WHEN YOU HAVE AN ERECTION
When you have an erection, one of two things will happen. First, the erection may go away all by itself. It may take a few seconds, a few minutes or even a half-hour or so before your penis is completely soft again. But after a while the muscles at the base of your penis will relax, allowing the extra blood that was trapped in the penis to flow back out so that the penis becomes soft and floppy again.
The second thing that can happen is that you will ejaculate and/or have an orgasm, after which the muscles at the base of the penis will relax and the penis will become soft again. As we explained, one thing that can cause a male to have an orgasm and to ejaculate is sexual intercourse. During sexual intercourse the man puts his erect (or at least semi-erect) penis into the woman’s vagina. The vagina is a hollow organ. Normally, the vagina is like a collapsed balloon with no air in it; but it is very expandable, so the penis can fit in there. The vagina fits snugly and tightly round the penis. During intercourse a man moves his penis around in the vagina, which stimulates the nerves in the penis. When the penis is sufficiently stimulated, the man usually ejaculates. It’s possible to ejaculate without having an orgasm. It’s also possible to have an orgasm without ejaculating. But usually when a man is having sexual intercourse, he both ejaculates and has an orgasm. Soon afterwards, his penis becomes soft again.
