Ūplangung

Heafodgewrit: Ūplangung

Ūplangung bið þæs stīfianung and rīsanung þæs pinteles, þe gelimpð āmang gemānalic āwreccanung, þēah hit cann ēac limpan in ungemānalic forcumungs. The primary physiological mechanism that brings about erection is the autonomic dilation of arteries supplying blood to the penis, which allows more blood to fill the three spongy erectile tissue chambers in the penis, causing it to lengthen and stiffen. The now-engorged erectile tissue presses against and constricts the veins that carry blood away from the penis. More blood enters than leaves the penis until an equilibrium is reached where an equal volume of blood flows into the dilated arteries and out of the constricted veins; a constant erectile size is achieved at this equilibrium.

Erection facilitates sexual intercourse though it is not essential for various other sexual activities.

The following table shows how common various erection angles are for a standing male, out of a sample of 1,564 males aged 20 through 69. In the table, zero degrees is pointing straight up against the abdomen, 90 degrees is horizontal and pointing straight forward, while 180 degrees would be pointing straight down to the feet. An upward pointing angle is most common.

Āndhladanung

Āndhladanung bið sēo ūtweorpung sǣdes fram þǣm pintele, and bið oft gefērscipod mid orgasm. Līne seonulīrlices contractions bǣrð sǣd, nimende werlic gemānacellas cnāwen swā sǣdcellas oþþe spermatozoa, fram þǣm pintele. Hit oft bið folgung gemānalices āwreccung, þe mæg geinnian prostate āwreccung. Rarely, it is due to prostatic disease. Āndhladanung mæg limpan hisselflic āmang slǣpe (cnāwen swā nihtlic flowing oþþe wǣt swefn). Anejaculation is the condition of being unable to ejaculate.

Ejaculation has two phases: emission and ejaculation proper. The emission phase of the ejaculatory reflex is under control of the sympathetic nervous system, while the ejaculatory phase is under control of a spinal reflex at the level of the spinal nerves S2–4 via the pudendal nerve. A refractory period succeeds the ejaculation, and sexual stimulation precedes it.
