Doctors Say More Frequent Ejaculation Improves Sperm Quality

THE more frequent the sex, the better the chances of conception, fertility experts advised today after finding that frequent ejaculation improves sperm quality.

Conventional wisdom says couples trying to conceive should have sex every second day during the woman's fertile period, and those undergoing IVF are advised to abstain for three days before providing a sperm sample.

But Sydney IVF clinician and reproductive medicine specialist Dr David Greening says it now appears abstinence can actually be detrimental to sperm.

"There's no doubt that there's increased DNA damage to sperm with abstinence, and the quicker you get the sperm out, the less damage there is," he said.

"I would say the idea that abstinence improves your sperm count is probably completely wrong, and that before and around the time of fertility couples trying to conceive should be having as much sex as they can.

3. Makes sense

THE more frequent the sex, the better the chances of conception,


Isn't this redundant? You are more likely to become pregnant if you try 20 times instead of just once? Keeping it in also helps.
