Ejaculation Process

Will do and thanks, just like to keep the little lady happy!! After being gone for a year in Iraq, you know there is alot of lost time to make up for!

Welcome back. And start making up for that time.

Avocet, you did a great job on this one. Propz to you. Keep dropping the knowlege, oh yeah !

Thanks. The more we know about what happens during sex, the more likely we are to have better sex.

This is the part I`ve always wondered about, the living sperm cells being metabolized by the body. Is there another process in our body similar to this one?

In the case of excess sperm, they die in the metabolic process but that’s normal and natural.

There are lots of similar processes. Just a couple:

When you have a bruise, say on your leg, your body gradually absorbs the blood products (cells) within the bruise until it is gone.

When you have a head cold and swallow mucus, you re-process those mucus enzymes through your digestive system.

If you diet with the goal of reducing body fat, your stored fat “feeds” you during the time you are eating less (and hopefully exercising more). Same if you are lost, and foodless, in the Carpathian forests.

:) I was just trying to make a comparison… (I think)In the Taoist theory their biggest argument for abstinence is the fact that the living sperm cells die and they get metabolized and you “absorb” their living energy so to say. So I was just trying to find out if there are similar processes in our body that might give us that energy.

Far be it from me to knock Taoist theory; there is much that is excellent in it. However in this light, Taoism ignores certain realities of the male reproductive system, probably because when the philosophy evolved, there was not much technical information about our anatomies.

Our reproductive systems are designed for sex and not just several times a year. Our seminal vessicles, prostates, and the rest are in a constant state of self-renewal. During the minute you may spend here reading this, for example, you will have manufactured about 50,000 sperm. While you may absorb those not used for sex, you do have a prostate and s. vessicles that need some exercise now and then; the fluid exchanges that occur within them because of ejaculation are healthy and have been even been shown to reduce incidences of both prostatitis and prostate cancer, when ejaculation occurs at some regular and fairly frequent rate.

How about a vasectomy? That would prevent the sperm cells from exiting the body, and they would get metabolized, no?

Yes. Metabolized.

When you have a ligation, they don’t even get out of the scrotal area to mix with the other fluids when you ejaculate. You still make sperm, they just don’t get to where they could ever find an egg.

I wonder what would happen if one would apply some sort of anesthetic cream to the perineum area (PC/BC muscle). My guess is that the muscle wont be able to contract, no?

An anesthetic cream would only numb the skin, it wouldn’t be strong enough to penetrate to the muscles.

Hmmm… how about an injection? I assume that would work. Theoretically, I`m curious as to what would happen to an erection/orgasm with a numbed PC/BC muscle. If the muscle is numbed before getting an erection, will one be able to achieve erection? And if the answer is yes, how is one gonna orgasm with the numbed PC/BC?

A8,

I thought this was a really good write up on the erection process.

What I’d really like to see in addition to this, is a writeup of the chemical process - the necessary chemical components - of an erection. To my knowledge, there are like 3-4 necessary chemicals the body must convert from existing chemicals and/or nutrients to power an erection. It is not just blood at all, but these chemicals are the driving force for the erection. Well, chems are the driving force for pretty much everything in us, in a sense.

I remember reading about it and thinking, I need to write this info down, but failed to do so. So much of ED is down to improper nutrition (and I don’t mean macronutrient intake like protein, carbs, fat).

One nutrient I know of is choline. Another is pantothenic acid.

That’s a great idea, Buster. When I have some time I might take that on.
