A member asked:

Can several ejaculations within a short period of time cause zinc deficiency in vegeterians..who do not take zinc supplements?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: A person, vegan or not, does not get zinc deficiency from ejaculating several times. If he worries about things like this, he can a typical once-a-day vitamin+mineral supplement that contains zinc.
