The Sperm Cell: An Overview

You may pretty much have an idea where babies come from. (No, they're not from the stork!) To put it bluntly, you need a sperm cell and egg cell to make a baby. During sexual intercourse, a man's sperm, which is produced by the testes (testicles), is released into a woman's cervix, which "swims" to the fallopian tube. From the millions of sperm cells, one penetrates the egg in a process called fertilization. From there, a single life begins. 

But where does the sperm come from? There are millions of sperm produced by your testes (testicles) everyday. Sperm cells undergo the natural cell division which inevitably leads to its maturation. Half of the sperm carries a Y chromosome (inherited from your dad) and an X chromosome (inherited from your mom). If a Y-carrying sperm fertilizes the woman's egg, the result is a baby girl. If on the other hand, it's the X-carrying sperm which fertilized the egg, then it's a baby boy. 

During ejaculation, sperm is pumped into the man's vas deferens where fructose, seminal fluids, and other chemicals are secreted. Your sperm plus other seminal fluids (semen) hurries past the bladder through the urethra and out of your penis. 

In order for the sperm to enter the woman's cervix, you need to experience erection, orgasm, and ejaculation. An erection takes place when your penis is stimulated or when you have an erotic thought. There is a sudden rush of blood to the erectile tissue chambers in the penis. This, in turn, engorges the penis making it hardened, enlarged and elevated. 

With continued stimulation, orgasm and ejaculation ensues. Orgasm, known as the sexual climax, is a pleasurable emotional or psychological response that accompanies ejaculation. There are two stages of orgasm: the first one, called the ejaculatory inevitability, takes place two to four seconds before ejaculation. During these crucial seconds, you may be aware that you are about to "come," and you could not do anything to control it. Your seminal vesicles and your prostrate gland begin to throb. The second stage of orgasm takes place when you involuntarily ejaculate semen in convulsive surges. On average, one teaspoon (2-15 milliliters) of semen is ejaculated containing of 40 to 150 million sperm! The "first squirt" typically contains the largest amount of sperm. 

Afterwards, you go through a recovery period where you cannot experience another orgasm. This may last several minutes and sometimes for hours.

Cumming too fast?

Do you reach orgasm faster than you can say, "Fuck"? Many men dread this situation, and with good reason. Cumming too early or too fast robs you and your partner of the pleasure that sexual intercourse can give. This is believed to be the most common sexual complaint of couples. About 29 percent of men are reportedly bothered by these episodes. 

There are many reasons why a man "cums" too fast. Biologically, men experience climax much earlier than women. They do so 2-3 minutes after penetration, in contrast to women who take their time (about 12-14 minutes). Likewise, there are also psychological factors that bring about early ejaculation. These include guilt, anxiety (lack of experience), or fear of sexually transmitted infections, potential pregnancy, etc. Older men are also known to be able to control their ejaculation as compared with their younger counterparts. They credit it to their experience. 

So, how can you control yourself from ejaculating too quickly? One way is to exercise your PC (pubococcygeus) muscle, which is the primary "sexual muscle" that forms part of the pelvis. The PC muscle is largely involved with sexual functions such as ejaculation and orgasm. With regular exercise, this muscle can provide firmer and larger erections, powerful ejaculations and more intense climaxes. 

So where is this muscle located? Try stopping the flow of your urine midway. The PC muscle, located between the anus and scrotum, is the one you contracts when you try to stop the flow of your urine. 

How to go about exercising your PC muscles? Try clenching and releasing your PC muscle in ten-second periods. Perform three sets of this. Take a breather. Now, try the clench-and-release technique for five seconds. Perform ten sets of this. This time, try tightening the muscle for 30 seconds and relaxing for 30 seconds. Perform three sets of this. 

This exercise is rather simple and easy to perform. You can do it by yourself -- just about anytime and anywhere. You don't need any device or contraption to exercise your PC muscle. But, like all exercise regimens, you need to commit to a routine devotedly. Famous porn stars, with explosive cumshots, are even rumored to perform these exercises faithfully.

So next time you and your partner are making love, try to go inside her and pause for awhile. Don't move for several seconds; then try tightening and relaxing your PC muscle. 

