'More intercourse makes better sperm'Date: 16/10/2007 09:32:50

New studies have suggested that in order to boost sperm production and heighten the chances of getting a partner pregnant, men need to engage in more sexual intercourse.
University of Sydney researchers told the American Society for Reproductive Medicine conference that daily sex could boost the chances of men with low fertility sperm making their partner pregnant.
Conventional wisdom and much health advice has up to now suggested that couples with fertility problems should abstain for periods in order to allow sperm development before trying for pregnancy, but the new findings suggest that sperm health is improved by frequent intercourse.
Studying the sexual trends of over 40 men whose sperm had been identified as abnormally shaped when subjected to microscopic analysis, sperm damage was in most found to be lower after frequent use and replenishment.
Dr David Greening, presenting the results to the conference, said: "I'm convinced that ejaculating more frequently, i.e. daily, improves sperm DNA damage in most men by a decent amount.
"Men think if they abstain for longer times before, say, ovulation that their sperm will be better. [There may be] more volume and numbers but DNA damage may increase."
