Ejakularche

The term Ejakularche (of lat. Eiaculari , "Eject, eject, throw out" and give a wiki. Ἀρχή Ark "beginning, origin") is the medical term for the first time ejaculation ( ejaculation ) at an adolescent male child or youth. Since the term ejaculation today mainly as ejaculation defined is and ejaculate a now sperm said liquid with sperm and secretions is meant a Ejakularche can according to this definition until after the onset of sperm production ( spermarche ) either in a triggered by sexual activity orgasm or occur with a first-time pollution (Polluarche / Pollarche). According to this definition, the ejakularche - like primarily the spermarche and, in a broader sense, the polluarche - indicates the beginning of sexual maturity .

Concept variations

With doctors and sexologists today, ejaculation is often understood as an ejaculation, but occasionally also as a "wet orgasm", that is, a discharge of secretions without the presence of sperm.

"Effusion (with or without semen)"

If, for example, EJ Haeberle formulates the following statement: "At this point in time the first ejaculation can take place. The ejaculate may not yet contain any sperm cells, but consists mainly of prostate secretion.", He also uses the term ejaculate in the second sentence for one Fluid that does not have sperm in it. The use of the term ejaculation in the previous sentence contradicts this and promotes confusion, because how can an effusion be described as ejaculation if it does not yet contain any semen or sperm?

According to this definition with the German meaning “ effusion ”, in contrast to dry orgasm, ejaculation stands for a wet orgasm in general and is also possible if sperm production has not yet started and only a more or less small amount of secretion without an orgasm sperm to the penis opening appears . However, this variant of the definition does not come very close to the original Latin word meaning, since with such an effusion, at least at the time of the transition from a dry to a wet orgasm, there is usually no question of expelling or even hurling out .

In this definition framework, sexology also distinguishes between the “ idle stage ” (ejaculation without sperm = semenless effusion) and “ functional stage ” (ejaculation with sperm = ejaculation). Some scientists call the beginning of the idle stage the prostate tartar , because it was originally assumed that the first effusions could consist solely of secretions from the prostate and not also from those of other accessory sex glands .

"Ejaculation"

On the other hand, Haeberle wrote a little later in the same book: ... The simplest example is the orgasm of a boy before puberty: Their internal organs are not yet sufficiently developed to produce semen, so they cannot ejaculate either; however, boys can orgasm.

It is now evident upon ejaculation solely a ejaculation understood and in the use of the term ejaculate assuming the presence of sperm. This definition variant is often represented and used in this way in the literature.

Physiological basics

Although the male genital organs are already fully developed at the time of birth, further differentiation only takes place during puberty under the influence of sex hormones . As the testosterone level in the blood rises by two to three times before and at the onset of puberty, the growth of the penis , scrotum , testes , epididymis , spermatic ducts , seminal vesicle , prostate , preputial and bulbourethral glands is stimulated and attained during puberty later the testicles also have their full functionality including the ability to produce fertile sperm . After the start of sperm formation ( Spermarche ), in an orgasm that is arbitrarily triggered by sexual activity, there is no longer only a more or less small release of secretions , as was previously the case with a so-called wet orgasm , but a seminal discharge ( ejaculation ). In the case of sexually less active or completely abstinent adolescents, however, sooner or later after the sperm ark, pollution will take place.

time

With "seedless effusion"

Based on this definition, the ejakularche can occur well before the start of sperm production (spermarche) when an orgasm is achieved through sexual activity (usually masturbation ). If a small amount of secretion emerges at the penis opening for the first time in an orgasm of this type, which is triggered regularly at shorter intervals, a previously possible dry orgasm may have been replaced by an ejaculation (wet orgasm).

However, if a conscious orgasm is never triggered by an adolescent in the period before and during puberty, then according to the previous view of the cause of pollution, an ejakularche will only take place after the sperm ark in the form of a first-time pollution (polluarche).

For "ejaculation"

Here, an ejakularche can always appear more or less close in time after the start of sperm production. According to this definition, this event also indicates the onset of sexual maturity , and so the term ejakularche can be understood here as a “male equivalent” to menarche , which indicates that a girl has reached sexual maturity, although first menstruation and first education and Ejaculation of sperm represent completely different phenomena in the physiological sense.
