Do guys need to masturbate regularly so they can get rid of semen produced ?

[Anonymous]

It's for sex ed but I am curious what happens if you don't masturbate on a regular basis to the sack? Is there a need to do this regularly?

[DaveJord]

Yes there is a need to do it regularly. Masturbation does keep the testosterones levels higher, but I don't think the sack will shrivel up and die. But it will effect the how much semen you are producing, once you get to a certain level nature kind of demands that you do something with it... even if you don't masturbate I think you have wet dreams and it would happen anyway.

But if you don't keep producing semen then your testosterones levels will drop. I think any man that doesn't admit to masturbation is lying to you. I mean I think its pretty much impossible not to jack off, nature wants it to be used.

[God_of_Thunder]

Well, no; it's not a biological necessity, but there is an ever increasing urge to do so, the longer you go without.

The male body will continuously produce sperm and semen, but if a guy doesn't ejaculate after a certain period of time, the sperm will be reabsorbed by his body, and he will release semen either during sleep, or it will pass out of his body during urination.

[laurieluvsit]

Yes, it is called "Blue Balls"

Here is the dictionary version...

US slang. : pain of the testes and scrotum occurring after prolonged sexual arousal without orgasm. "She was so hot, she gave him blue balls"

Not all guys are effected by it but many really are :)

[Aerissa_Jade]

Look up the term "Wet Dreams" it will help your studies. Wet Dreams

[Jessica405]

There is a school of thought that says keeping semen/sperm within the body can lead to some form of cancer. Maybe prostate? Not sure.

[Asker]

That's dangerous

[Jessica405]

Doesn't happen until middle aged. Worth researching if you feel like it.

[Slingblade1126]

My doctor told me that it can possibly lead to prostate cancer if it's not released once in a while. That's why guys have wet dreams. Don't know if it's true but I was told that when I was young.

[Jessica405]

@Slingblade1126 That's what I am led to believe.

[Slingblade1126]

Fortunately prostate cancer is very survivable. It's not nearly as agressive as breast cancer.

[Jessica405]

@Slingblade1126 Very true!

[jerdanro]

Yes. It's healthier for the prostate to ejaculate on a regular basis. I don't think it is because of the semen. The prostate is what causes ejaculation.

[MossyMan]

No. Sperm cells die within 5 or so months after maturation, after which they are simply absorbed by the body.
Also, sperm is not actually stored in the testicles, that's another fact a lot of people seem to be clueless about as well.

That being said, not ejaculating regularly does have negative health effects, but it's not connected to "semen", but presumably the hormonal effects of sexual activity.

[ChrisMaster69]

Yes and no.

some or most is more mental health than physical.

it’s absorbed back in to the body eventually.

usually if a guy does not, he ends up with wet dreams, the brain wants release and tells the body to do it.

it’s a bit like submarines, they can remain underwater for a year, however they do pop up and let the seamen out.

[summiter]

All younger guys masturbate frequently but will not admit it. If they don't do it most will have some wet dreams in their sleep. Both are normal.
Your thoughts?

[Asker]

Ig you're right. I mean when they are young they're trying to learn about their body and due to the high testosterone level they must get horny a lot

[summiter]

U are correct. Most teen guys will jerk off daily if not more. It is normal, healthy and it feels grea

[Asker]

Cool

[Apple1996]

Nah I've heard it gets reabsorbed into the body if they don't get off. Any guy who says they have to get off cause they have too much sperm build up are lying

[TCredo]

agreed :)

[cookiecrusher]

Not entirely true. The body does get rid some of it and some of it will also come out on its own, with urination and such. It is often an unpleasant feeling to be without it for a long time. Sort of like a more chill but long lasting version of blue balls.

[ArchivalMars2]

I wouldn't say they have to for any medical reasons, but I'd say that its healthier to do it on a regular basis if nothing else.

[NathanDavis]

I don't know if it is a need... but I do change the oil at least once a month, any good engine needs to run at least once in a while, lol

[slatyb]

It's not medically necessary, but it's probably healthier to do it than to abstain.

Anyway almost everyone masturbates. in my opinion telling teens that masturbation is a sin is abusive. It's as natural as breathing and eating.

[Kaneki05]

Nope not at all. Semen naturally dies as fast as it's created. So every time one is made another dies. They do not last long at all and our bodies just stay in a endless cycle. Therefore there no need to urge it out with masturbation, also masturbation brings out the fresh working sperm for the obvious reason so it's not like that empties are dead sperm.

And we produce so much sperm in day and so much die one masturbation would not be enough to do so even if that's how it worked.

However there is a biological need for our mental health to masturbate so there is that.

[TadCurious]

Yes to your question if the guy isn't ejaculating from sex with a partner. In a healthy male there is a need to ejaculate periodically. It's good for his overall health and wellbeing and his prostate gland in particular.

[Bricealan]

As a regular 'Jerk-off", I have to say, I jack-off, and have jacked-off a lot, simply because it feels so damned good! The same reason you rub your clitoris until you orgasm, it feels good! My girlfriend loves to masturbate, but says she is "Glad I don't squirt anything"!

Another reason, it keeps the Prostate gland clear and supposedly it helps to ward off prostate cancer. I have no proof of that.

[josephinelcajon]

If you dont you will start having wet dreams so yes besides its fun!

[Dargil]

It does not build up like there's a storage tank. The body expels it in pee when it surpasses the body's "use by date". Cloudy urine is a hint that is happening.

[AviatorTom]

If needed, the body will automatically eject semen that has built up. It's called a wet dream. A guy does not have to regularly masturbate.

[Gwenhwyfar]

I’m not sure but I know most guys masturbate cause they get horny

[TCredo]

count me as one of them lol :)

[RealMarek]

If a man’s body builds up too much semen he will have a wet dream, produce less, or both. It is good for middle aged men to ejaculate periodically to reduce the chance of prostate cancer. It is even more beneficial to a man’s health if he periodically ejaculates in a woman’s vagina.

[bean2k21]

no our balls can actually expand
to the size of hot air balloons

[275153]

Not for that reason, but definitely for stress relief if a man does not have a partner. Semen that’s not used gets re-absorbed by the body. Think, for example, of men who have vasectomy. The sperm they produce is re absorbed by the body since it’s never released. But, when you don’t have a partner for intimacy, masturbating can give you some relief from stress.

[exitseven]

If I go a few weeks without sex or masturbation I just produce less. When I finally resume it is actually not as robust nd it may take a day or two to get back to normal.

[FilmGuy93]

No, but it feels good to.
