The Sperm Count

So, health professionals have discovered that for men with low sperm counts, sexual abstinence -- but only for a day -- increases semen quality.

Among samples classified as being low sperm counts, peak sperm concentration occurred after 1 day of abstinence and declined thereafter.

Normal sperm also peaked at 1 to 2 days of abstinence for low-count men.

Samples with normal sperm counts showed a slight decline in sperm concentration during 2 days of abstinence, followed by a gradual increase to a peak on days 6 and 7.

Seven days of abstinence will improve sperm quality among men with normal semen, the researchers add, but abstinence beyond 10 days is not recommended.

And if you find that a little convoluted, here's the real male point of view: "honey, wake me up if you wanna hump."
