Contrary to belief babies really don't come from storks. I think we all pretty much know where babies come from. But do we really? To put it in perspective you need a sperm cell and an egg to make a baby.

During sexual intercourse, a mans sperm, which is produced by the testicles travels to the woman's cervix, it then travels to the fallopian tubes. There are millions of sperm cells swimming to the fallopian tubes but it only takes one to penetrate an egg which is called fertilization. At this point a single life begins.

The question now is where does the sperm come from? Millions of sperm are produced daily by the testicles. Sperm cells undergo natural cell division which leads to its maturation. Half of the sperm cells carry the Y and X chromosome. Y comes from your dad and X comes from your mom. If a Y fertilizes an egg there will be a baby girl and X would be a baby boy.

During ejaculation, sperm goes into the mans vas deferens where fructose, seminal fluids, and other chemicals are secreted. Your sperm and other seminal fluids rush past the bladder through the urethra and out the penis.

Three things are needed for the sperm to enter the woman's cervix. You need to have an erection, orgasm and ejaculation. Erections take place when the penis is stimulated or when erotic thoughts come into your mind. There is a sudden rush of blood to the erectile tissue chambers in the penis. With all this the penis engorges, making the penis hard, enlarged and elevated.

You need continued stimulation to achieve orgasm and ejaculation. Orgasm is the sexual climax. It is a pleasurable emotional or psychological response that accompanies ejaculation. In a man there are two stages to an orgasm. The first one is ejaculatory inevitability. This take place just second before you ejaculate. You know that you are about to ejaculate and at this point there is no turning back. Your seminal vesicles and your prostate gland begin to throb. The second stage of orgasm is when you involuntarily ejaculate semen in convulsive surges. On average a teaspoon of sperm contains any where between 40 to 150 million sperm.

Now that you have achieved orgasm as a man you have to go through a recovery period. Through out this recovery period you cannot experience another orgasm. This recovery period varies for different men. It can range anywhere from minutes to hours.
