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

I will pile on and join the consensus that time between ejaculations does affect the size of the load.

I seem to top out when I have not shot in about 3 days. If I go beyond three days it stays about the same. If I am on a horny run and ejaculating more than once in one day the loads are noticeably less- but the orgasms are still great!

And you're way more likely to be a daddy in 9 months because the amount of sperm is exponentially more and the force with which it shoots out is generally greater.

A healthy man's sperm count is relatively stable and will recover to full count in just a few days after ejaculation.

Force of ejaculation has very little to do with conception. As long as semen is deposited near the cervix, that's all that's necessary.

The tendency the longer the abstinence, is to shoot farther, more spurts of ejaculate, & perhaps even more viscous ejaculate. The orgasm tends to resonate even more intensely throughout the whole body. This may be a more pronounced effect for someone who normally ejaculates daily, and then doesn't for a week or so.

I recently conducted an online consultation with a patient who I had examined in-person several years ago. (They are a member of this site).

in preparation they were instructed to abstain from ejaculation for 72-hours prior but the exam had to be brought forward so they had abstained for 48-hours.

During the exam which lasted approximately an hour they achieved a full erection for a considerable time, however choosing not to ejaculate during the consultation. They reported subsequently that a little later that evening they had achieved full orgasm which produced what they described as a very prolonged and intense orgasm with a large quantity of ejaculant which just kept coming

in discussion we believe that the abstaining combined with being aroused over an extended period contributed to this

I abstain for several days prior to an annual psa test, and get a much bigger ‘load’ afterwards.

Not for me. I find I cum more if I have been edging for a hour or two first, or if somehow my prostate was stimulated well before I ejaculate.

Both. If I hold off for one to three days the next load gets bigger, after three or four days it stops increasing. At the same time, if I beat it off at least daily for a week, near the end, the amount of stuff that comes out starts increasing, if I keep going, it will keep getting bigger for several days and there will be a carry-over effect for a couple days after.

I haven't knocked one off for almost a week now, due to an unusually busy schedule. I always “edge”, so that normally adds to a powerful load. Now I'm going to hold out until this Saturday! I haven't waited this long, about 10 days, for years. It should be epic!

Guys, just read the medical science as to how long seman stays in the body before it regenerates. Although not a perfect formula for all, medical data will quickly give you the answer to the posting.

I don't. What does make a difference in the quantity of my load (and the strength with with I ejaculate, and especially how far I do) is how long I've been aroused. Say I've purposefully kept myself aroused for many hours in a row, my load will be really impressive, powerful and I'll be able to ejaculate very far.

Edging close to ejaculation and then stopping, repeatedly over several days will produce a startling load expelled with dramatic force.

I once did this for more than a week and then visited an Asian Massage Parlor (AMP). At my ‘happy ending’ the spunk hit me in my face. The girl asked me if I had a girlfriend. I said that I did, in Hong Kong. All she said was, “She is very lucky!”

The down side of this technique is that it will give you a nearly terminal case of ‘blue balls’.

I haven't masturbated in a few days so it'll be interesting to see how much load I produce when I do..

From National Library of Medicine:

“Lengthy sexual abstinence was found to affect all semen characteristics. Semen volume and concentration and total sperm count showed significant increases, whereas motility and normal morphology decreased significantly with duration of abstinence. Significant changes in the percentage of normal sperm forms were observed after more than seven days' abstinence.”

The term “sperm motility” refers to the ability of the sperm to swim the right way. Motility may matter as much as sperm count when it comes to getting pregnant. If the sperm can't make the journey to the egg, pregnancy won't occur.

From personal experience - and after many, many experiments, I would not draw that same conclusion, 😡

What a fascinating and lengthy thread!

Yet are we any nearer knowing the full science and reasoning?

I thought as I was getting older my ejaculate was less but after what happened this week after an extended period of arousal but just one day of abstinence I am not so sure. It was an amazing display!

Also, perversely I have an entirely unproven theory - more a gut feel - that the feeling of my orgasm, my bodily responses and so on is perversely stronger with less ejaculate. And vice versa. Of course that may be wrong but I will keep experimenting and measuring both!

