Are you a dribbler? A shooter? A gusher? When you describe how much you ejaculate, are you shy about it? Not concerned? Very, very, very proud?
For some men, the size of the boat is the most important factor when in the bedroom with the size of the spurt secondary. Others, it's right out there on the profile as the important factor, "looking for big shooters."
Of course you’ve measured your penis to See How Your Member Matches Up, but you’ve probably never taken the steps to actually quantify how your after-sex eruptions compare to that of other dudes. But still, it might have crossed your mind—is the amount you are ejaculating normal?
Lots of guys worry about whether the volume of their ejaculate is cause for concern, says Daniel Williams, M.D., an associate professor in the department of urology and director of male reproductive medicine and microsurgery at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.
And because men don’t actually measure it, it can be difficult to even gauge what they’re sending off. According to parameters developed by the World Health Organization, the average volume of ejaculate for men is 3.7 ml, or roughly three-quarters of a teaspoonful.
Even if your eruptions don’t quite hit that benchmark, you still might be perfectly normal. But if you’re only producing 1.5 ml or less of the sticky stuff—less than one-third of a teaspoon—that’s when you may need further evaluation.
“Levels under that—or having a noticeable change— can raise your suspicion that a man may have an underlying issue that’s contributing to the low volume of his ejaculate,” says Dr. Williams.
Is Low Semen Volume Definitely a Problem?
Just as erectile function declines with age, ejaculation volume generally follows a similar course, says Dr. Williams. So if you’ve been noticing a gradual decrease in the amount that you’re spurting, say, over the last 5 or 10 years, it might just be a normal, age-related decline. And this can actually start in any decade of life. … – menshealth.com
