Does Frequent Masturbation Cause Low Sperm Count?

Posted on Fri, 9 Dec 2016

Question: Does Masturbating almost everyday may lead to a low sperm count?
Hi,

I'm a 30 years old man, and I masturbate almost everyday once...like you can say 6 days a week. There's nothing wrong or awkward with me or with my penis or sperm, but a thought came up my head about the future...is it wrong to keep on doing this in order to have babies later in future .i want baby after 2 years ..

My Q is, does masturbating as I mentioned above may cause low sperm count or less chance of having a baby? And how can I know that? How can I prevent that?

A solid answer is appreciated.

Thank you.
XXXX ..

Brief Answer:
Masturbatory behavior will not lower sperm counts.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir

Masturbatory behavior, however frequent will not lower the sperm counts and impair your capacity to father a child. This is a straight forward answer.

Masturbatory behavior itself is not wrong and need not be be prevented unless it hinders your daily work.

Thank you.
