Reabsorbed: The secretions that contain and carry the sperms are partially reabsorbed if you are abstinent for several days ("backed up"). This is why the sperms are more concentrated than if you ejaculate daily; this fact gave rise to the myth that enjoying your body frequently will interfere with your fertility by "lowering your sperm count".
