does mastrubation cause loss of sperm count?

Answer 1

nope, its actually good for sperm count....unatural things like cell phones and riding on a bike(whether motoriezed or pedal), hormones in foods are also bad for us
kinda scary really

Answer 2

Loss Of Sperm Count

Answer 3

Frequent masturbation MAY cause a temporary lowering of the sperm count. But if you stop for a few days, it will come back.

Answer 4

No, if you masturbate everyday you will produce a smaller amount of semen and sperm but if you rest for a couple of days your body will have time to produce a large amount of semen. Masturbation is good for you and for your reproductive system and you should do it as often as you feel like it.

Answer 5

Moderate masturbation like three times a week is OK. The excessive masturbation can deplete your sperm and energy very fast. So, I would say you should masturbate moderately.

Answer 6

Just temporarily. Your body will manufacture more quite quickly. And, remember, it only takes ONE sperm cell to fertilize an egg, and when you ejaculate, you shoot out several million!!

Chow!!

Answer 7

no, but i was told once that yellow 5 which is found in mellow yellow and other drinks lower sperm count, never investigated it though

Answer 8

Yes, but not enough to rely on it as a form of birth control

Answer 9

This is from my hubby's database:

from http://www.babyhopes.com/articles/causes-low-sperm-count.html

Causes for LOW sperm count:

Testicular Exposure to Overheating.
Overheating (such as from high fever, saunas, and hot tubs) may temporarily lower sperm count. Work exposure to overheating may even impair fertility.

Substance Abuse
Cocaine or heavy marijuana use appears to temporarily reduce the number and quality of sperm by as much as 50%. Sperm actually have receptors for certain compounds in marijuana that resemble natural substances and which may impair the sperm's ability to swim and may also inhibit their ability to penetrate the egg.

Smoking.
Smoking impairs sperm count, sperm motility, reduces sperm lifespan, and may cause genetic changes that affect the offspring. Additionally, a 1999 study found that men who smoke have lower sex drives and less frequent sex.

Malnutrition and Nutrient Deficiencies.
Deficiencies in certain nutrients, such as vitamin C, selenium, zinc, and folate, may be particular risk factors for low sperm count in such cases.

Obesity.
Some studies, but not all, have found an association between obesity in men and low sperm count.

Bicycling.
Bicycling has been linked to impotence in men and also may affect the sperm count. Pressure from the bike seat may damage blood vessels and nerves that are responsible for erections. Mountain biking, which involves riding on off-road terrain, exposes the perineum (the region between the scrotum and the anus) to more extreme shocks and vibrations and increases the risk for injuries to the scrotum.

Genetic Factors
Genetic factors are proving to be important contributors to male infertility. Such genetic conditions may be inherited or caused by environmental assaults. Inherited disorders can genetically impair fertility.

Environmental Assaults
Over exposure to environmental assaults (toxins, chemicals, infections) can reduce sperm count either by direct effects on testicular function or on the hormone systems, although the extent of the effect and specific environmental assaults involved are often controversial. Some chemicals that affect sperm production men are : Oxygen-Free Radicals, Estrogen emulation pesticidal chemicals (DDT, aldrin, dieldrin, PCPs, dioxins, and furans ), plastic softening chemicals like Phthalates, hydrocarbons (ethylbenzene, benzene, toluene, and xylene)

Exposure to Heavy Metals.
Chronic exposure to heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, or arsenic may affect sperm production and most often cause a reduced production in otherwise healthy males. Trace amounts of these metals in semen seem to inhibit the function of enzymes contained in the acrosome, the membrane that covers the head of the sperm.

Radiation Treatment.
Radiation treatments and x-rays affect any rapidly dividing cell, so cells that produce sperm are quite sensitive to radiation damage. Cells exposed to significant levels of radiation may take up to two years to resume normal sperm production, and, in severe circumstances, may never recover.

Low Semen Levels
A reduced amount of ejaculated semen (less than 0.5 milliliters per sample) may be caused by a structural abnormality in the tubes transporting the sperm.

Varicocele
A varicocele is a varicose vein in the cord that connects to the testicle. (A varicose vein is one that is abnormally enlarged and twisted.) Varicoceles are found in 15% to 20% of all men and in 25% to 40% of infertile men. It is not clear how they affect fertility, or even if they do at all.

Answer 10

No but if you do it too much your penis will fall off!
