does masturbation decrease sperm count?

Self pleasure does not decrease your sperm count and is probably more healthy than harmful.

Don't worry.  I'm almost 30 and I still masturbate 1-3 times everyday.  When I was your age it might've been worse.  I was still able to make two children after all that sperm from my teenage years went down the shower drain and into the toilet wrapped in tissues.\n\nAlso, the consistency and volume of your sperm will often change.  When I was your age, I often shot blanks when I masturbated, because I wasn't allowing the pressure to build up.\n\nIf you are with a woman, and you make out for a while before having sex, so you are arroused longer, you will probably find that your semen is thicker with greater volume.\n\nTry this:  Rest for a day.  Then, when you masturbate, try to keep yourself arroused for as long as possible before ejaculating.  Don't let yourself finish in less than 20 minutes.  You'll probably find that your volume and thickness of the fluid is OK.

I know what you are talking about because when I (in)ejaculate during masturbation I press my finger beneath my penis low down next to my scrotum and when I orgasm the fluid just disappears back into my body.  It still feels good whatever you call it.  Oh and by the way I am able to stay erect for ages without ejaculating during heterosexual experiences.

Masturbation - \n\nIt is not a sin. it is one way of enjoying sex by oneself with out going to any other person of the opposite gender.  God will not mind if you Masturbate as he is now aware of what is masturbation and your will be doing it in the bathroom or in a separate room with doors closed. \n\nIt will not hurt anyone as you are not going to  beat anyone with your action. Secondly you are not going to do it in front of others. So why worry. i find your worry is baseless and there is nothing harm to do it.  \n\nNow you should know something about Mastubation. What is it?Masturbation is the manual excitation of the sexual organs, usually to the point of orgasm. It can refer to excitation either by oneself or by another (see mutual masturbation). It is part of a larger set of activities known as autoeroticism which also includes the use of sex toys and non-genital stimulation. There are also masturbation machines used to simulate intercourse. Masturbation and sexual intercourse are the two most common sexual practices, but they are not mutually exclusive (for example, many people find the sight of their partner masturbating highly erotic). Some people are able to achieve orgasm only through masturbation and not sexual intercourse.\n\n[edit] Benefits\nIt is held in many mental health circles that masturbation can relieve depression and lead to a higher sense of self-worth (Hurlbert & Whittaker, 1991). Masturbation can also be particularly useful in relationships where one partner wants more sex than the other — in which case masturbation provides a balancing effect and thus a more harmonious relationship.\n\nOn July 16, 2003, an Australian research team led by Graham Giles of The Cancer Council published a medical study [2] which concluded that frequent masturbation by males may help prevent the development of prostate cancer. The study also indicated that this would be more helpful than ejaculation through sexual intercourse because intercourse can transmit diseases that may increase the risk of cancer instead.\n\nMasturbation is also seen as a sexual technique that protects individuals from the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS. Support for such a view, and for making it part of the American sex education curriculum led to the dismissal of US Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders during the Clinton administration.\n\nSome people actually consider masturbation as a cardiovascular workout. And while doctors have no proof of this actually being true, those suffering from cardiovascular disorders (particularly those recovering from myocardial infarction, or heart attacks) should resume physical activity (including sexual intercourse and masturbation) gradually and with the frequency and rigor in which their physical status will allow. Some doctors will advise those recovering from heart attacks to resume sexual activity (solitary or with a partner) when one is able to climb two flights of stairs without experiencing shortness of breath or chest pain-.

you produce a certain amount of sperm every day and everyday yesterdays sperm dies and new sperm is produced so if you ejaculate more than once a day your sperm will be decreased for that day but you will make more tomorrow... masurbation is a wonderful thing it teaches you about your likes and dislikes and ultimately will make you a better lover... and though your penis might get bigger when you have an erection it won't stay that way and it sure isn't going to shrink.

Abstinence has no harmful effects on your body, however sexual activity has benefits.\nFrequent ejaculation, regardless of whether it's with another person or not, has been shown to help reduce the risk of prostrate cancer.  Orgasm achieved by mastrubation is also beneficial in relieving stress.\nThe only real benefit in sexual intercourse with another person (as opposed to solo mastrubation) is the exercise gained by the vigor of the act.

Hye this is what I found from ROBERT ANDERSON, M.D.:\n"  Caffeine's effect on your sperm count depends on the health of your reproductive system. If you have a low sperm count, caffeine may increase your fertility. If your sperm count is normal, however, caffeine might decrease your chances of impregnating your partner. "\n\nSo there you have, but he later admits no real conclusive studies have been made, I would suggest to stay away from all energy drinks though, as they are banned in several countries, because not enough research has been done on the subject, and there have been problems with them.

