Is there a relationship between sperm quality and sexual intercourse frequency?

The quality of sperm is closely related to the frequency of sexual intercourse. Normal and healthy men have the highest sperm quality if they have sexual intercourse every 3 to 4 days. It is generally believed that semen quality must meet the following standards to have good fertilization ability: the number of sperm per milliliter of semen is more than 60 million, the sperm survival rate is greater than 60%, the sperm abnormality rate is less than 15%, and the semen liquefaction time is short. in 20 minutes. If the sperm count is less than 20 million, the survival rate is less than 50%, and the abnormality rate is greater than 20%, it is basically impossible to conceive.

If a couple has sexual intercourse too frequently, once or more per day, the number and maturity of their sperm will decrease, the number of abnormal sperm will increase, and the success rate of conception will naturally be greatly reduced. Normal and healthy young and middle-aged men can produce about 200 million sperm every day. After the sperm are produced, they need to stay in the epididymis for a few days before they can gradually mature. Frequent sexual intercourse will result in insufficient sperm count and no residence time in the epididymis, resulting in a significant decline in sperm quality.

Of course,having sexual intercourse too frequently is not conducive to conception. Sperm stored in the body for too long will naturally age and die, their mobility will decrease, the number of abnormal sperm will increase, and their quality will also decrease. In addition, after sperm is stored in the epididymis to a certain amount, it will be engulfed by its own giant cells and cannot increase the number of sperm in semen indefinitely.
