No: There are folks who'll tell you that enjoying your body will make you infertile. This is bunk. The "science" they use is that if you ejaculate frequently, your sperm count is lower -- but this is because less fluid is reabsorbed. These folks are trying to manipulate and deceive you -- i'm sorry it happened.
