Volume of ejaculate.

I have a question for the men among you. I did a little research and it seems that the average volume of semen produced in men are as follows

Men under 52 produce around 3.2ml per ejaculate

Men over that age produce around 1.9ml per ejaculate.

I wonder if this is representative of the zity men too? If you could say if you belong to group A ( under 52 years) or group B ( over 52 years)

I am in group B and the numbers seem pretty correct for me.

@Secret_sub Group B (maybe even Group C) here. I've never measured, but volume definitely decreases with age - but at least the well isn't dry!!!

Quality over quantity any time!!!

I'm in group B less chances of having more kids 😂

Yes I’m also in group B !!

Group B+ here. Probably a teaspoon. If I go a week to ten days (not lack of desire but lack of privacy), maybe a tablespoon. Feels just as good as it did sixty-plus years ago, and is still tasty!

I'm off to do my own research right now... :-) mine varies depending on the interval between ejaculations too...

I am in upper half of group A.

As for amount it varies but seems to be strongly dependant on interval between ejaculations, how well I am hydrated, how well rested, diet and so on.

Ejaculate is composed of multiple seminal liquids produced by different glands. As well, fertility is not linearly related to volume of ejaculate, as quantity is not always equal to quality (in this case quality is a quantity of sperm in the volume 😃 ).

Usually about a teaspoon, but If I edge for a week, I can produce a very full tablespoon. I tried edging for 2 wks (almost went crazy). It was very difficult because I needed to release so bad, but I made it. It wasn't worth all the stress though. I exceeded the tablespoon by only a couple drops... but I know now. Maybe try I'm a year to see if any decrease. It's a fun experiment because afterwards, I can take my "medicine." Mmmmm

I agree with Gauguin. If I cum 2x a day for a week then the 8th day will produce a smaller amount of ejaculate than if I had abstained for the 8th and 9th days, then ejaculated on day 10. If your body gets used to producing regular amounts of cum, and then you don't ejaculate for several days, the volume will build up.

Highly variable based on frequency of ejaculation, state of arousal, build-up to cumming, etc. Edge me for a good long while and I come in convenient quart sizes! Just kidding, but definitely a larger volume. My urethra is somewhat stretched so what shoots is often not a big volume, I have to "milk" some of it out but it's usually a teaspoon or so.

Pre vasectomy (23 years ago) my volume was a good bit more and when I was young there was some significant power to it. At 19-20 years old I had a girlfriend who threatened to put targets up on the ceiling! She loved the show and who was I to deny her the entertainment?

I'm in group B and yes the volume of semen when I ejaculate is less nowadays I'd say. I've had a vasectomy and apparently the sperm content in the semen is around 10% so that would reduce the volume some, but I expect age is a factor as well.

I remember reading years ago that although there appears to be loads of semen when a man ejaculates, it is only actually equivalent to a 5ml teaspoon. In my group A days I had to give several semen samples for fertility and vasectomy purposes, but once the semen had become liquid it only measured around 3ml in the specimen bottle. So @Secret_sub 3.2ml sounds fairly accurate.

Well I’m in age group B but tend to towards group A for volume, but with the caveats that it depends (how long since last shot; how aroused when you do etc) and that most here will struggle to meaningfully measure such small volumes. I mean it’s damned messy, hard to control stuff (not called ‘Aphrodite’s Evo-stik’ for nothing) and the moment of its release is not most men’s optimum for careful containment either.

With this in mind I did once use a small portable balance to weigh a load, assuming density similar to water. Look I was bored, OK? It’s easier to aim your pride & joy at a tared container on a weigh scale than to go shepherding your wayward spunk into a micro measuring cylinder after the event.

But it always seems more than even 5ml perhaps because of its destructive power. Urban legend is that the 1970s pop band ‘10cc’ took their name from the then assumed volume of male ejaculate.

"Urban legend is that the 1970s pop band ‘10cc’ took their name from the then assumed volume of male ejaculate."

This note by BulgeinPants reminded me about another urban legend I heard. Ejaculate volume also prompted the name of the '60s pop band "The Lovin' Spoonful.

I never really thought about the specific volume of cum I produce. I recently crossed over into age group B, but have not noticed any significant changes over the years. Like others, I notice it drops dramatically for my second (or occasionally third orgasm) of the day, but year over year I appear to be holding fairly level.

I recently went a week without an orgasm. Normally I would be masterbating multiple times a week, but sometimes life gets hectic. I decided to edge myself for half an hour this morning and then measure it. All for the advancement of science, of course.

I was able cum into a small glass, and then transfer it to a graduated medicine doser. It was 9.5 ml. That number surprised me since I’ve been reading the other posts on this thread. The amount in the glass seemed typical for me given the circumstances, but I’ve just never seen it in a measurable setting. I’m pretty certain that would be my max volume.

I don’t do anything intentionally to affect my volume. I have a rather average diet and lifestyle. It’s possible I masterbate more often than average. At maximum I could probably log 10 orgasms in a week, but with an occasional zero week like I mentioned, I would put my average around 5 times a week throughout my life. I credit most of that to just being horny and having sex on the brain much of the time. A while ago I read a news story that frequent orgasms may reduce chances of prostate ailments. Then a while later I read that orgasm frequency may have no significant benefit. I decided not to change my habits. As long as it’s not bad for me, I’d rather err on the side or more orgasms. Maybe frequent use keeps the organs limber? I really don’t know. Measuring and posting about it does make me feel like a bit of a freak.

@Secret_sub I hope this data helps your scientific research.

My second wife used to say I dumped a whole orphanage in her. Couldn't swallow it all at once. 😃

That dropped off a bit after the vasectomy and now I am sure it is a lot less.

I recently had an MRI on my prostate and the doctor told me to abstain for three days to get it filled. So, I guess, you don't need to hold off more than 3 days to get the full load, any more than that, you are just torturing yourself.

I'm in group B and somewhere around when I turned 60 my volume of semen ejaculation decreased significantly. When I was younger, I use to have a substantial amount of semen when I would orgasm, but this has decreased as I have gotten older. If I have masturbated or had sex the day before then the volume will be less than the previous days. If I go several days without masturbating or sex then my volume of semen will increase, but it is never close to what it used to be when I was younger.

I am in group A. My medfet doc often measured volume of ejaculated. It seems dependent from built up arousal and duration of stimulation. She collect the sample from me not less than one hour from the start of the session. After a genital examination she applies different procedures edging me several times. Finally she let me ejaculate keeping my foreskin deeply retracted with glans inside a glass tube. She strokes a little my penis in pauses between a contraction and the next and finally squeeze my penis from the base. Generally my volume of ejaculate on those conditions is about 8.5 ml.

I am in group A. There has been a decrease in output with age that's for sure but it is tied to stimulation as well as someone else mentioned. Edging definitely helps in producing more. Even though volume has decreased the pleasurability (if that's a word) is same.
