A member asked:
Will masturbation affect spermatogenesis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: Very short term, your sperm count may go down, but within hours to days it will come back to normal. Long term there is not effect. Frequent ejaculation may cause an increase in spermatogenisis to replace the sperm that were "used or lost".
