Ejaculation Frequency: How Frequent Should Men Ejaculate on Average?

Let’s get it straight: there isn’t any particular average number of times a man should ejaculate in any given day, month, or period. It all depends on factors such as a person’s overall sexual health, age, and relationship status.

However, the research suggests that the more frequently you ejaculate, the better it is for your health.

 

According to a 2016 study, men who ejaculated at least 21 times a month experienced lower prostate cancer risks compared to individuals who ejaculated around four to seven times a month. Researchers suggest that frequent ejaculation reduces inflammation that contributes to prostate cancer risk by clearing it of toxins and irritants.

What are the benefits of ejaculation?

There isn’t plenty of research available on ejaculation and its benefits to health. However, there are several ways ejaculation may enhance your sexual and overall health:

  • Reduce cardiovascular disease risk
  • Encourages improved sleep hygiene
  • Promotes a healthy immune system
  • Enhances sexual relationships. Sexual arousal boosts oxytocin levels. Oxytocin is a hormone thought to promote intimacy between partners.
  • Reduces stress levels. Sexual arousal and orgasm cause a dopamine rush. Dopamine is a hormone responsible for triggering pleasure and satisfaction centers, leading to less stress.

 

Does ejaculation lessen prostate cancer risk?

Good question –– the answer is “maybe.” Data is conflicting, but studies appear to support the claim that ejaculating moderately – that is, twice to four times a week – is linked to lower prostate cancer risk.

That doesn’t mean ejaculating even more frequently further reduces your prostate cancer risk. Worsening the confusion, data from other research indicates that men who have fewer sexual partners in life and begin engaging in sexual activity later in life have lower prostate cancer risk.

 

What is semen retention? Is it good for your sexual health?

Certain communities, influencers, and sites argue for the practice of semen retention or avoiding ejaculation completely. Practices involve abstaining from masturbation, edging (or masturbating until the edge of orgasming), or avoiding ejaculation while engaging in sexual activity.

Proponents of semen retention believe that retaining ejaculate matter maintains energy and boosts sexual health by holding back semen within the body. While there’s no harm in learning how to extend one’s performance in bed, there is no scientific evidence supporting the claim that semen retention benefits your health.

How often can a person ejaculate in one day?

It’s proven that regular ejaculation is good for you. But is too much of a good thing bad for you? That is, can you ejaculate too frequently in a day?

The truth is, there isn’t a single magic number for how often you should ejaculate in a day. Overall health, sex life, and relationship status are all factors that determine how much you masturbate in a day.

Notably, every man has their own refractory period that is unique to them. The refractory period refers to the length of time an individual is unable to produce an erection or ejaculate. It changes with age and its length differs for every person. If in your early adulthood, it only took you several minutes before you could physically ejaculate again, it might take you hours or days as time goes by.

The refractory period indicates when the body can physically ejaculate again. However, ejaculations arise from an interlinked process of sexual arousal, erection, and orgasm that involves emotions, hormones, and many other factors.

However, there’s no need to worry about how often you ejaculate, because sperm counts run into the millions. You won’t run out of sperm anytime soon in your lifetime.

 

Ultimately, there’s no such thing as too much ejaculation for as long as you and your partner are completely satisfied with it.
