This process results in the release of sperm and semen, which promotes reproduction and sexual enjoyment.&nbsp;<br><br>Ejaculation is categorized into two stages: emission and expulsion.<br><br><strong>Emission phase<\/strong>: In the first phase, sperm travels from your <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/body\/23964-testicles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">testicles<\/a> to your prostate, where it combines with fluid to form semen. Further, your vas deferens contract, forcing the sperm toward the base of your penis.<br><br><strong>Expulsion phase<\/strong>: The muscles at the base of your penis contract every 0.8 seconds during the second phase, forcing or discharging the semen out of your penis in several spurts.<br><br>Retrograde ejaculation may result if semen enters the bladder.&nbsp;<br><br>Prostatic discharge occurs when the bladder neck is closed.
