There is no specific or universally recommended frequency for how often a man should ejaculate. Research indicates that ejaculation has several health benefits, including reducing the risk of prostate cancer, improving sperm quality, boosting immune function, reducing stress, and promoting better sleep. However, there is no evidence that not ejaculating causes health problems
. Some studies, such as one from Harvard University, suggest that ejaculating about 21 times per month (roughly 5 times per week) is associated with a significantly lower risk of prostate cancer. But this is not a strict guideline, and the evidence is not conclusive. Other research shows that moderate ejaculation frequency (around 2 to 4 times a week) may also be beneficial, and ejaculating more often than that does not necessarily provide additional risk reduction
. Ejaculating twice daily during sexual intercourse is generally considered normal and safe, but ejaculating more than twice a day through masturbation may cause overstimulation or fatigue for some men
. Ultimately, the frequency varies widely depending on individual factors such as age, health, relationship status, and personal preference
. In summary:
- There is no "right" or "wrong" frequency; it depends on what feels good and healthy for the individual.
- Ejaculating regularly (several times a week) may offer health benefits, especially in lowering prostate cancer risk.
- Excessive ejaculation is only a concern if it interferes with daily life or causes distress.
- Semen retention (avoiding ejaculation) has no proven health benefits or harms.
Men should focus on their overall well-being and sexual health rather than a fixed ejaculation schedule
