Male enhancement products can work wonders for your sex life, regardless if you’re the most virile guy or are dealing with sexual dysfunction issues. But before you choose the male enhancement product that best suits your needs, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with your equipment and how it functions. Your penis is basically designed to do three things:
Direct the flow of urine
Inside your penis is a narrow hose-like structure called the urethra, which is attached to your bladder. You get the urge to urinate when your bladder approaches the maximum capacity of urine it can hold. Urine is flushed out of your system through the urethra and out the tip of your penis. The PC muscle (pubococcygeal muscle) regulates this process. It’s the muscle you flex to stop urine flow or empty out those last few drops.
Achieve an erection
As you know, your penis needs to achieve an erection so you can penetrate the vagina during sexual intercourse. Your penis is equipped with two chambers collectively known as corpora cavernosa. These cave-like chambers run the length of the organ and are filled with spongy tissue. When you are sexually stimulated, the corpora cavernosa is filled with blood until your penis grows firm and erect. After you ejaculate or when the stimulation ends, the blood exits the two chambers and your penis returns to its flaccid state.
There is usually a recovery or “refractory” period ranging from several minutes to a full day – depending on the equipment’s age – before you can achieve another erection. About half of your penis is hidden inside the body even when erect. It is fastened to the pelvis undercarriage for support.
Deposit semen within the vagina during ejaculation
Your swimmers are manufactured inside your testicles, two ball joints below the drive shaft. From the testicles, the sperm passes into a soft, fibrous organ behind each ball known as the epididymis, where it acquires the long tail necessary for swimming. Your sperm is then stored in the vas deferens, a thin hose which loops around and splices into the urethra just below the bladder.
When you’re getting some action and shifting into high sexual gear, your sperm is mixed with liquid from your prostate gland and adjoining seminal vesicles to create the transmission fluid you know as your semen. The whitish fluid gathers in a holding tank, which gradually swells to pinch the bladder shut and prevent urine from trickling in. Finally, a series of powerful muscular contractions expels the semen from the urethra.
