When a man is sexually stimulated, the penis will erect, which is a normal physiological phenomenon, but who knows why it will erect? Generally speaking, an erection of the penis is congested, but simple congestion is not enough to explain why an erection occurs. From the most scientific perspective, an erection is a neural reflex.
Penile erection is a magical neural reflex
Penile erection is a reflex, caused by mild stimulation and conditioned reflex stimulation from the nerve endings of many sensory organs. The neural components involved in the control of erectile function include various structures from the upper cerebral cortex to the neuromuscular terminals of the penile vascular wall.
Such as the cerebral cortex, sexual function center, diencephalon, hypothalamus, cortical center, lumbosacral spinal cord, and erectile ejaculation center, but the thoracolumbosacral center also has a synergistic effect, closely related to the center, and the spinal cord center is related to the motor nerve and reproductive organs.
Penile erection is like five senses
Human sexual activity consists of a complex series of conditioned and unconditioned reflexes, controlled and controlled by advanced parts of the central nervous system, which can improve or suppress sexual arousal. Sexual desire and erection are also generated by the brain in conjunction with many external stimuli, especially the conditioned reflex. Acquired conditioned reflex connections can stimulate the cerebral cortex and advanced sensory organs, such as various thinking associations, memory, vision, smell, hearing, and other senses, causing cortical arousal.
Sexual Concepts that Affect Penile Erections
At the same time, the cerebral cortex is also involved in human mental and emotional activities. Therefore, various mental and psychological factors in humans can interfere with the normal reflex process of the brain activity center. For example, some foreigners have grown up under strict religious backgrounds and have accepted the concepts of sex as a source of evil and sexual filth since childhood.
After adulthood, this concept still firmly exists in their consciousness, leading to reactions of malignant stimulation or inhibition of sexual activity, reducing the excitability of sexual function centers, leading to decreased libido, and even some people's sexual function may experience problems of one kind or another.
