The More You Know: Erection Edition

  Author : Dr. Sheikh Jeelani   / BNYS | FTECH

To say that erections are mysterious is a bit of an understatement. When we were younger, erections seemed to happen at the most random and embarrassing moments! As we got older, an erection became a symbol of virility and deeply connected to our personal identity. For most men, erections are summoned and seem to arise of their own accord at the appropriate time. Then there are the times when you desperately want to have an erection, and for some reason, maybe anxiety, it either doesn’t show up at the party or its leaves a bit early. Our relationship with erections is complicated, to say the least.

Most men rely on an erection to be the primary focus of all sexual expression and pleasure. And, while we definitely want erections on the menu, it’s always important to remember that erections are not necessary for either ejaculation or an orgasm; erections are not mandatory to enjoy sexual pleasure. Many men are surprised to discover this. If a man gradually develops erectile dysfunction, he will often figure this out on his own through masturbation. However, men who have experienced sudden onset erectile dysfunction, such as from prostate cancer surgery or some kind of trauma, tend to be almost immobilized sexually because they cannot get an erection. Many patients express astonishment that they are able to experience an orgasm and ejaculation with a flaccid penis.

Does it feel different? Yes, slightly. The muscular contractions are different; they are somewhat diminished. Some men feel the orgasm may be slightly less intense, but other men say they experience the orgasm more fully in their entire groin area with a flaccid penis. But no matter what, all men concur that an orgasm/ejaculation with a flaccid penis is better than no orgasm/ejaculation at all!

Life Imposes Things On You That You Cannot Control, But You Still Have The Choice Of How You are Going To Live Through This.
