Understanding Ejaculation: A Clear Guide for Senior Citizens

Ejaculation is a natural biological process in males where semen is expelled from the body through the penis. It usually happens during sexual activity or sexual stimulation.

Here’s a simple step-by-step explanation:

1. Sexual arousal: When you become sexually stimulated—through thoughts, touch, or other sensations—your body begins to respond.
2. Physical changes: Blood flow increases to the penis, causing it to become firm (an erection).
3. Build-up: After continued stimulation, muscles around the reproductive organs contract and semen (which contains sperm and fluid) collects in the urethra, the tube inside the penis.
4. Ejaculation: Rhythmic muscle contractions push the semen out through the tip of the penis.

As we age, it’s normal for the intensity, frequency, or ease of ejaculation to change. Factors such as health, medications, and overall physical condition can influence this.

If you have any concerns or questions about sexual health or ejaculation, it is a good idea to speak with a healthcare provider. They can provide personalized advice and support.
