Scientists discover unexpected side effect of regular masturbation

Researchers are revisiting long-standing assumptions about how ejaculation frequency may affect sperm health. For years, popular advice around male fertility has included everything from dietary changes to limiting sexual activity, yet many of these beliefs were based more on speculation than science.

Trends like “No Nut November” have also promoted the idea that abstaining from ejaculation boosts testosterone or improves fertility. Medical experts, however, generally disagree. Some research suggests that long periods without ejaculation may contribute to increased stress or low mood rather than offering physical benefits.
