>>but no one makes a big deal about getting prostate checks.<<

Yeah, that's right! Over here it kills three times more men than women die of breast cancer. Yet how much do you hear about it?

Outdoorsman,

As others here have said, the quantity of ejaculate is related to the prostate size and health. However, it sounds like what you're talking about is the strength of the contraction that propels the ejaculate. This is a function of muscle strength. There are some exercises that you can do (similiar to kegel exercises for a woman) that can improve this.

That is neither here nor there though, what is more important is the health of your body whether you trickle or blast. Often times a change in sexual performance (of any kind) can be a "canary in a coalmine" for your health. Are you carrying a lot of extra weight? Have you had your BP checked? Most people don't think about it, but changes in your arteries and health really affect sexual function, from erections to ejaculation. If you haven't had a check up lately, it's probably not a bad idea. If the Doc says everything is working great, then don't worry about the ejaculate.

Peace,
Scott.

Well, that's great but unless you do both them the right way, then that doesn't count!

My doctor friend tells me when a man comes in and complans about erection problems, he does all the normal tests (blood work, pressure etc) and also asks them to go to one of these new heart scan places...He says there is a direct relationship between the lack of blood flow to the penis and restricted blood flow thru the heart...What is blocking one is also , many times, blocknig the other.

Very true. Erectile dysfunction CAN be a warning sign that something more serious is happening elsewhere.

Scott, a narrowed urethra, due to an enlarged prostate, would ALSO affect the power of an ejaculation, as well as possibly the quantity. You simply can't shoot as much or as powerfully through a very narrow "straw."

dh is almost 53, he ejaculates fine but the force and the amount of ejaculate has deminished also has to do with how long it has been since he ejaculated last and how long was the foreplay. however, his concern now is totally diff. than yours, he feels he is not as hard as he used to get. semi erect?
