Does male masturbation frequency affect fertility?

This is an automatically translated article.

To solve their own physiological needs, many young people have "self-harmed" by masturbating at home. This is not necessarily a bad act, but according to experts, you may not fully understand masturbation. And many guys don't know how often masturbation affects fertility?

1. Is male fertility affected by frequent masturbation?

Men masturbating regularly does not have much effect on their fertility. Having sex with ejaculation several times a week will maximize your partner's chances of getting pregnant, whether you masturbate or not.
Some data suggest optimal semen quality after two to three days of no ejaculation. But other research shows that even with daily ejaculation men still have normal sperm quality and concentration.

2. Male masturbation and 5 things you didn't know

2. 1. Masturbation doesn't have the same health benefits as sex, says Tobias S. Köhler, an associate professor at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in Springfield, "It doesn't appear to be all of it." orgasms are all created equal.”
Various studies have been done showing that intercourse has many benefits for men. Those benefits include:
Benefits for blood pressure . Cardiovascular health Benefits for the prostate Has a pain-relieving effect. There are many men who think that masturbation will achieve the same benefits. But the truth is not so. Why is there a difference between you ejaculating during sex or masturbation? This has not been clearly explained. But your body seems to react differently to these two actions. Even the semen scores are different if you masturbate instead of having sex.
However, does that distinction really matter? Have you been masturbating all these years just because you want to boost your prostate health? A study by health experts at Harvard found that male masturbation can help reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

2.2. Is masturbation risk-free? Masturbation still has certain risks, but these risks are lower than having sex. Masturbation is the safest form of sex available today. No one has ever contracted STIs from themselves or gotten pregnant from masturbation.
But like other low-risk activities, masturbation still has certain risks. Frequent or rough masturbation can cause mild skin irritation. Bending an erect penis can rupture the blood-filled chambers, a rare but dangerous condition known as penile fracture.
Köhler has seen men with broken penises after rough masturbation. The broken penis looks like an eggplant, often purple and swollen. Most of these cases require surgery to repair the penis.
2.3. There is no "normal" frequency of masturbation Guys can feel anxious about not knowing if they are masturbating too much. But it's not the number of times you masturbate in a week (or a day) that matters, it's the amount of masturbation that's relevant to your life.
If you masturbate several times a day and lead a healthy, satisfying life then that's good for you. But if you masturbate several times a day and you're giving up work or sex with your partner because of it, consider seeing a sex therapist.

2. 4. Masturbation doesn't reflect relationships with the opposite sex Levkoff says the most damaging myth about male masturbation is that many people take it as a sign that something is wrong with their relationship. your relationship with the opposite sex.
In fact, most men have masturbated. They masturbate if they are single, in a bad relationship, or sometimes in a great relationship. It's just something they do that has nothing to do with their partner.
Sex is not just a way to orgasm instead of sex. Which for many people, it's a regular way to relieve stress, clear the mind before working or going to bed.
2. 5. Masturbation can help your sex life Masturbation can help your sex life, because that's how guys find out what they like during sex. Some sex experts say that women will be more satisfied in sex if they masturbate as much as men.
Dr, sex therapist Ian Kerner and author of She Comes First, says some guys get caught up in a certain pressure during masturbation or the stimulation of porn that they can't done with mates. Then masturbation may no longer benefit them.
However, those are the only exceptions, and for the vast majority of men, masturbation is a healthy thing. Sometimes a guy stops masturbating, which can be a sign of anxiety or health problems.

3. How long does it take for the body to produce new sperm?

The male body produces sperm every day, but a full sperm production cycle (sperm production) takes about 64 days. Spermatogenesis is the complete cycle of sperm production and maturation. It continuously supplies your body with a stream of sperm that can travel through the vagina to an unfertilized ovum in a woman's ovaries to conceive.
Men's testicles continuously produce new sperm during spermatogenesis. The full process takes about 64 days. During spermatogenesis, your testicles make several million sperm a day, with an estimated 1,500 new sperm being produced every second. A full sperm production cycle, a man can reproduce 8 billion sperm.
This may seem like an overkill, but you release 20 to 300 million sperm cells per milliliter of semen. That's why your body maintains an excess to ensure a fresh supply for conception.
Sperm production cycle includes:
Sperm cell division: diploid spermatocytes will divide into haploid spermatocytes that can carry genetic data. Sperm maturation in your testicles: Sperm maturation takes place in the testicles, especially in the semi-coniferous tubes. Hormones that help spermatogenesis work through this process until they become sperm. Sperm remain in the testicles until they are almost mature. Mature sperm have a head containing genetic material and a tail that helps the sperm move through the woman's body for fertilization. Movement of sperm into the epididymis: After the sperm mature, they move into the epididymis, a tube that connects to the testicles to store sperm. The epididymis is where sperm is stored until ejaculation. This is also where sperm achieves the best motility. This allows them to move when the semen is released during ejaculation.
Fertilization is most likely to happen when you haven't ejaculated for a while. Sperm regeneration is constantly filling the epididymis with new sperm. The longer sperm is accumulated, the higher your sperm count in one ejaculate.
If you and your partner are trying to conceive, waiting a few days between ejaculations can increase your chances of conceiving. You can further increase your chances by abstaining from ejaculation the week before a woman ovulates. This will maximize your sperm count during your most fertile period.
