People are accustomed to evaluating their lives with various numbers. Recently, according to medical experts, men's lifelong sexual health also has a set of "numerical indicators."
Each ejaculation contains 1-2 teaspoons (5 milliliters) of semen, which is roughly equivalent to a mouthful of phlegm. Each teaspoon of semen contains 7 calories, while a can of 250 ml cola contains 150 calories. Dr. Heitrona, an American urologist, provided a simple self-measurement method: measure out 5 milliliters of water and pour it into a clean condom, remembering the level of the water, which allows you to estimate your own ejaculation volume. If it reaches 5 milliliters, it indicates that your prostate is very healthy.
On average, a man will experience about 7200 erections in his lifetime. Among these, masturbation accounts for an average of 2000 erections. The average speed of male sexual arousal is 45 kilometers per hour, which is faster than the average cycling speed of 40.2 kilometers per hour. Generally, a man experiences an average of 11 erections per day, with 9 occurring during the night. Moreover, the interval between two erections varies from 2 minutes to 2 weeks, influenced by factors such as age and physical condition.
When not erect, the average length of a man's penis is 8.9 centimeters, and when erect, it averages 13 centimeters. When bathing, almost all men's penises shrink somewhat. There are records indicating that the shortest penis in human history was only 1.6 centimeters, while the longest was 28 centimeters. However, both excessively long or short penises indicate developmental abnormalities and should be addressed promptly by seeking medical attention.
A survey shows that 60% of American men admit to frequently masturbating, with 54% doing so once a day. Meanwhile, 41% of men feel guilty afterward. Sexologists point out that masturbation is a normal sexual experience for men, and people should not blame themselves for it.
Sperm takes an average of 2.5 seconds to reach the egg, which is much faster compared to the 4 hours it takes an average person to complete a marathon. Additionally, sperm has a relatively "long" lifespan, lasting up to 2.5 months.
The time and season when men's libido is strongest are in the morning and autumn, respectively. Multiple studies have found that the best ways to improve male sexual ability are quitting smoking, exercising, and losing weight. Eating more whole grain foods can effectively enhance sexual ability.
Criticism regarding condoms does have some merit. The thickness of regular condoms is 0.07 millimeters, which is 0.02 millimeters thicker than ultra-thin condoms. Many men have expressed that if condoms could be made as thin as cling film (thickness of 0.0127 millimeters), the sexual experience would certainly be better.
