Review
The clinical studies were conducted over 8 months during 2002. 124 women, ranging from 17 to 48 years of age, were randomly selected for our study.
A lot of people think semen is produced entirely in the testicles, is stored there, and at ejaculation, gets "pumped" from the testicles out through the penis.This view is entirely too simple -different components of semen are produced in several parts of the male reproductive system, which work together before and during ejaculation.
Sperm cells, which are of course the most important component of semen reproduction-wise — are produced in the testicles (testes) in a process known as spermatogenesis. Partially mature sperm cells are
constantly moving into a structure called the epididymis, which secretes a fluid that helps the sperm cells to finish maturing. Once fully mature, sperm enter the vas deferens, a tube about 18 inches long that loops over the bladder. (The vas deferens is cut and tied off in the birth-control operation called a vasectomy.) Each vas deferens ends in an expanded segment called the ampulla; this is where sperm is stored before each ejaculation.
At the base of the bladder are structures called the seminal vesicles; these join with the ampulla of the vas deferens to form the "ejaculatory duct." The seminal vesicles secrete a thick liquid rich in sugar (specifically, fructose — commonly found in fresh fruit), which is an important nutrient for the sperm cells. In fact, the seminal vesicles are where most of the non-sperm portion of semen is made.
The prostate is a donut-shaped organ under the bladder; it surrounds the prostatic urethra and secretes an alkaline (
basic) fluid that accounts for up to a third of the non-sperm portion of semen.
Finally, the Cowper's glands, also known as bulbourethral glands, are small structures near the base of the penis; their function is to secrete mucus that lubricates and readies the urethra prior to ejaculation. Most guys know this secretion as "pre-cum." (The liquid is secreted upon sexual stimulation, not just during ejaculation. Upon prolonged sexual stimulation the amount of pre-cum can sometimes surpass the total amount of semen.) .

Semen and hormone: |
During sexual stimulation all these organs start working together. At the time of orgasm the semen cocktail is then forcefully ejected by contractions of the pelvic floor muscles and prostate gland.
Although women are excited by the view of large quantities of sperm, the real benefit is that by shooting more sperm your orgasm lasts longer. Nothing better than feeling the endless sensations of spurt after spurt of semen pumping through the core of your penis!
Now how to Increase the volume of semen ?
Causes for low Sperm Volume:
- Infected semen
- Heat – (Heat reduces sperm production. Hence the
- testicles are outside body in the scrotum to escape
- from body heat. Hence tight underpants, bathing in
- very hot water, sitting for long hours, over weight in which fat layers sag on testicles reduce sperm count)
- Very frequent semen ejaculation also lead to lowered sperm count and man may become effectively infertile. Hence maintaining a gap of 3 days between two consecutive ejaculations keeps a man more fertile.
- Smoking.
- Excessive alcohol intake.
- Over exertion physically and mentally
Varicocele.- Hydrocele
- Infections present in prostate gland.
- Malformed genital organs.
- Toxic pollutants
- Zinc deficiency
- Anabolic steroid use .
From established western urologists to Traditional Indian and Chinese Medicine physicians, aphrodisiac herbs have long been recommended to patients who want to achieve a higher sperm count, thicker semen, better quality sperm or larger ejaculation (cum) volume.
These herbs elevates testosterone levels to intensify virility, stimulates the hypothalamus and pituitary glands to release FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)& LH(Leutenizing Hormone) and boost sperm production, nourishes the reproductive system, makes erogenous zones more sensitive and promotes blood flow to the extremities to increase libido, enhances release of metabolic energy .
