Suggest Treatment For Erectile Dysfunction
Hello, I am 52 years of age and am having difficulty achieving an erection, so I guess you could say I have "ED". I have been prescribed Viagra, but being that it is so expensive I cannot always afford it, so I have to try my best at times without it. I can often ejaculate, producing sperm, however it is without an erection, which makes intercourse difficult, if not impossible. My question is, how can one ejaculate without an erection, and why?

Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on the facts that yu have posted you are facing problem of Erectile Dysfunction (ED) however you ejaculate while getting engaged in sexual activities .
Erection and Ejaculation are two different processes .
Erection is the process where erectile tissue in penis is filled with arterial blood 12 times more than normal this blood gets trapped by occlusion of veins in penis resulting in to penis becoming hard enough to penetrate vagina to perform the intercourse .This erection is prime requisite to have penetrative intra vaginal sex .
Where as Ejaculation is process where semen collected and already stored in Seminal Vesicles and Ampula of water is ejaculated in to urethra and expelled out of penis by penile stimulation and rhythmic contraction of Bulbo Spongiosus and Pubococcygeous muscles .Hence it is not necessary for one to have erection .One can ejaculate by penile stimulation without getting erection
