Abstract

The three clinically encountered disturbances of the male orgasmic phase--that is, premature ejaculation, inability to ejaculate, and retrograde ejaculation--are discussed. The problem of defining premature ejaculation is explained and the possible pathogenic mechanisms of its origin are reviewed. The classic premature ejaculator is described. Also included are an elaboration of the newer therapeutic approaches to the problem and a suggested clinical protocol for screening patients. The other two, less common dysfunctions are briefly discussed.

Penetration and ejaculation; forensic aspects of rape.

A study was made of 104 alleged rape cases submitted to the DSIR in Auckland by the police over a period of approximately two years. Data were collected relating to the victims' perceptions of penetration and ejaculation, and the forensic evidence for these events. Seminal fluid was detected in 69 (66%) of the cases. In 81 (78%) of the cases penetration was reported; seminal fluid was detected in 58 of these. Of the five (5%) cases where it was reported that penetration did not occur, seminal fluid was detected in two. Forty (38%) of the victims reported ejaculation and seminal fluid was detected by 34 of these. Ejaculation was reported not to have occurred in 16 (15%) of the cases; seminal fluid was detected in seven of these. The victims of alleged sexual assault may not remember accurately if penetration or ejaculation took place.

The effect of semen quality of the electrical current and heat generated during rectal probe electroejaculation.

Rectal probe electroejaculation is effective in procuring sperm from spinal cord injured patients with ejaculatory incompetence. The seminal quality in these patients is usually suboptimal and the motility is almost always low. We conducted an in vitro experiment to determine whether the heat and current generated during rectal probe electroejaculation impaired sperm motility or forward progression, or if the poor semen quality is the result of existing testicular dysfunction.

An unusual case of retrograde ejaculation.

Despite normal seminal analyses obtained for assay by masturbation, persistent negative postcoital tests led to the testing of postejaculatory urine following normal intercourse. This disclosed an unusual problem of retrograde ejaculation occurring only during intercourse. The mechanism for this selective form of retrograde ejaculation is unknown.
