A Mixed Sex Blessing?
Reuters reported this week on a small Australian study that found that men who had damaged sperm were able to significantly increase the quality of their sperm by ejaculating daily. Apparently doctors debate whether or not it improves chances of pregnancy for men to abstain from sex prior to trying to conceive. This research suggests they shouldn’t; that while frequent ejaculations does decrease the volume of ejaculate, it actually increases the quality of the sperm (so for those keeping score, this is one of those times when size doesn’t matter).
I’m not sure that better sperm is going to be an argument guys pick up in terms of reasons to have more sex or masturbate more frequently. Getting pregnant is one of those things no one wants, until they do. But it might be a helpful thing to know if you’re trying to conceive via sexual intercourse and having difficulty, as a call to have frequent sex for pleasure is kind of the opposite of what often happens in that scenario.
