Hmmm. How about insisting that his _idea_ is full of shit, rather than the originator of it?

Thanks.

I’m curious.  
But I can’t comment unless I have a peek at it for myself! Can somebody email it to me?

I learned this during a urology elective. It’s true that it is impossible to produce the above quoted volume of semen. However, and most folks don’t appreciate this, the penis has an enormous capacity for taking up semen (or any viscous fluid) as long as the stream is properly directed.

So the way the video is shot, there is a small pumping system in the cup. This fires sucessive streams of pseudo-jiz at the guys urethral opening. The jiz is taken up by the penis (all of it assuming the stream is accurately directed). Then all you need to do to produce the effect of ejaculation is to run the film backwards.

This “induced retrograde ejaculation” actually works and in fact, is the method of choice to deliver local chemotherapuetics for urethral carcinoma

Huh? Cup? What are you talking about? If you’re saying there was a cup in the film, nope, there wasnt. He was sitting on a floor, with his legs spread open. It’s not directed anywhere, the semen was going all over the place (his stomach, onto his hand, up and onto the floor…)

Awww… dude, couldn’t you just let my answer hang out for a little bit. No disrespect for your thread, I couldn’t resist the chance to post an off the wall explanation.  
PS can you email the vid?

FWIW, high ejaculate volumes have been identified in some patients seen by infertility doctors. Here’s a referance:

Andrologia 1990 Nov-Dec;22(6):497-501 High ejaculate volume: a distinct entity?  
Duyck F, Steeno O

Here’s an exerpt:

> [@](#):
>
> **In this study clinical, andrological and endocrinological data of a group of 101 patients with ejaculate volume of at least 8.0 ml are  
> compared with data of 100 consecutive patients attending our infertility clinic. Within both groups correlations between different parameters are observed. Between both groups a significant difference in total sperm output is noted suggesting a ‘dilution oligozoospermia’ in the high ejaculate volume group. We suggest that, in order to avoid a falsely unfavourable fertility prognosis for  
> those patients, total sperm output should be considered rather than sperm density. From the point of view of nomenclature, the term ‘relative oligozoospermia’ seems justified in cases with very high ejaculate volumes.**

**KneadToKnow** , **manhattan** , **everybody** ,

I’m sorry. Of course, **KneadToKnow** , by “shit” I meant “blood, internal organs, and love”.

Again, sorry.

p.s.- **handy** , that explanation is also full of blood, internal organs, and love.

I don’t know if I’d give porn directors (or actors) the credit assuming they are smart enough to pull off any special effects too complicated. But I have seen the guy with two schlongs and was fooled so you never know. But I saw this video and was shocked. It appears to be the real deal. It looks as if he’s doing some severe stomach compression, seemingly forcing the stuff out at will. I found that odd. As well as the hugeness of the sackage. But if this guy is so talented, despite being hung like a field mouse, he should be a huge porn star, don’t you think? And if this, um, talent was appreciated by the ladies, why would he be sitting alone on a kitchen floor? Despite all, I have to say this is the coolest thing I’ve seen all millenium.

Um, I’m going to have to see a cite for this. I suspect that my leg is being pulled. A penis is designed to squirt stuff out, not suck it up like an elephant’s trunk.

Here’s a website for urethral carcinoma. I don’t see any mention of squirting chemotherapy up the patient’s penis. I believe the chemo that’s mentioned, fluorouracil-mitomycin, is delivered intravenously. Interstitial radiation therapy, also called "seed implantation, means putting the little pellets in, like for prostate cancer.  
[http://www.intouchlive.com/journals/oncology/o9911b.htm](http://www.intouchlive.com/journals/oncology/o9911b.htm)

> Patients who are not candidates for partial penectomy because of the location or size of disease are treated with radical penectomy, with or without en bloc resection of the scrotum and anterior pubis and cystoprostatectomy.

So they can cut it off or they can treat it with IV drugs and radiation, but I don’t see anything about “induced retrograde ejaculation”. Cite, please.

Well now I must see it also— [medtech@usunwired.net](mailto:medtech@usunwired.net)

Someone else mentioned Peter Norths 8 orgasmic contractive spurts. Is this normal? Do most guys just do 1-2 spurts?

Also, it dosent seem that unusual that some people could produce a large volume ejaculate.

After reading this thread I can’t help but think of the Daily Show clip where the female reporter went to a hog semen farm in Iowa. They had a plastic bag full!

That’s the strangest thing I’ve seen in a long time. I don’t know what’s more bizarre. The gallon of semen or the basketball for a nutsack. If that’s faked, I can’t tell.
