The period at which an organism becomes sexually mature is called puberty. In temperate climates puberty occurs in boys at around the age of fourteen. At this time the secondary sexual characteristics begin to appear and the organs of reproduction exhibit a marked growth. The seminal secretions are found to contain ripe spermatozoa for the first time. The quantity of these secretions increases until it reaches its maximum at full maturity.

Nature has a device for disposing of the accumulation of the seminal fluid previous to the time when one begins to have regular sex relations. Every two weeks or so, when one is asleep, the secretions which have accumulated in the reservoirs of the vasa deferentia, the seminal vesicles and the prostate gland, stimulate the nerves that control the blood vessels of the penis, causing them to stop the flow of blood from the penis, so that it becomes erect and rigid. At the same time the muscular fibers which cause the semen to be expelled through the urethra are stimulated and a discharge occurs. The condition of erection of the penis is then relaxed. Such discharges are called nocturnal emissions (popularly "wet dreams"). Dreams of a sexual nature often accompany nocturnal emissions. The causal reaction between the emission and the dreams is not clear. Certainly the dream alone would not be sufficient to produce a discharge. Possibly the congestion of the sexual organs causes the dream and the dream may then lend further aid to the process which the congested organs have set in motion. The pressure of a full bladder probably helps also to cause erection, as nocturnal emissions usually occur near the end of a night's sleep when one's bladder is full.

THE FOOD-PROSTATE CONNECTION: HAVE YOU CHEWED ON YOUR PLANT ESTROGENS TODAY?

Over the past 20 to 30 years, scientists have not only determined the content of many chemicals within plants, but have also evaluated the role of some of these chemicals in health and disease. One group of plant chemicals studied very closely includes the phytoestrogens, or plant estrogens. It has been proposed that the high intake of fat, meats, and sugar in Western diets, along with a lower intake of plant products, could well contribute to the higher rate of cancers in Western Europe and the USA .

The interaction of the thousands of plant chemicals daily consumed with the various tissue systems in the body is extremely complicated. However, it is known that these chemicals not only influence the metabolism of sex hormones, but also influence protein synthesis, cell growth, the health of blood vessels, and have some role to play with practically every organ, tissue, and cell.

Soy products have been very well studied as a source of phytoestrogens. The two best known phytoestrogens within soy are genistein and daidzein. Other plant estrogens include coumestrol, which is found in the highest concentration in mung bean sprouts. Flaxseed (linseed) oil is an abundant source of lignans such as secoisolariciresinol and matairesinol. The examples are indicative of the variety of plant chemicals available in food. Hence, it would be simplistic to recommend one particular plant or vegetable as a "miracle food." They all have important compounds within them that should be consumed. For practical purposes, it's not necessarily important to remember which plant has which type of chemical composition. Men are likely to be on safe ground if they ingest a wide variety of grains, beans, and legumes.

The plant estrogens, when consumed, undergo a number of metabolic conversions in the gut resulting in the formation of hormone-like compounds. These compounds are then absorbed into the bloodstream, enter the tissues, including the prostate gland, and have the ability to bind to estrogen receptors. They can also perform a number of other functions unrelated to their estrogenic effects. For instance, a chemical known as enterolactone (metabolized in the gut from compounds found in flaxseed oil) inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. This enzyme converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, a hormone partly responsible in stimulating the growth of the prostate gland. Genistein could possibly interfere with some of the growth factors that stimulate the proliferation of prostatic tissue.

The types of foods eaten have more of an influence on the biochemistry of the body than previously imagined.
