Question: When a male ejaculates during intercourse or masturbation, are
the both testicles used in this process, or only one, be it left or right?
Answer: Neither of the testicles are involved in ejaculation! A
structure called the epididymis, found above the testicles in the scrotum, is
the one you have to thank for letting the sperm out during ejaculation.
The
testicles are where sperm are produced in a process scientists call
spermatogenesis. However, they leave the testicles through a series of tiny
tubes called the rete testis before ejaculation occurs. The rete testis connect
to a structure called the epididymis. When sperm leaves the testicles it is
immature and immotile, meaning it cannot yet ‘swim’ to reach an egg. Sperm
remain in the epididymis for 18-24 hours before they develop the ability to
swim. It takes about two weeks before they become fully mature and are capable
of fertilising an egg, should the chance arise.
When a man
is sexually stimulated, the walls of the epididymis contract and this forces
the sperm out, through a series of tubes which connect to the urethra. The
urethra is the same duct which carries urine to the outside world.
