How does penis get erection?
The functioning of penis is like the simple hydraulic mechanism of the pump. In the water pump, due to hydraulic pressure maintained in it the pump holds water for long time. Unless the pressure is released the water does not goes out. Similarly when a man gets sexually aroused, the brain sends signals to the nerves, which in turn increases the blood flow into the penis which is sustained in small sponge like bodies inside penis. This is the process of a man getting erection. The problem arises only when he is not able to sustain the erection for some time.