If i edge myself for a few days, i tend to shoot a bigger load and its more intense as well

@gwhap,

I just found this thread. Haven’t thought actively about this for awhile, but at the inconceivable current age of 70 as of last month, my pattern is quite consistent. Earlier in life, lack of sex (very common) or masturbation (very uncommon) always increased my volume of ejaculate and the apparent force of ejaculation, as well as ease of reaching orgasm. OTOH, aging has definitely gradually decreased not my libido very much at all, but definitely my erectile function and ease of orgasm. Gradually over 10-15 years or so, my ED has progressed to being almost complete. With a lot of both mental and physical stimulation including input from my kinks, I can feel a bit of erectile stiffening sometimes, which does help a bit with orgasms. The extent and onset of my ED is complicated by a very long extensive use of antidepressant medication for many years. Most of them caused ED themselves during use but usually was reversible, but I haven’t been on any for several years now, so I suspect my ED is a mixture of the chronic AD meds plus aging. I can still orgasm, not nearly as strongly or as easily as in younger years, but usually requiring intense stimulation by masturbation plus fantasy plus kink as I‘ve been solo since 2009 or 10.

If I abstain for any period of time, my next load is definitely bigger. If I last a week, then it's considerably bigger

I haven't masturbated in a few days so it'll be interesting to see how much load I produce when I do..

Came hard last night only using my hand. Didn't have time to use a main squeeze which increases the sensations, but produced a big load that drained me totally.. Had one of my favourite fantasy's in my head so all good.

@ericmacson My orgasms are still intense - but the volume of ejaculate has significantly decreased. Fortunately, I don't have an erection problem - my “recovery” time is significantly longer, and I can't sustain an erection for as long as I used to. I experimented with Cialis and found that it didn't make for a more firm erection (that really wasn't a problem) - but it did increase my ability to sustain it for a longer period (never came close to the dreaded 4 hours and trip to the ER!). I still need a stimulus to achieve an erection - it just doesn't pop up! Sometimes I feel like a 17 year old is trapped inside this 70+ year old body!!

@gwhap,

I’m happy to hear that your sexual 17-year old is alive and mostly well. Even if you need more of a stimulus to get to your erections these days, I imagine that uses up a bit more time but is still a satisfying way to get there. Many happy returns.

Days of abstinence has only a slight impact on my load size. The bigger factor for me by far is time spent aroused leading up to the orgasm. I can quickly jerk off and have a small to medium load with not much distance. If I am erect, browsing Zity, reading erotica, or physically edging myself for a few hours before orgasm, that’s when my load size, pressure, and intensity of orgasm are the greatest.

I think indeed the load is bigger, and I take less time to reach orgasm.

I’ve found that abstainimg can have a slight increase in load, but I personally have a more intense orgasm when I tease and edge a lot beforehand, as well as abstaining. Finally getting to release after so long, and after some edging does normally make my “load” bigger.

Yes a week to 10 days it’s definitely more volume but my urologist PA said after 50 I should be ejaculating at least 5 times a week. I guess research has shown it slows prostate enlargement.

I have never gone very long, but what I usually find is the first time after a while is thicker. Then after that, the next several are more voluminous.

That's consistent with articles I've seen on the internet that recommend 21 times/monthwill lower have a 31% LOWER RISK of prostate cancer by 31%.

But not every study agrees. A 2004 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association didn’t find an association between ejaculation frequency and prostate cancer risk (Leitzmann, 2004). And a 2008 study published in BJUI International involving 800 subjects found that young men who reported more sexual activity (both masturbation and sex) actually had a slightly higher risk of developing prostate cancer in their 20s and 30s (Lophatananon, 200😎. But more prolific sexual activity seemed to protect against prostate cancer after age 50.

Oh yeah have a bigger load if I abstain for a couple days. Problem is, I do it once or twice a day. Lol. 😁

I have a bigger load if i wait a week yes. i often can climax and ejaculate separately so i end up with 2 orgasms! Love it.

It definitely increases the amount if I abstain for a couple days but I rarely abstain for that long. 😊
