Most of the time, ejaculation happens during an orgasm (a sexual release that feels really good). But it's possible to have an orgasm without ejaculating. And it's also possible to ejaculate without having an orgasm. The liquid that comes out of your penis during ejaculation is called semen, ejaculate, or cum.

How long does it take to produce seminal fluid?

The full process takes about 64 days. During spermatogenesis, your testicles make several million sperm per day — about 1,500 per second.

Why does seminal fluid leak out?

Some semen may leak out during periods of sexual arousal. For example, semen leakage may occur during any type of sexual activity or while having sexual thoughts. Leakage may also occur just before or just after ejaculation. Another fluid, called pre-ejaculatory fluid, may also leak during sexual activity.
