ejaculation frequency

Andrew Huberman discusses the topic of ejaculation frequency in the context of fertility optimization. He explains that while frequency can be influenced by personal preferences for pleasure or bonding, for the purpose of optimizing fertility, couples are often advised to have intercourse every other day leading up to ovulation. This recommendation is based on ensuring a sufficient sperm count in each ejaculate, as more frequent ejaculations can lower sperm concentration, potentially impacting fertility outcomes 1.

He also mentions that factors like electromagnetic fields from devices, endocrine disruptors, and the frequency of ejaculation can impact sperm count. He notes that the ideal semen parameters for fertility involve a sperm concentration in excess of 15 million sperm per milliliter of ejaculate, with volume typically ranging from 1.5 to 5 milliliters, depending strongly on ejaculatory frequency 2.