No, nobody knows what causes this, and it doesnt seem to be amenable to treatment.  They can take semen and concentrate the sperm that is there, for artificial insemination, though.  Also, a low sperm count from drugs will sometimes reverse with time.

the sperm count must at least be 30million/ml.Ur friend should check a doctor cz he cannot solve this problem by himself.He needs to be checked up inorder to find the problem.It might be due to the spermduct or improper sperm secretion from the seminiferrous tubule...there are plenty.........See a doctor

you're kidding right?  GF read the box- douching is not a spermicide- you'll be cleaner but not less pregnant.

Masturbation as much or as little as you want. I am currently 20 myself and masturbate one to two times a day on average. Sometimes I will skip a day or two and let my body build up with sperm. It will make for a better ejaculation. There is no set number of times that a man should masturbate.  Everybody is different in how often they masturbate. Some do it often, while others do it not so often. Just go with whatever you feel is the right amount of times. Masturbation is safe and a great stress reliever.

Connection between ejaculation frequency and prostate health \nhttp://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/4961.html\n\nQUESTION:\nI have been coming across articles on the connection between masturbation, ejaculation, and overall health. I was very surprised about this article from the Cancer Council Victoria in Australia . It was a study that confirmed that ejaculation frequency is important for a healthy prostate. The protective effect was most significant in men in their twenties who ejaculated on average 7 or more times per week. It compared this against same-age men who ejaculated less than 3 times per week. I made a New Year's resolution to pay attention to my body and to ejaculate at least once a day. I feel much better for it and my penis strength and sexual urge has increased immensely. I feel balanced. After a year, I can't imagine going back to my old repressed frequency and probably couldn?t keep from cumming for a whole day if I tried now. Why aren?t people made aware of this need? After getting used to daily +, I often have the urge to do it even more, but hold back. Are there any physical problems with over ejaculating? \n\nANSWER:\nWhat a fabulous New Year’s resolution to pay attention to your body!  Your efforts are worth applauding, as being in tune with yourself and your new masturbation schedule seems to have paid off, as you note that you feel “balanced” and “much better for it.”  Happily, no physical problems are associated with over-ejaculating, so don’t worry about giving in to the natural urge to enjoy and pleasure yourself more often.  You clearly have a strong awareness of the positive effects of masturbation on your body, so go ahead and experiment with masturbation frequency – in this way, you can determine what frequency feels best for you and your regular routine.\n\nYou also ask why people aren’t made aware of the “need” to masturbate often.  Good question – especially in light of the study’s findings that frequent ejaculation helps reduce the risk of prostate cancer.  Unfortunately, self-stimulation – as with most sexual acts – is often viewed as shameful, dirty, immoral, and all sorts of other negative adjectives.  Wouldn’t it be great if masturbation could be seen as the healthy, enjoyable, and beneficial activity it really is, openly talked about and (gasp!) endorsed?  Perhaps one day it will be – with more people like you who are open-minded and bold enough to talk about it in a positive light.  \n\nEnjoy – and pass that article along to friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, and anybody and everybody else! \n\nMASTURBATION MYTHS:\nfrom http://www.jackinworld.com/library/myths.html\n\nChances are, of all the things you've heard about masturbation, most of them were absolutely false. For some reason, misinformation surrounds masturbation like virtually no other topic. How do you spot a masturbation myth? One simple method is to ask yourself if the statement is also true of sexual intercourse. When you're masturbating, your body only knows it's getting sexually stimulated; it doesn't know by what means. So, for instance, if the question is whether or not masturbation causes acne, think of it this way: If it did, intercourse would also cause acne. In fact, neither masturbation nor intercourse cause acne.\n\nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes hair to grow on your palms.\nFACT:\nHow many people with hair on their palms have you seen?  \nMYTH:\nMasturbation causes hair loss, chronic fatigue, and other problems.\nFACT:\nInternet scam artists have tried to invent a concept called "overmasturbation," insisting that you have to buy their expensive herbal pills in order to counteract the effect of masturbating more than a couple of times per week. But the pills have absolutely no effect — and masturbating once or twice a day will not make your hair fall out, or cause anything else they claim.\nMYTH:\nMasturbation is bad for your eyesight. \nFACT:

No but it will cause your sperm count to dramatically decrease, causing no ejaculation, which in turn as you grow older and you won't have normal kids. You know they will be like you. lol

No, it has no effect on penis growth. It is healthy to allow the penis to fill with blood.\n\nHowever, overdoing it will temporarily lower fertility since max sperm count is available after 40 hours of rest.
