Talk:Ejaculation

I don't believe 7,200 as the average number of times a man ejaculates in his lifetime. This figure is plausable as the number of time a man has sex in his lifetime but that ignores the significant number of times he ejaculates from masturbation. Does anyone know where the figure came from and any ideas of how to derived a more accurate one?

This is an article on EJACULATION - so doesn't need a load of sperm "facts". I've removed these but kept the ejaculation "facts". Will look at them in detail later and then edit/remove depending on their veracity.

Removed "Also, the use of marijuana and other substances may kill or damage sperm." as it is usually debunked as a myth.

I'm pretty damn open minded and all, but do you REALLY need to make that picture the first thing you see? How about putting it as an external link. It could quite easily put someone off from reading the rest of the article.

On second thought, I don't think it even adds any value. Its not captioned or properly formatted. I think that someone tried to pull this off as vandalism, but that it hasn't been realized yet. I'll revert once someone reformats it, puts a caption, and verifies the copyright status. But for now, its gone. --Comrade009

Suggest including a picture may help this article. --Rebroad 16:07, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I've added an anatomical diagram. If anyone wants to use the source image to make a new diagram with an erect penis (as is anatomically appropriate for this article), please feel free to do so. -- The Anome 16:23, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)

A recent edit of mine was reverted without explanation. The edit explained the involvement of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems in ejaculation and erection, and removed some repetitions and an unrelated external link. In the absense of good reasons not to do so, I will restore those edits in two days. AxelBoldt 05:10, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I had notified user:Doug22123 on his talk page and he replied, saying that he'd prefer to keep the link to anorgasmia. So I kept that link, restored the rest, and he now reverted everything again, without additional discussion.

I am reverting, awaiting discussion. AxelBoldt 23:49, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)

How come we can't have a picture of a guy blowing his load? I think it would really add to the dynamics of the page.207.157.121.50 12:02, 11 October 2005 (UTC)mightyafrowhitey

I question the discussion regarding how men and women tend to view the force and volume of ejaculation. In particular, the statement that: “a low volume ejaculate that simply oozes out may disappoint a partner as this implies that not much time has passed since the last ejacualtion, especially if the last ejaculation was with another partner.” I'm not familiar with any women who actually believe this, and the article doesn't provide any corroborating references.Snorgenhorpher 04:48, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Edited to remove a load of material that is really just someone's intuitions - and is not supported by any evidence - much of it added by 24.199.153.49.

Ejaculation Velocity

The quoted average ejaculation velocity is clearly wrong. Given a "muzzle velocity" of 28 mph or 12.5 meters per second, an erection angle of 30 degrees and a penis height above ground of one meter, I get an ejaculation distance of 15 meters, or close to 50 feet. That's better than a Super Soaker! See the Wikipedia "Trajectory" article for the physics formula I used. Therefore I am removing the urban legend / email forwardable figure.
