Weak Ejaculation: A Mans nightmare ?

[CharlieH]

 

For most males these days, a weak ejaculation can be a traumatic experience, especially having been brainwashed by the excessive online porn that usually has subtle computer graphics (CG) and post-production effects incorporated in them. From expecting some ‘shooting fireworks display’ to instead having just a small trickle, it can make many men experience increased anxiety and depression and make them worried that they might be sick or have some issues or some major sickness coming. It affects their mental issues with feelings of shame and fear of not being able to perform well or being laughed at. Typically, weak ejaculation refers to a reduction in the amount of semen a person ejaculates or a reduction in the force of the ejaculation. Doctors may also call weak ejaculation delayed or inhibited ejaculation.

Recognising the symptoms

 

Weak ejaculation typically refers to a reduction in the amount or force of semen ejected during orgasm. Men experiencing weak ejaculation might notice a less intense orgasm or a decreased volume of semen. According to the International Society for Sexual Medicine, the average semen volume per ejaculate ranges from 1.25 to 5 millilitres, roughly equivalent to one-quarter to one teaspoon of semen.

It’s essential to understand that semen volume can vary from one instance to another. A man who hasn’t ejaculated for several days might produce more semen than someone who ejaculated recently.

Periodic weak ejaculation is usually not a cause for concern. However, consistent changes in ejaculation warrant a visit to the doctor. In a 2016 review, it was found that ejaculation volumes of less than 2 millilitres on two separate occasions might signal an underlying medical disorder.

 

Unpacking the causes

The causes of weak ejaculation can be both physical and psychological. Understanding these factors can help in managing and treating the condition effectively.

• Ageing: As men age, the force and volume of ejaculation may naturally decrease. This is often due to lower levels of male sex hormones.
• Alcohol consumption: Drinking alcohol can reduce blood flow to the penis and depress the central nervous system, resulting in decreased sexual excitement.
• Psychological factors: Depression, changes in attraction to a partner, and previous psychological trauma can all affect one’s ability to ejaculate.
• Nerve damage: Damage to the nerves in the spinal cord, bladder, or other areas involved in ejaculation can impact semen flow. Men with diabetes are particularly prone to nerve damage-induced ejaculation issues. Sometimes, this nerve damage leads to retrograde ejaculation, where some or all of the ejaculate goes back into the bladder instead of exiting through the penis.
• Prostate conditions: An enlarged prostate or prostate cancer can affect ejaculation. Additionally, prostate surgery can result in nerve damage, leading to changes in ejaculation.
• Sexual factors: The physical position during sex and the duration of sexual stimulation can affect orgasm intensity and, consequently, ejaculation.
• Medications: Certain medications can cause weak or delayed ejaculation. These include antidepressants, especially selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), antipsychotics, beta-blockers, muscle relaxants, and strong analgesics like methadone.

Exploring treatment options

The treatment for weak ejaculation depends on the underlying cause. Here are some potential therapies and lifestyle changes that can help improve the condition.Photo by Nik Shuliahin 💛💙 on Unsplash

 

 

• Pelvic muscle exercises: Doctors may recommend Kegel exercises or other forms of pelvic muscle exercises to strengthen the muscles controlling ejaculation. These exercises involve tightening and releasing the pelvic floor muscles, similar to stopping the flow of urine midstream. Men should aim to perform several sets of these exercises daily.
• Medications: While there are no FDA-approved medications specifically for weak ejaculation, doctors might prescribe drugs that enhance sexual function. The type of medication will depend on the underlying cause. Examples include amantadine, bethanechol, bupropion, buspirone, cyproheptadine, yohimbine, and testosterone.
• Supplements and herbs: Although not scientifically validated, some people claim that supplements like Zinc, Ginseng, Ashwagandha, Maca, Tongkat Ali, Gingko Biloba, and Saffron can help boost ejaculation. However, it’s crucial to consult a doctor before taking any supplements.
• Psychotherapy: Addressing psychological factors through therapy can be beneficial. A doctor might refer the patient to a therapist or psychiatrist specializing in sexual medicine.
• Lifestyle changes: Adopting a healthier lifestyle can significantly impact sexual health. Reducing alcohol consumption, quitting smoking, engaging in regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy diet are all positive steps. Pelvic floor exercises and other forms of physical therapy can also enhance the strength of the muscles involved in ejaculation.

