A member asked:

Does masterbating use as much sperm as sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Varies: The length of time of genital stimulation determines the amount of sperm that is ejaculated. Usually masturbation nor intercourse change the amount of sperm that is produced, but the length of stimulation does.
