But the quantity varies according to sexual activity. In fact, this figure corresponds to an average quantity after 3 days of abstinence. The closer you ejaculate, the lower the quantity of sperm, down to 1ml when you ejaculate 2 times a day. And <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xlovecam.com\/blog\/en\/pour-un-sperme-de-meilleure-qualite-portez-des-calecons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">for better-quality sperm, consider wearing underpants<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Pre-ejaculatory fluid<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Before ejaculation, a liquid is produced by Cowper\u2019s glands and the periurethral glands (located at the urethra). This liquid lubricates the urethra, facilitating the passage of sperm during ejaculation. This liquid is supposed to remain inside the urethra, but some men may experience hypersecretion and discharge in the moments (more or less) preceding ejaculation. In any case, this liquid contains no spermatozoa, so there\u2019s no risk of fertilization.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ejaculation sequence<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ejaculation takes place in 3 phases:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Emission: this is a preparatory phase which allows the liquid to concentrate in the posterior urethra.<\/li>\n<li>Expulsion: the sperm is expelled by contraction of the perineal and urethral muscles, opening of the striated sphincter and closure of the bladder neck (which prevents the sperm from rising into the bladder). It occurs in a jerky fashion at intervals of around 0.8 seconds.<\/li>\n<li>Orgasm: sensations in the perineum induce a sensation of intense pleasure at the moment of ejaculation. It\u2019s a cerebral and sensory response to a physical mechanism. At the same time, other symptoms may be observed, such as increased heart rate, dilated pupils, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Ejaculation and orgasm<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ejaculation may induce orgasm, but it\u2019s not necessarily linked. It would be reductive to simplify male sexuality in this way. Not every ejaculation leads to an orgasm, and every orgasm can be of varying intensity. An orgasm is a sensation of overall pleasure that starts in the genitals and pelvis, adds to the sensations associated with contraction of the perineum and the various muscles involved, and works its way up to the brain.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Controlling ejaculation <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You can control your ejaculation by controlling your body. Particularly the muscles of the perineum. For the man, it\u2019s all about listening to what he feels and sensing his ejaculation coming\u2026 Before it happens. It\u2019s all about listening to your body. While this may seem like an obvious answer, in practice it can be difficult to put into practice. You need to know your perineal muscles well enough to contract them sufficiently to hold back from ejaculating at the moment of maximum arousal.<\/p>\n<p>Are you ready?
