What is the Average Velocity of Male Ejaculation?

When a man is ready to ejaculate, his body will go through a series of events.

You will see an increase in the size of the head of the penis and the head may also change to a purple color. Your Cowper’s glans will secrete “pre-cum” fluid that drips from your urethra. Your tests will move towards your body and increase in size. Additionally, you may experience body flushing, muscle tension, increased heart rate, and increased blood pressure.

Just before ejaculation, you will feel contractions in the vas deferens, seminal vesicles, and prostate, causing seminal fluid (ejaculate) to pool in a pool at the base of the penis. You will feel a ‘tingling’ type sensation. When you are ready to ejaculate, you will feel a “throb” around your urethra.

The ejaculation will leave your penis at about the same travel speed as a city bus, approximately 28 miles per hour. But it can reach speeds of 43 miles per hour depending on how long it’s been since it last came. (It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye!)

Once you have ejaculated, your scrotum and tests will return to their normal size. She will have a general feeling of relaxation and will experience a refractory period (where she is physically unable to have another erection). This period can be from a few minutes to much more depending on her age.

Sex tip: Unless you’re at the point of no return, you can prevent yourself from ejaculating by squeezing firmly (but very gently) on the tip of your penis.
