Guys: Do you have a bigger "Load" when you abstain for a week or so?

I haven’t noticed much/any real change in semen volume so long as my husband has a resting period of at least 12 hours or so. If we have intercourse late in the evening and then in the morning before we get out of bed his volume is down significantly. I can tell because he has fewer rhythmic contractions while he is ejaculating. I can usually feel 6 or7 or occasionally more if he is rested and only 2 or 3 distinct pulses in the morning. I have noticed that after he ejaculates 4 or 5 times in a short period of time not much comes out at all. In general the consistency of his semen changes with time since his last orgasm. It is very thick and slow to liquify inside me if we have not done it in a couple of days. If we have sex several times in a day, his semen is very thin and watery after the first few times.

@Dita Sounds like your husband only gets to abstain from sex/ejaculation for a few minutes or hours!!! Lucky guy! 😄😄😄😄😄

If I abstain for a week or longer, my next ejaculation is definitely bigger.

I think volume goes down naturally as you get older although I don't think I've ever paid attention to the amount afterwards. I'm just happy when Willy works as advertised!

Not bigger, but I would ejaculate further & tend to get a bit messier.

Yes, although I couldnt manage a week, i managed 3 days once, nearly killed me! Just adding, if i dont cum for 24 - 48 hours i cum lots more..

When I was younger (teens, early 20's) I sometimes experienced delayed ejaculation - I just couldn't make it to the finish line. So abstinence for some period of time didn't result in a larger ejaculate - just the opposite - no ejaculate. As a result, my balls ached - Blue balls, known medically as epididymal hypertension can cause pain and aching in the testicles after having an erection without an orgasm.

I don’t know that I have ever made it more than a couple of days😃

I have tried to abstain - but always failed.

I have abstained from ejaculating for a few days, but still edged several times. In those cases, I had more ejaculate, but it was also more watery.

Yes, when it has been a while, anything more than a couple days, it is always a bigger load. Also, If I have been edging for a long time (more than 2 hours), even if the very next day, it is a bigger load.

Three days of abstinence maximizes load size. It doesn't get bigger after that for me, but the load does get progressively bigger with abstinence of 1, 2 or 3 days. The degree of arousal and duration of stimulation also affects ejaculate volume.

I would say that for me the answer is yes, the load increases. The length of arousal also seems to increase the load. I would say Horace's comment directly below is also my experience.

Load volume is minimal immediately after ejaculation, and rebounds over a period of a day or several days. The recovery time and ejaculatory volume seem to be affected by stimulation and arousal during the recovery period. The volume of ejaculate in any particular instance also seems to be affected by degree and duration stimulation and arousal.

More intense and thicker

I have never measured it but it sure seems like a lot more after abstaining for at least a week.

Yeah deffo, more if i wait xx

Yes - A much bigger load after a period of abstaining.

If I abstain for a few days, yes, it is bigger. But there seems to be a limit at which additional days do not result in bigger loads. Abstaining for a week does not get me a bigger load than abstaining for 3 or 4 days. But my loads are relatively big to begin with.

According to my experience yeah they do

Definitely bigger after a few days… A few times in one day, quantity gets fairly small.
