This week’s video takes you on a tour of male sexual anatomy and function. Understanding your body is one of the best sexual resources you can have, and it can help enhance both pleasure and confidence.

Here’s what you'll geek out on:

Pelvic anatomy from the bones and ligaments to nerves and muscles that support sexual function

Penis anatomy basics

The role of pubic hair in sensation

Pelvic floor muscles and how they help with erections, ejaculation, and continence

Key nerves and blood vessels for sexual function and pleasure (like the pudendal nerve and dorsal nerve of the penis)

Testes, epididymis, vas deferens, and seminal vesicles

How erections and ejaculation actually work (parasympathetic vs sympathetic nervous system)

Why stress, anxiety, or pain can make it harder to get or keep an erection

Was there something new or surprising you learned about your own body from this video? Drop your ah-ha moments below.

I won't have time to view the video for a couple of hours, but in reply to your remarks I need to add that being castrate also makes it harder to remain erect. Makes for a team project with partner.

Damn that's a lot of connections, sure would be nice if a surgeon would let you know the possible disruption they could cause operating below the belt. instead of, it's a routine surgery, you'll be in and out and home in no time.

Surgery is one option in treating prostate cancer when it's still in the gland. Doctors are either parochial or greedy and the urologists who usually make the diagnosis are surgeons and notorious for pushing men into opting for surgery. The problem is that surgery is art and does not give consistent outcomes. There are two bundles of nerves and vessels on the outside of the prostate that control erection. When the prostate is removed the doctor will attempt a "nerve sparing" operation to avoid permanent ED. The nerves usually go into shock anyway so the patient has ED and then needs to work at recovery. Sometimes the surgeon is able to spare the nerves, other times not. When the prostate is removed, the section of urethra that goes through the prostate is removed and the sphincter at the bladder is removed so most men experience incontinence that may be corrected by strengthening the penile sphincter. Or may not. My urologist laughed it off as false, but many men end up with a shorter penis because the piece of urethra has been removed. I'm of the opinion that this is not explained well so that most surgery is not done with fully informed consent. I opted for radiation which has same success rate as surgery with statistically fewer lifelong injuries. After the upcoming cystoscopy I'll learn whether I've dodged another bullet.

So when I continue to have an erection after climax I guess my parasympathetic nerves are not doing their thing? I'm aware of the compression of the vessels inside the penis during engorgement and have wondered whether going through several climaxes super engorges the penis. In the past my erection after 3 climaxes was pretty vertical and lasted long after we'd gotten up and arounds. I have a photo of this that J took after we'd had sex at her apartment. No worries, no one other than J and I get to see that photo.

I agree, Rex. Some surgeons do walk patients through all the pros and cons, but with a cancer diagnosis it’s often so overwhelming that really processing that information in the moment can feel out of reach.

I think it’s more than just the parasympathetic nervous system at play. The brain, neurochemicals, hormones, and both conscious and unconscious contextual factors are also involved.
