Plumbing and stuff, erection in the human penis
The erection coming up in a human penis is a wonderful and highly complicated experience both
- in a sense of plumbing mechanics and
- in the sense of switches worked by the nervous system.One of the first things one learns, growing up as a boy or a man, is that this most wonderful and poetic masculine tool, the penis (dong, dick, schlong, john) has very much a life of its own. It just does not directly obey the mind, just like a knee does, or an index finger (up, down, up, down etc.).
An erection may be welcome when a boy or a man feels horny by himself and so can choose to do something about it or not. An erection is actually presenting itself very visibly, to a human male of any age, saying: “Hey! I’m here. Attention! Do something about it now, man!”
An erection is highly welcome when is a man has a good time playing with himself or if he has an intimate companion. In those cases getting a good and prolonged erection is highly ego boosting, a masculine, positive, festive and life-reinforcing event in human experience. It unfolds in the fullness of being alive in human sexuality.
On the negative side, an erection may come up strong and hard and very, very visible during the most unwelcome moments – for instance when you are walking about in public in your bathing suit; or during sports or Physical Education and classmates are grinning at you in your uneasy predicament.
Alternatively the nether parts down below may choose not get hard and ready at all when a wonderful opportunity presents itself to the male in the form of a willing partner who is both hot and desirable and available and who wants it here and NOW!
How does the “plumbing” of a human erection work in a technical sense?
The penis is a sausage-like organ with internally two big elongated expandable spongy chambers, which are designed to swell up and enlarge:
Two are positioned side by side at the top, to the left and the right (they are called the corpus cavernosa) and are held together like two sausages in a twin packet by a strong fleece of connective tissue called tunica albuginea, packaged all the way around and also separating the two chambers.Finally there one much smaller softer sausage down below shaped like a soft rubber garden hose (corpus spongiosum) with right in the middle on the inside a much smaller tube for transport of urine and semen.
In an erect position the penis, as seen from the side, looks like a boomerang.
Medical textbook illustrations have had it VERY WRONG for many centuries. The final brave real life image of a man with an erection copulating inside a female was made by an MRI machine in Holland at the Department of Gynecology, University Hospital Groningen, in 1999.MRI copulation page
(typically Dutch fearlessness, in an open society)
In order for an erection to appear a number of plumbing mechanics and message events have to take place simultaneously:
1) The penis arteries have to be switched OPEN in order to pump enough blood to the three inner corpus sausages.
2) At the same moment the return vein channel must be slightly squeezed (thus CLOSED) so that the blood does not trickle back immediately into the body.
3) An amazing fact known only for some decades is that the muscle tissue inside the expandable spongy chambers in the three sausages must be in a TENSED state almost all day long - in order to hang limp and progressively to get RELAXED when ready to swell up.4) All of this squeezing, tensing and relaxing stuff is worked by an intricate system of nervous connection wires coming out of the backbone near the sacrum bone and the hipbone. Erection is activated by
a) The nervous system revving up, giving involuntary erections during the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep phase, which means that about 5 to 7 times a night the penis has an erection trial run.b) The nervous system revving up, yielding an involuntary erection at the moment of waking up – also a trial run.
c) Becoming (more or less voluntarily) sexually exited during waking hours by visual stimulation, touch, rubbing, stories, horny thoughts, daydreams, and fantasies.
The positive feedback of the nervous system triggering the mind functions and the body functions in a happy way) has to do with many events:
Feeling energetic, healthy, well fed, feeling self-confident, feeling interested.On the down side there may be lack of success because of tiredness, ill health, worries of anxiety, or negative pressure to perform. An upbringing without hang-ups is very welcome and helpful in that respect. So is a partner who is undemanding and easy going.

Uterus flexing
Did you know - another little known fact - that the uterus has a series of strong contractions a number of times each hour? This is flexing muscles so that they stay healthy and fit. I am told the woman does NOT feel this event happening. (Amazing! How can that be? Responses welcome!)

MASSAGE THERAPIY AGAINST DEPRESSION
Psychologists at Illinois University have researched effectiveness of massage therapy. A series of visits to the masseur may reduce depression, anxiety and pain. Even single visits may help alleviating anxiety and pain and may reduce hypertension and a high heart rate.