When to seek medical help

While weak ejaculation is rarely a medical emergency, it can be concerning if it occurs regularly. Men experiencing consistent episodes of weak ejaculation for six months should consult a doctor. In some cases, weak ejaculation can reduce fertility or indicate an underlying health condition that requires medical attention.

Final thoughts

Weak ejaculation is a complex condition with numerous potential underlying causes. Although there are no FDA-approved medications specifically for weak ejaculation, men can explore various therapies and lifestyle changes to enhance their sexual function. If you notice continued changes in your ejaculation, it’s essential to talk to a doctor. Early intervention can help identify the cause and address any underlying health issues, leading to a better quality of life and sexual health.

Sounds like a dream come true. Less mess and less cleanup innit. Sign me up! For guys like bob though, already cursed by their underwhelming sized manhood, I can see how this can add to their already deep rooted insecurities.

Sorry Charlie, honest

It happens to the best of us, sometimes.

Nice! Return of the stunt c0ck and the fluffer.

I have no problem admitting  I suffer from zero "output" but recognize it as a side effect of the intake of medicinal compounds  that compensate for urinary insufficiency due to prostate enlargement.

Having twice needed urgent catheterization to prevent an exploded bladder which involved a sort of pain like no other I am readily resigned to the condition and the fact that riding pillion on a taxi moto is  probably unwise in the interests of  avoiding an acute  scenario.

The capacity of the average (male? ) bladder is about  800 cc's so when the ER medic informs  you he has drained off 1300 cc's it is not so hard to  comprehend elevation  to a comfort  zone previously unappreciated !

Possibly age for some has less to do with onset of an enlarged prostate than many (here) would like admit but yadda yadda about magic potions is mostly  just  yadda yadda.

If it still works then  good onya!

If it has issues  then get it checked out !

That applies to young and  older because the causes can be complex .......and significantly  dangerous !

Yes, drugs like Proscar can reduce output. And other drugs like Proviron will increase output. Clomid and HCG will also increase sperm count. But none of it really matters unless you are trying to have children.

take duoflow and output goes to 0..... a friend told me. :)

Given that (probably) the majority of the posting old farts here outnumber the  younger voyeur wannabees  then in all seriousness when it pertains to mutually benificient sexual encounters pregnancy is the least consideration.

But  for  men the "potential" is all important to identity.

This is a good time to start a poll: After having any prostate surgery, has your ejaculate increased or decreased? Meant as a joke. It always decreases. The medics don't adress this beforehand. After the fact, former ejaculation "excess" is absorbed by some sort of bodily absorbation they say, bodily evaporation so to speak.

At any rate, this thread sould be moved swiftly to the "Health-Forum" to be commented by "Sheryl". Avoiding reckless further wild speculations concerning this matter.

Sadly interest in the activity has decreased...

[mania]

Ted, played by Ben Stiller in "Something About Mary" had no problems with weak ejaculation 😅

 

 

[pacovl46]

I don't remember which male porn star said it, but he was famous for his copious loads. When they asked him for his secret he said celery, copious amounts of it, the day before shooting. Pair that with some weed and you're golden! 🤪

[Expat68]

Don't have to worry about it, since my operation mine doesn't even come out

[thrilled]

I believe age has a great deal to do with it. I’m believing 50-60 on up it just gets less and less. I doubt there are many or even any of us that over 80 can fill a teaspoon. Part of life

mine comes out like an erupting volcano! 

 

the ladies sure like it 🙂

Had my 75th birthday yesterday.

Just had my morning <deleted> and still reaching above my belly button.

Quite chuffed about that.

A true story obviously 😂

However, when I was 13 or 14 years old I took a contest with 2 friends about ejaculations. I was surprised when their sperm hit the ceiling. Never expected that.

What were your experiences?😳

How do you measure how much sperm there was, when it's inside her, and gets washed out quite soon after?
