SecsThe quest for a big ejaculation often comes up in conversation, generally associated with virility or the intensity of pleasure. Yet beyond the myths, ejaculation volume is a fascinating biological indicator of your sexual health.
Together we will decode the physiological mechanisms and concrete, science-based methods to optimise your potential. From anatomy to lifestyle adjustments, discover how to take back control of your body for a more intense experience.

Normal ejaculation volume is between 1.5 and 5 millilitres according to the WHO, and can naturally vary by 20 to 30% from one day to the next.
Hydration (2 to 3 litres of water per day) and a zinc-rich diet are the two most effective levers for increasing volume.
Spacing your ejaculations 2 to 3 days apart allows the seminal vesicles to recharge for maximum volume.
The edging technique and pelvic floor strengthening through Kegel exercises improve the power of ejaculation.

Before trying to increase the quantity, you need to understand how your body produces this fluid. Ejaculation is the result of a complex symphony between organs and hormones. At ONY, we demystify taboos to offer a modern, uninhibited and educational approach to erotic wellbeing, far removed from the clichés of toxic performance.
To define a "big ejaculation", let's first establish the physiological norm. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the average ejaculate volume for a healthy sample falls between 1.5 and 5 millilitres, roughly a teaspoon.
Perception remains subjective, however. An ejaculation considered abundant generally exceeds this threshold. This volume is not constant: it fluctuates with age, frequency of intercourse and arousal. A variation of 20 to 30% from one day to the next is perfectly normal and should not cause you concern.

When volume significantly exceeds the average, around 5.5 or 6 millilitres, this is referred to as hyperspermia.
Hyperspermia is generally painless but can be associated with a lower sperm concentration due to a dilution effect, paradoxically affecting fertility. It often results from prolonged abstinence or heightened activity of the seminal vesicles.
The testicles produce only a tiny fraction of the total volume. Ejaculation is a complex biological cocktail — here is how it breaks down:
Organ |
Contribution to volume |
Primary function |
Seminal vesicles |
65% to 70% |
Produce a fluid rich in fructose (energy) and prostaglandins. |
Prostate |
20% to 25% |
Secretes an alkaline fluid containing zinc and enzymes (PSA). |
Testicles |
2% to 5% |
Produce sperm cells. |
Cowper's glands |
< 1% |
Produce the lubricating pre-seminal fluid. |
Targeting the health of the prostate and seminal vesicles is therefore the key to achieving a big ejaculation.
Several biological and environmental factors influence your production:
Age: Volume peaks between the ages of 30 and 35, then gradually declines.
Ejaculation frequency: Ejaculating too frequently depletes your reserves.
Hydration: Since semen is composed of more than 90% water, dehydration immediately reduces volume.
Genetics: The size of your organs plays a predetermined role in your storage capacity.
While genetics sets limits, you have real room to manoeuvre to optimise your production.
⚠️ Please note, this is not something to take lightly. Always seek medical advice before making radical changes to your diet or taking supplements, especially if you have a medical history.
Your body needs specific "building blocks". To encourage a big ejaculation, incorporate zinc-rich foods into your diet. Zinc, a key mineral for fertility, plays an essential role in prostate health and testosterone production, and can be found in oysters, pumpkin seeds, red meat and lentils.
Also consider the proteins L-Arginine and L-Carnitine, which support circulation and may influence seminal volume; they are found in nuts, poultry, dairy products and fish. As for Lecithin, a major component of cell membranes, it is frequently cited for increasing volume and is found in eggs, soya and sunflower seeds.
A diet rich in antioxidants also helps protect sperm quality.
It's the simplest technique. Since seminal plasma is mostly water, dehydration forces the body to conserve water, reducing secretions such as semen.
To notice a difference:
Aim for 2 to 3 litres of water per day. Be careful not to overdo it.
Avoid excessive diuretics such as coffee or alcohol.
The "recharging" of the seminal vesicles takes time. Ejaculating several times a day depletes your reserves. An abstinence period of 2 to 3 days, or even longer, allows you to maximise volume without compromising sperm quality.
The principle? Masturbate less, but masturbate better.
Tip: ONY masturbators such as Exa One allow you to manage this intelligently. By transforming masturbation into a complete sensory experience, you learn to space out your sessions for far more explosive moments.
Your sexual health reflects your overall health. Several factors impact production:
Sleep: Sleeping fewer than 6 hours can cause testosterone to drop by 15%.
Tobacco and alcohol: Tobacco reduces blood circulation; alcohol disrupts hormonal balance.
Weight management: A high BMI is correlated with a drop in volume, as fatty tissue converts testosterone into oestrogen.
Spermatogenesis requires a temperature 1 to 2°C lower than body temperature, i.e. 34–35°C. If your testicles are overheating, production slows down.
Avoid underwear that is too tight.
Limit very hot baths and saunas.
Sleeping naked helps naturally regulate scrotal temperature.
A visually impressive ejaculation depends on the strength of the pelvic floor muscles. Strengthening them allows you to expel fluid with greater force.
The exercise: Contract the muscles used to stop the flow of urine. Hold for 5 seconds, release for 5 seconds. Repeat 10 to 15 times a day.
The ONY penis ring Pulse One effectively complements these strengthening exercises. By maintaining gentle pressure and stimulating the area through vibration, it helps intensify blood flow and makes muscle work more targeted for a more powerful ejaculation.
The level of arousal is directly correlated with ejaculation volume. The longer the "plateau" phase, the more fluid accumulates in the urethra before expulsion.
The "Edging" technique involves bringing yourself to the point of no return, stopping, then starting again. Repeating this cycle 2 or 3 times allows a greater amount to build up, turning ejaculation into a truly powerful release.
While the pursuit of a big ejaculation is often a fun goal, a sudden change in volume can mask an underlying condition. Knowing how to distinguish normal fluctuation from a medical issue is essential.
Consult a specialist if you notice:
Sudden hypospermia: Near-absent volume (< 0.5 ml) with no apparent cause.
Retrograde ejaculation: A dry orgasm where semen flows back into the bladder, often caused by medication or diabetes.
Pain: A potential sign of infection or prostatitis.
Blood in semen (haematospermia): Requires investigation to rule out any infection.
A doctor can carry out a semen analysis to assess volume and fertility. Low production may be linked to a treatable hormonal imbalance.
If your goal is fertility, medical advice is essential. A high volume does not necessarily mean a high sperm count. A specialist will guide you towards solutions tailored to your situation.
Achieving a big ejaculation is an attainable goal through a better understanding of anatomy, optimal hydration, a zinc-rich diet and mastered arousal management.
Quantity isn't everything, though. The quality of pleasure and the intensity of orgasm matter far more. At ONY, we design our products to elevate this sensory experience, inviting you to discover your body with kindness. Take care of yourself, stay hydrated, and enjoy every sensation 💦

Yes, it is beneficial for the prostate. A Harvard study suggested that men who ejaculate at least 21 times a month reduce their risk of prostate cancer by around 30% by preventing fluid stagnation.
False. Volume is merely the carrier. You can have a big ejaculation with few sperm cells, or a small but highly concentrated volume. Only a semen analysis can determine your actual fertility.
They can help, but won't work miracles without a healthy lifestyle. Zinc, Magnesium, L-Arginine and Lecithin have shown promising results. Allow several weeks of regular use before noticing any significant effect.
Volume peaks around the age of thirty. A natural decline often begins after 35–40, becoming more pronounced after 50 due to falling testosterone levels.
