Description
In this art piece the function of the prostate is shown as a mysterious organ acting as a melting pot of the love potions. It depicts the “pot” receiving contributions from 3 sources – sperm from the testes that is breathed into the pot by the alchemist, fluid from the seminal vesicles emanating from the crooked palms of the alchemist, and prostatic secretions entering the brewing pot from the side. Cowper’s glands (shocking pink) add a drop into the mix in the region of the membranous urethra to complete the formation of semen.
This phase is the “hotting up” just prior to ejaculation.
