Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation

15.8K
Sexual stimulation can take various forms, such as physical touch and visual or auditory cues. When this happens, the parasympathetic reflex in the sacral portion of the spinal cord is activated. This reflex stimulates the release of nitric oxide (NO), which then dilates the arterioles in the penis, increasing blood flow to the erectile tissues - the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum.
The blood filling the erectile tissues compresses the veins, which helps to prevent blood from leaving...

Accessory Glands of the Male Reproductive System

The accessory ducts involved in sperm maturation and transportation include the epididymides, vasa deferentia, ejaculatory ducts, and urethra. These ducts play a critical role in the maturation, storage, and transportation of sperm from the testes to the urethra, where it is then released during ejaculation.
The epididymis is a small, comma-shaped organ located at the back of each testicle. The epididymis can be divided into three main parts: the head, body, and tail. The head of the epididymis...

Penis

20.6K
The penis serves a dual role in sexual reproduction and urination. It consists of three main regions: the glans penis, the body, and the root, each with distinct functions and unique anatomical features.
Anatomy of the Penis
The glans penis, or the head, is the terminal part of the penis and houses the external urethral orifice, the exit point for urine and semen. Covered by the prepuce, or foreskin, the glans is noted for its sensitivity and plays a key role in sexual pleasure. The body of the...

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Sexual Health
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Investigating the relationship between circumcision surgical technique and sexual function.
  • Examining the potential impact of residual mucosal cuff length on penile sensitivity and ejaculation control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the length of the mucosal cuff remaining after circumcision in patients with and without premature ejaculation (PE).
  • To identify potential surgical factors contributing to PE.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective, multicentered study of 208 sexually active men without erectile dysfunction.
  • Recorded circumcision age, operator (surgeon/non-surgeon), penile length, and dorsal/ventral mucosal measurements.
  • Compared measurements between patients with and without PE.

Main Results:

  • Patients with PE exhibited statistically significantly longer dorsal and ventral mucosal measurements (p<0.001).
  • No significant difference was found based on the operator's surgical status (surgeon vs. non-surgeon).
  • Mean circumcision age was 5.7±4.2 years; mean mucosal sizes were 15.02±4.58 mm (dorsal) and 16.31±4.92 mm (ventral).

Conclusions:

  • Excessive dorsal and ventral mucosal tissue left after circumcision is a risk factor for premature ejaculation (PE).
  • Surgical technique during circumcision should prioritize minimizing residual mucosal tissue to potentially mitigate PE risk.
