Masturbation and low sperm count ?
Posted: 01-03-08 14:39pm

I was wondering if masturbation can cause low sperm count? I have been masturbating about 5-6 times a week for about 10 years. I dont have any problems that I am aware of. I still have a good sex drive, but im not sure if all the masturbation is affecting my sperm count. I do plan on having kids someday. Also, is it normal to have less of an ejaculation the more you masturbate? Thanks!

Masturbation shouldn't affect your sperm count. And, if you masturbate frequently, it is possible for less semen to ejaculate the second time. Your body does need time to replenish itself.

Thanks for the reply Marvel. Ok, so I dont have to worry about the frequent masturbation affecting my abilities to have children then? Are there any negative affects of masturbation I should be aware of? It seems that i am addicted to masturbation because I like it so much....i just want to make sure it wont have any long term affects. Thanks again!

I'll tell you what I told another concerned person. Masturbation has absolutly zero negative effects, and infact is somewhat healthy. Sperm count is only temporarily affected but no need to worry, your body constantly produces sperm. Sperm count is lowered by three main factors in a healthy person. One is how long ago you masturbated last, for obvious reasons. The second is how aroused you get before ejaculation. If you get an erection and masturbate imediatly and ejaculate ASAP your sperm count will be lower than if you took your time and played around prior. The third is how erect you are, again for obvious reasons.
