    Hi guys!

    I was reading this forum when it started and then kept on moving... with my life and what now I believe it`s a lot of PMO... I am 37 years.

    It never bothered me, though I always had the PE problem... since I am now married since 7 years and when it happens that we have sex 3 times a week or more with my wife, then almost no PE, and all is wonderful... but then life gets back to normal, sometimes we don't have sex for 2 months, for more...

    I go back to PMO and ... you all know the story. I never realized I ve had a problem since I noticed that I ve started to cum for like 1 minute, even less sometimes.. like a robot, like a machine.

    I used to synch my cum with the actors on screen but inevitably i have had to cum before they do...

    So we have 1 kid, and are planning now to have a second baby.. and I am thinking with NoFap - will I increase the quality of my sperm?

    I ve read here that a lot of gents got their gals pregnant after xx amount of NoFap so it`s seems really strong...

    On the other side we have been always thought to ejaculate every 3 days, to keep the sperm fresh, but I am not sure anymore...

    I know that after NoFap on the 7th day a study showed increased levels of testosterone and that is directly related with sperm genesis and etc.

    Interested to hear your opinion...

    ***This is just a presentation of research relating to fertility***

    Most of the research (although most of it is on animal models) is that excessive ejaculation causes problems. Masturbation seems to have developed as an evolutionary way to clear out dead/abnormal sperm but the way we masturbate (porn, edging etc) is very definitely not!

    With the testosterone theory, it does rise to day 7 in one study but then peaks or even starts to fall. Testosterone is actually higher after an ejaculation (provided it's with an actual person). The problem for most of us is that with excessive ejaculation our T receptors become less sensitive and our oestrogen receptors are more sensitive. This could well be why we get our "superpowers" doing NoFap - because our testosterone receptors become sensitive again and we can actually start utilising the testosterone that is in our bodies rather than an actual increase in T.

    The optimum seems to vary between studies. The World Health Organization recommends 2-7 days abstinence for optimum sperm. A study showed that you get the most motile sperm after just one day of abstinence. They do suggest that you may get higher counts with longer abstinence but anything over 4 days increases the number of less motile sperm. Longer term abstinence is somewhat unstudied territory but generally not recommended by fertility experts. The consensus seems to be that ejaculation every 2-3 days is probably best for sperm health.

    Hello diddykong,

    thank you for your reply! My T levels have been always a problem... 4 years ago, where we are about to have a baby, I had arround 6.5 mmol, 10 being the lowest value for men, so the doctors suggest to use some supplements, do sports and drop weight... then I got it to 10 at some point.

    Now that`s the thing - I am trying NoFap right now, on day 6, but eventually I am not having sexual intercourse that often, so the dilemma is how to say on NoFap and at the same time ejaculate 2-3 days?

    I tried to speak this to my wife, she "agreed" to help, but here it is I am on my 6th day and still no O.

    So I am thinking - because we want to have a second baby, that means that sex is in the game, and also ejaculation must be to refresh the sperm, probably I will stay "just" with cutting off the porn which is a biggie for me anyway... but then it won`t be a real hard mode NoFap but still something.

    The main issue for me to try starting NoFap is the PE situation that I am dealing with. Most of the guys that heavily use porn got an ED, some ED+PE, I have "just" PE but this is annoying and frustrating... so trying to rewire my brain and get my body to not equalize erection with ejaculation cause it seems I have trained my body and mind over the years to cum quickly when watching porn, even with all the edging that I have tried...

    Is this actually true? Some people replied to my post that you will have stronger babies if you don't waste your seed at all. Though i googled some things and it said if you go semen retention for some time you will have abnormal sperm, idk if this is true? Though i do look way better and more mature ( even my parents say that ) and i've hit 500+ days of SR, but idk.. sometimes i doubt SR and i am shit scared if i should have babies the first try or ejaculating lol
