Electroejaculation is a procedure used to obtain semen samples from sexually mature
male mammals. The procedure is applied for breeding programs and
research purposes in various species, as well as in the treatment of anejaculation and
ejaculatory dysfunction in human males.
Electroejaculation is usually carried out under a general anesthetic. An electric probe is
inserted into the rectum adjacent to the prostate. The probe
delivers a slight electric current that stimulates nearby nerves, resulting in contraction of the
pelvic muscles and ejaculation. This procedure is used frequently with large mammals, particularly bulls and some domestic
animals, as well as humans who have certain types of paralysis or erectile
dysfunction.
