All About Ejaculation

Ejaculation

This is when a boy’s sperm gets spurted out from the end of his penis. It usually happens at the time of orgasm when you have been sexually stimulated. It also can occur whilst you are asleep, when it is called a ‘wet dream’ or a ‘nocturnal emission’. Ejaculation is a reflex which cannot normally be stopped once it has begun without a great deal of effort (and sometimes pain). When you ejaculate the two ducts which carry your sperm from your testes (balls) which are known as vas deferens contract to propel sperm from the epididymis ( which is part of your balls, where it was stored. When you ejaculate is is normally felt as a point of ‘no return’. During ejaculation proper, your semen is ejected through your urethra which is the tube running the length of your penis, and the same one that you pee out of.

Changes in amount, speed and frequency of ejaculation…..

The force your sperm spurts out during ejaculation varies greatly from one boy to another and from one time to another. The Americans, who have measured the speed of sperm during ejaculation say it is about 29 miles and hour! The normal amount of semen and sperm that comes out is somewhere between half a teaspoon full and a tablespoon full. Exactly how much comes out depends on the amount of time that has passed since you ejaculated before. On the whole, the longer the interval since you last ‘came’ the more that comes out.

How strongly your sperm shoots out each time varies greatly – some men can make their sperm shoot several feet whilst with others it just oozes out. Many things will influence this including when you last ‘came’ and how strongly sexually stimulated you are.!

When you ejaculate, how many actual sperm come out in your semen also varies, including when you last came, how warm your testicles (balls) are, how old you are, how sexually excited you have been, your testosterone levels etc, etc

Most boys need at least half an hour from ejaculating once to being able to do it again so don’t worry if you can’t come again straight away.

How long do you have to have sex before it happens?

Again there are lots of differences between people as to variations as to how long you have to have sex before your ejaculation occurs. Some research has shown that most men can only avoid ejaculation during active thrusting for five minutes or less. A few can ejaculate more or less at will, and delay ejaculation for an hour or longer during sexual intercourse.

When a man ejaculates before he wants to it is called premature ejaculation.
