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.
