The Sperm Cell: An Overview Everybody seems to know where babies come from. You need a fertile woman (her egg che testicles. During sexual activity, a sperm get released into a cell) and a fertile man (his sperm cell). A man’s sperm is produced by woman‘s vagina, then through it a sperm goes to the uterus, from where through the fallopian tube it arrives to the egg. Only one from millions of sperm cells penetrates inside the egg and fertilizes it. After fertilization begins a life of your future child.
Your testes (testicles) produce millions of sperm every day. The natural cell division unavoidably leads to the maturation of your sperm cells. Half of the sperms are marked with Y chromosome which is inherited from your dad. Half of the sperms has an X chromosome and it is inheritance from your mother. If that X-carrying sperm will fertilize the woman’s egg cell, you will get a son. If a successful sperm will be Y-carrying, so you will become a father of a baby girl.
When you ejaculate, under the pressure sperm is pumped into the vas deferens - the place of secretion for seminal fluids, fructose and some other chemicals. With them in a mass called semen your sperm runs through the urethra out of your penis.
 Only if you experience erection, orgasm and ejaculation your sperm can enter the cervix of a woman. To be erected a penis needs stimulation, erotic image or just erotic thought. After some stimulation in a sudden rush blood comes in the penis to the erectile tissue chambers. Hot blood flash provokes penis to harden, get enlarged and afterwards elevated.
If you keep being stimulated orgasm and ejaculation will come. Orgasm is the sexual peak, when ejaculation is followed by highest degree pleasure. The two stages of male orgasm are the ejaculatory inevitability and the ejaculation itself. First part takes place two-four hours before you ejaculate. You feel that you will “come” soon and cannot help stopping it. Throbbing of your seminal vesicles and prostrate gland leads to the second stage of orgasm when in convulsive surges involuntary you ejaculate the semen. Each ejaculation on average is one teaspoon (2-15 milliliters) of semen. Just imagine that it contains 40-150 million sperm! The most of it you ejaculate in the first “squirt”.
Then you are in a recovery period. It means that you cannot experience another orgasm for several minutes or even hours after ejaculation. |
