my friend told me of someone who just got married, and found out he couldn't have children because his sperm was like a 70 year old man's sperm due to wayyy too much masturbation when he was young....is this true?? can this actually happen?

Your body is constantly making new/more sperm and unused sperm are reabsorbed by your body. I forget the number, but at it's peak your body will make something like 500 million sperm cells per day!
Now it's possible that as you get older the process slows down and is more prone to producing defective sperm, but the cells do not get old. Unlike women, men produce sperm cells through out their life. Women are born with all the eggs they will ever have and then one or more matures each month during their reproductive years.

It is absolutely true, when viewed under a microscope each of the sperms look like father time. Normal sperm swim at high speeds into the vagina to fertilize an egg, these aged sperms use a Rascal.

Totally false. In fact, regular masturbation keeps it fresh. The more sex you have the more fertile and productive you are. It keeps everything working well. Think about it: don't beat off and your sperm becomes funky and stale. You will have a backlog of stale sperm, but if you have sex frequently, it keeps being replenished. Producing sperm is like producing saliva or any other body fluid.

that's a ot of baloney. Sounds to me like one of those stories an adult would use to try to convince a teen to stop masturbating. Reality is masturbating is actually heathy for you; way more so than wearing tight underwear (which overheat the testicles and reduce sperm quality).
So my preference is to go commando and masturbate regularly since that is better for my sperm than tight underwear and not having my selfpleasure.

Quite the opposite. The more that you masturbate, or ejaculate, the fresher your semen and sperm are. Even if you don't masturbate or ejaculate regularly, your body will constantly be producing more sperm, and re-absorbing the old fluids.

No it can't happen.
It's a load of old bollo**s. Doesn't matter how much you masturbate, you can't 'age' your sperm. Urban myth or total invention.

That is B.S. just like all the old tales. Masturbating is fun. Don't worry about anything bad happening, just enjoy it.

Sounds like a total load of rubbish to me. Ask you doctor next time you are there - I'm sure he will laugh.
