cGMP, Erections, and Recovery: What Really Happens in Your Body
Most men have heard of medications like Viagra or Cialis, but very few know how they actually work — or where the key chemical messenger, cGMP, really comes from. Here’s the breakdown in plain English.
What is cGMP?
cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate) is your body’s “green light” for blood flow.
When you’re sexually stimulated:
- Nerves in the penis release nitric oxide (NO).
- Nitric oxide turns on an enzyme that makes cGMP.
- cGMP tells the smooth muscles in penile arteries to relax and open up.
- Blood flows in, the chambers fill, and an erection happens.
What Happens After Ejaculation
Once you orgasm, your body sends out “shut-down” signals:
- Adrenaline rises → smooth muscles tighten again.
- PDE5 enzymes break down cGMP quickly.
- Veins reopen → blood drains out.
- The erection fades.
This is followed by a refractory period, or “reset time,” before your body can produce enough nitric oxide and cGMP again for another erection. For younger men, it may be minutes. For older men, it can take hours.