You also have to keep in mind that different women also prefer different types of sex. Some prefer the long and sensual approach; while others favor the pound-pound-pound approach. It's always better to know your partner's preference so that you can both enjoy an intimate sexual fun.

Penis Girth

The age-old question, "Does size matter?" has been debated for eons. Both men and women alike are interested to know what really gives. Men are obsessed with the size of their penis and many have found ways to make their member larger. That's why the penis enlargement industry is booming offering everything -- from cream, pills, patches, weights, traction devices, and even surgery. The media and the overly-hyped stories of 'well-endowed' men have undoubtedly contributed to the already convoluted subject of penis size. 

Men with larger organs are regarded to be more manly and better in bed. Thus, "Bigger is better" has become a popular adage. Furthermore, this insight seems to emanate from male vanity rather than the pleasure that your penis can provide. A small penis is equated to diminished masculinity, virility, and at times, also associated to impotency. 

But, in fact, most researches have revealed that the average penis size is not the 12" advertised by porn stars. Besides, these porn stars are not representative of the average man. They may very well be more well-endowed than you (this is their luck) or have undergone some enlargement procedure. The average penis size is actually between 5.5 to 6.4 inches in erect length and 4.7 to 5.2 inches in girth. 

But countless women have agreed that the length of the penis has not much to do with sexual pleasure; but width may indeed matter in the long run. It has to do with stimulating their G-spot which is supposed to be located about two inches inside the upper wall of the vagina. 

The nerves that are stimulated during sexual intercourse are located near the entrance of the vagina and the anus. Penis girth is significant here since a meatier penis can stretch out the vaginal or anal walls that stimulate the nerves. This creates friction and sensation that most women love during a sexual experience. 

Anyway, preference is still based on the individual woman. Because of the points highlighted above, many women have a penchant for larger dicks. But remember, it's not only a big penis women crave. They seek passion, intimacy and emotional connection. Remember to show her your love by giving her flowers, a sensual massage, or candles with rose petals. Assault her senses with romantic gestures and you'll be well rewarded. If you have a girthy penis, you'll be rewarded even more .

Experiment on different sexual positions and incorporate toys in your love-making. Identify her key erogenous zones (i.e., her clitoris) and come up with techniques to stimulate her -- with your tongue, vibrator, fingers, etc. 

Penis size is important but it's also the combination of skill, passion and romance. After all, sex is as much fun as you make it.

How to deal with the stress, insecurity and anxiety caused by a small penis

A small penis is a curse for men. Although one could argue that other physical problems, such as not growing tall enough or a receding hairline, are just as bad, there are few things that can make a man shy away from physical intimacy like a small penis. Such men are not afraid of being rejected out of hand by women; they are actually afraid of being accepted because rejection is likely to be waiting down the line. The deep emotional scarring caused by a small penis acts like a barrier preventing many men from forming any kind of friendship that involves a certain level of physical intimacy. Changing in a locker room, going to the beach or a swimming pool and other such activities are all potential exposure situations which men have to avoid, no matter how much they may like to engage in them. 

When it comes to finding a girlfriend, a small penis is the worst possible asset. It beats even not showering frequently enough, because a small penis makes a man ridiculous in the eyes of women. Many times it doesn’t even matter if the ladies in question make no comment on the size of the penis. The men always suppose themselves inadequate and suspect women of trying to protect or to fool them. This pattern of shyness, suspicion and distrust stays with men throughout their lives and tends to influence decisions on other issues. The negative impact on both the social and private lives of such men is enormous. Any man or woman who comes too close is under suspicion because they may reveal the “secret”, purposely or not, and expose the man in question to public ridicule. 

The best way to deal with this issue is to try and get over the small size. Instead of letting this taint all your relationships with other people, you should count their blessings and ask themselves if a small penis is really that important in life. Stop comparing yourself with pornstars and bodybuilders with thighs as big as your torso, because such comparisons will do you no good. If you were average in physics, would you compare yourself with Einstein? I don’t think so. The second thing you can do is to look for the more decent girls, those who do not move around from one man to another. If a girl hasn’t had any sex in a while, she is sure to be tight enough that your small size won’t matter. And last, but not least: learn to trust other people. Once penis size is out of the way, you will understand that friendship and love are beautiful things.
