"The longer men went without sex, the more their sperm showed signs of DNA damage and oxidative stress, and the more tests rated the sperm as less viable and poorer swimmers."
"All we recommend is that clinicians and couples reconsider whether long abstinence is always good, because abstinence leads to deterioration in sperm quality."
"If sperm quantity is the only thing that matters for a clinic or couple, then sexual abstinence is not necessarily a bad thing."
Research indicates that men should ejaculate more frequently to enhance sperm quality and fertility. Sperm shows signs of DNA damage and oxidative stress when stored for extended periods. The World Health Organization's guidelines for abstaining from ejaculation before fertility tests may need reevaluation, as they prioritize sperm count over quality. A meta-analysis of 115 studies involving nearly 55,000 men revealed that sperm deteriorates regardless of age. Clinicians and couples are encouraged to reconsider the benefits of long abstinence for optimal sperm quality.
