Ultimate Tips On Improving Semen Production & Male Potency
Since the beginning of time, it seems humans have been fixated
on the beauty and power of the penis. A symbol of manhood,
strength, dominance and success, the penis and all its workings
have prominently figured in the art and imagination of cultures
worldwide. Yet all the attention given to penis size, erection
capability and lasting power are really pretty much an adjunct
to the real moment of truth: the orgasm. After all, isn't that
the real goal of all the penis-centered concern, to have bigger
and more potent climaxes?
That may explain why the spotlight has focused more recently on
ejaculation. Men are considering not only the intensity or
strength of orgasms, but how their volume of ejaculate affects
many aspects of their sexual identity and enjoyment.
OVERVIEW OF EJACULATION
To get a sense of the vital role of a healthy, abundant volume
of ejaculate in male pleasure, let's take a look at how male
climax works.
First, semen collects in the ejaculatory ducts during sexual
stimulation.
Male orgasm happens at the peak of sexual pleasure, when the
various muscle groups contract simultaneously: rhythmic
contractions of the pubococcygeus muscle (pc muscle) occur along
with contractions of the anal sphincter, rectum and perineum,
and the ejaculatory ducts and muscles around the penis.
The contracting muscles are the key to delivering the load of
semen.
The first few contractions are intense and close together,
occurring at about 0.8-second intervals.
As orgasm continues, the contractions diminish in intensity and
duration and occur at less frequent intervals.
The exact amount of ejaculate is determined by a number of
factors, including heredity, diet, overall health, frequency of
sexual activity and age.
The content, however, is about the same for all men: the
ejaculate contains sperm and a long list of components that read
like a vitamin pill label: ascorbic acid (vitamin C), calcium,
chlorine, cholesterol, choline, citric acid, creatine, fructose,
glutathione, hyaluronidase, inositol, lactic acid, magnesium,
nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, purine, pyrimidine, pyruvic
acid, sodium, sorbitol, vitamin B12, and zinc.
Each of these ingredients, though, represents just a tiny amount
-- and the total measure of a typical "load" is somewhere
between 1.5 ml and 5 ml.
The majority of the ejaculate volume is fluid from the prostate
and the seminal vesicles.
The taste of semen varies greatly from one man to another, again
affected by diet and overall physical health.
The range goes from salty to sweet, may be bitter or mellow, and
sometimes creates a very mild "numbing" effect to the lips and
tongue of the taster.
The taste can be deliberately changed, according to a number of
online and physician's sources.
Healthy ejaculate will appear either translucently whitish or
grayish to opaque white.
Men who've had a vasectomy will have lighter, more translucent
semen, devoid of the typical 15 to 20 million sperm of a usual
ejaculation. Though a variety of textures and appearances are
within the healthy range, most people equate very white, dense
and more voluminous ejaculate with a healthier and more potent
male.
INFLUENCES ON EJACULATION VOLUME
When should a man be concerned about his volume and potency?
Sometimes a dramatic decrease in ejaculate volume may indicate
blockage of one of the ejaculatory ducts.
Duct obstruction is diagnosed by prostate ultrasound.
Other possible causes of decreased volume include retrograde
ejaculation or a long-term infection of the prostate (chronic
prostatitis). Decreased semen volume may simply be a normal part
of aging and may not necessarily result in decreased fertility.
If there is concern about the amount, appearance and texture of
the ejaculate, it may be advisable to consider semen testing by
a qualified physician. The standard semen analysis measures
semen volume and pH, microscopically analyses for debris and
agglutination, assesses sperm concentration and morphology,
counts sperm leukocytes and identifies immature germ cells.
Usually this is carried out after two to seven days of sexual
abstinence, on a semen sample collected at the doctor's office.
The physician will probably also wish to conduct tests to rule
out urinary infection, gonorrhea and Chlamydia.
In many cases, the semen analysis yields results that are
technically within the "normal" range, yet men may still feel
dissatisfied with the contracting power of orgasms, the volume
and appearance of their ejaculate, and their fertility.
BENEFITS OF INCREASING VOLUME
The advantages of orgasming with greater volume and power are
numerous.
By increasing both volume of fluid and quantity/health of sperm,
the load is not only bigger, more impressive and more
pleasurable, but much more potent, too. The larger the volume of
fluid and sperm that's available for each orgasm, the more
contractions it takes to shoot all of it -- and each contraction
is stronger and more intense. The male orgasm, typically quite a
brief event, can become a much longer-lasting experience.
Potency and fertility are of concern to all men, but
particularly those with an immediate desire to impregnate their
mate.
Infertility is increasingly common, and a guide is a good help
in this area.
Finally, there are significant benefits to a man's confidence
when he is able to increase ejaculate volume and power. Sexual
confidence is tied not only to success in romantic endeavors,
but too many other kinds of success as well; studies show
confidence in sexual identity carries over into every aspect of
a man's life.
