How do I increase the amount of my ejaculate? I've noticed porn stars seem to ejaculate copious amounts of fluid and I'd like to be able to wow my partner.
As for the quantity of ejaculate, the two biggest contributors are genetics (which you have no control over) and time since last ejaculation (which you do have control over). Most men find that the longer they have gone since the last time they had sex, the more forceful and copious their ejaculations are.
Orgasm occurs due to a spinal cord reflex that causes strong rhythmic contractions in several parts of the urogenital system. Ejaculation is governed most strongly by contractions of the urethra, prostate, and the muscles at the base of the penis. There is little you can do to strengthen the urethra and prostate, other than have frequent orgasms. However, the muscles at the base of the penis (the PC muscles) can be strengthened through Kegel exercises. At the simplest, you contract and relax the muscles throughout the day. You can locate these muscles by stopping your urine mid-stream. These are the muscles you want to strengthen. Try different patterns, such as contracting and holding for ten seconds or "fluttering" (contracting and relaxing as rapidly as possible). After a few months, you should notice stronger, more powerful orgasms and ejaculations. While this won't actually increase the volume, per se, it will make it appear like you are ejaculating more.
But, remember, the actors in porn films are professionals. Even they often don't ejaculate that much -- sometimes movie-makers will supplement with synthetic semen shot from a small tube. So, don't hold yourself to too high a standard. The main purpose of these exercises is to make orgasms more enjoyable, not to allow you to paint the wall!
