Some people ejaculate once a month or week; others do it on a daily basis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The question is, does frequent ejaculation affect fertility and sperm count? If so, will the number of times you ejaculate affect optimal sexual health?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a lot of speculation when it comes to ejaculation and regular masturbation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A ton of myths circulate the internet. But, which of these are actually true?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We dig a little deeper and shed some light on this popular question. Here is what experts have to say.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-frequent-ejaculation\"><strong>What Is Frequent Ejaculation?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many stereotypes of manliness pervade the common misconceptions about masturbation and ejaculation. Masturbation may be a difficult topic to talk about. But, in reality, around 92% of American men and 76% of women masturbate. 80% of men who use sex toys claim they are a practical option for a better masturbation experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/15069045\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Studies<\/a> on frequent ejaculation, particularly males who ejaculate 21 times (or more) a month, found that men might have a lower risk of getting prostate cancer. These results were compared to those who ejaculated less frequently. About 4 to 7 times a month.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Ejaculation features <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/prostatic-fluid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fluid from the prostate<\/a>, bulbourethral glands, and the seminal vesicle. Though the fluid of the prostate has a wide range of substances, its main job is to deliver sperm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, more and more studies have popped up stating that frequent ejaculation has many benefits, especially on prostate cancer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to experts, ejaculating frequently could decrease prostate cancer risk. Having satisfying sex can also amplify prostate health and overall wellbeing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That begs the question: does frequent ejaculation affect fertility? Would it make your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/sexual-health\/male-sexual-health-disorders\/\">sexual dysfunction<\/a> worse?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"does-frequent-ejaculation-affect-your-sperm-count\"><strong>Does Frequent Ejaculation Affect Your Sperm Count?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/sexual-health\/what-lowers-sperm-count\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Low sperm count<\/a> means that the semen you ejaculate while having an orgasm has fewer sperm than it normally would. The sperm is considered low if a man has less than 15 million sperm \/milliliter of semen. Men with low counts have decreased odds of impregnating a partner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, there are those who are still able to father a child. <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/2054949\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Research<\/a> indicates that although high ejaculation frequency affects the volume and density of the sperm, it will not impair your potential to have a baby. Nor does it have an effect on initial sperm characteristics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While some men might find intimacy to be the last thing on their minds. Especially after cancer or prostatic hyperplasia treatment, for others, there is a bigger need for closeness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cancer therapy can make intimacy feel different. That doesn\u2019t necessarily mean it will be worse. But you will need to adapt and communicate with your partner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"does-frequent-ejaculation-affect-your-fertility\"><strong>Does Frequent Ejaculation Affect Your Fertility?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Excessive masturbation can temporarily decrease the sperm reserve. However, the body is still able to produce more sperm. This means that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/sexual-health\/how-many-times-can-a-man-ejaculate-a-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how often men ejaculate<\/a> is unlikely to affect their fertility.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts believe that optimal semen quality happens 2 to 3 days after no ejaculation. But, conflicting data indicates that people can maintain normal sperm concentration and motility even if they ejaculate daily.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to maximize your odds of getting your partner pregnant, then having sex with regular ejaculation a couple of times a week can help. Regardless of whether you decide to masturbate in the meantime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"side-effects-of-frequent-ejaculation\"><strong>Side Effects of Frequent Ejaculation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Masturbation is safe and harmless. If you are being too rough, you can experience tenderness and chafing. But it will subside in a couple of days. You could experience the side effects of frequent ejaculation, like guilt and reduced sexual sensitivity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/19435656\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Large cohort studies<\/a> speculate that ejaculating frequently might be tied with an increased risk of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/prostatitis-causes-in-young-men\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prostatitis<\/a>. Particularly in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/prostatitis-causes-in-young-men\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">younger men<\/a>. These could be classified as one of those side effects of frequent ejaculation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you ejaculate during masturbation, the pelvic muscles undergo a coordinated yet intense contraction. This is to expel the semen \u2013 a process linked with locally amplified lactic acid levels and free radicals as a byproduct.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can lead to changes like dilated veins, edema, and muscular malfunction. These can cause typical complaints in patients with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/chronic-prostatitis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chronic prostatitis<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/chronic-nonbacterial-prostatitis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chronic pelvic pain syndrome<\/a>.

Here are a few examples.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"myth-if-you-ejaculate-on-your-own-too-much-this-habit-will-affect-your-sex-life\"><strong>Myth: If you ejaculate on your own too much, this habit will affect your sex life.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people believe that those who ejaculate a lot have poor sexual activity. But, the fact is, masturbation won\u2019t lead to erectile dysfunction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, can you masturbate with ED? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/sexual-health\/erectile-dysfunction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Erectile dysfunction<\/a> makes it difficult to maintain an erection for successful penetration. However, people could still be able to masturbate. But, it depends on what\u2019s causing the issue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If, let\u2019s say you have bacterial prostatitis or an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/bph\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">enlarged prostate<\/a>. These conditions can cause pain. During a flare-up, you might find it uncomfortable to ejaculate or masturbate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same thing applies to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/prostate-cancer-symptoms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prostate cancer symptoms<\/a>.

But other than potential guilt and possibly reduced sexual sensitivity, masturbation doesn\u2019t have to be that big of a deal. In fact, data shows that it offers general health benefits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can promote <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/sexual-health\/bedtime-sex\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sleep<\/a>, relaxation, body image, well-being, and self-esteem.
