ejaculation is one of the four “e’s” of male sexual function, which physiologist Roy Levin describes as “arousal, erection, emission, and ejaculation.” While arousal and erection are quite familiar to most men, the emission and ejaculation phases (actually two aspects of the same process) are less well understood.

The general belief, which was summed up in the science of orgasm (2005), argues that the following reactions occur:

1. The seminal ducts fill with fluid;

2. This fluid accumulates, creating pressure on a closed sphincter in the seminal ducts.

3. The accumulated pressure causes the seminal sphincters to open and release the fluid.

This idea, known as the “pressure chamber theory”, is considered debatable, but it is the usual working explanation. As for what physiological process causes these things to happen, both the spine and the brain are thought to be involved, although even men without brain function can be stimulated to ejaculate.

What is meant by “dry ejaculation”?

Dry ejaculation occurs when an orgasm occurs without the release of seminal fluid. In this case, the semen can be diverted into the bladder; this is harmless, but when it happens regularly, it can be a cause of infertility. Most men report getting just as much pleasure from a dry orgasm as they do from a normal discharge of fluid.

What happens in the brain during/after orgasm?

Orgasm is not just a matter of local stimulation: the brain plays an important role in the experience of pleasure, as well as in the preparation. When orgasm occurs, the pleasure centers of the brain are turned on and endorphins are released into the body. This leads to feelings of intense physical and psychological pleasure that are the ordinary goals of sexual activity.

Tips to improve orgasms and general penile function

While ejaculation can actually take place without a feeling of pleasure, the ecstasy of sex is generally what men are looking for, so it helps to know how to maintain sexual pleasure or enhance it further. To get the most out of their orgasms, men should keep the following in mind:

1. Because the brain is directly involved in sexual pleasure, creating a relaxing atmosphere and visualizing (either internally or through the use of visual materials) erotic images can help take the ejaculation experience to new heights.

2. Experimenting with different positions and techniques can stimulate new nerve pathways and create different types of sensations. It is often recommended to try something new, either alone or with a partner, to make the climax more intense and pleasurable.

3. Maintain healthy penis skin and increase sensitivity by using a penis health formula (Man1 Man Oil is recommended by most health professionals) that contains essential vitamins, antioxidants, and moisturizers. The right combination of penile nutrients can be helpful in increasing the flexibility, tone and responsiveness of the erogenous skin and can therefore increase the pleasurable sensations experienced during sexual activity.
