Meanwhile let's quickly talk about the male reproductive system, sexual intercourse, the physiologic mechanisms, processes and the whole lot of activities that happens during sexual intercourse taking the male as case study today.
While you are enjoying that lovely moment, do you know what really happens.
Do you know that it is the inflow of blood into the penis that makes it erect.
Do you know the difference between spermatozoa and semen. All these and several more will be revealed in this article.
It's another great opportunity and privilege to share with us today a topic that any where it is taught, people are usually more eager to listen to.
Sex is sweet and it is that period when emotions and feelings run high. It is that moment when both partners forget about beauty, the only thing that matters is the feeling of excitement in the process.
As one of my friends will most times say whenever he talks about sex
"during sex, no one thinks about the nature of the area between the two legs"
In as much as sex has its own advantages, such as boosting of the immune system, stress relief , reduction in risk of hypertension, improve the female bladder control, reduces pain and anxiety, helps you have a better sleep and many more, it could as well be the most deadly weapon if not controlled especially in the cases of multiple sex partners.
what really is sex?
If you ask me what really is sexual intercourse, and reason why people are involved in the act, well this will be my honest response
"sexual intercourse is an act that involves the process where by a male reproductive organ is thrust into a female reproductive tract.
The event resulting to release of semen into the female and this consequently leading to the fusion of the sperm and egg which finally gives rise to a zygote.
Sex gives that unique satisfaction that nothing else can which is obviously why many indulge in it"
I tried as much as possible to summarize a lot of things in the definition I gave above but believe you me, there is a whole lot of event that occurs during those processes.
Beginning from the arousement of both the male and the female counterparts, followed by increase in the muscle tension and the sexual intercourse proper.
Yes, everyone knows that sex is sweet, even those that have not indulged in the activity will still blindly and affirmatively tell you that sex is sweet but the processes involved in this act is overwhelming.
I am going to explain a whole lot of concepts in this article, I will expose those hidden mechanisms that bring about the excitement of sex so that you get to understand that there are certain things that happen inside of you of which you are not totally aware of neither are they fully within your power to control.
Let's begin with the sensitization stage, a stage where the man is aroused and in the mood for sexual intercourse.
A lot of factors come into play after arousement.
The first and most important is erection of the male genitalia - the penis. The penis must be on erection before sexual intercourse.
The big question now is, how does erection occur?
Have ever pondered on this before? Why is that whenever you feel sexually aroused, the Penis responds by erecting but later in the long run becomes flaccid once the feeling of arousement is gone. Here is the reason!
Mechanism of penis erection
Erection of the penis is initiated first by dilation of the the arterioles of the penis. This action allows blood to quickly and gradually rush into a tubular tissue in the
Penis thereby making it strong and erect. Once this happens, the penile erectile muscle tissues surrounding the shaft of the penis - the corpora carvenosa and the corpus spongiosum.
They both compress the veins and by this way doesn't allow the outflow of blood hence ensuring the tugor of the penis.
This corpus spongiosum is that muscle particularly muscle that contracts during ejaculation and what is assist in doing is to force the semen directly into the vagina while the corpora carvenosa plays the major role of keeping the penis erect.
The chief major muscle that actual propels the semen out of the urethra is the contraction of the Bulbocavernososus muscle.
This muscle is very strong and you cannot in any way prevent it from carrying out its job once it has been stimulated.
When ever you hear of erectile dysfunction (inability to obtain an erection) or impotency, the first thing your mind should think of is these two muscles.
They are usually innervated by the parasympathetic nervous system most importantly the fibres of pelvic splanchnic nerves (nervi erigentes) of the body and in a situation whereby thy are not stimulated, the penis will not rise.
Though the two muscle are not their only ones solely associated with impotency, other factors can also contribute.
Penile erection ensures that the spermatozoa is safely transportated all the way from the site of production and storage - the testes, which is enclosed by the scrotal sac to the site of ejection into the female.
Let's continue! Next time, stick around for more.
