In linguistics, an ejaculation is a short utterance that usually expresses a strong feeling, often in an incomplete sentence (a noun phrase, or sometimes an imperative). Ejaculations are usually just one or two words ("Ouch!", "Shoo!") and in grammar are contrasted with exclamations, which do partake in the "normal" grammatical structure of a language. "damn it", for instance, is a clausal exclamation, and "for Pete's sake" and "up yours" are called phrasal exclamations. ( Clausal exclamations contain subject and verb; phrasal exclamations are groups of words usually from different parts of speech.)
In Roman Catholic piety, an ejaculation, sometimes known as ejaculatory prayer or aspiration, is a very short prayer often attached as a form of pious devotion. Some common ejaculations include the Jesus Prayer, the Fatima Prayer of the Holy Rosary, Come Holy Spirit, and Eternal Rest.
In males, ejaculation is the ejection of semen from the reproductory tract.
Ejaculation may also refer to:
- Female ejaculation
- Ejaculation (grammar), including "religious ejaculations"
Ejaculation is the discharge of semen (normally containing sperm) from the male reproductory tract, usually accompanied by orgasm. It is the final stage and natural objective of male sexual stimulation, and an essential component of natural conception. In rare cases, ejaculation occurs because of prostatic disease. Ejaculation may also occur spontaneously during sleep (a nocturnal emission or "wet dream"). Anejaculation is the condition of being unable to ejaculate. Dysejaculation is an ejaculation that is painful or uncomfortable.
