There is a longstanding belief in some circles that strategically abstaining from ejaculating can bring mental, physical and sexual benefits. Here are some of the most commonly cited benefits of not ejaculating:
Increased libido - It has been hypothesized that avoiding ejaculation encourages your body to produce more testosterone, which could potentially increase your libido.
Erectile dysfunction prevention - A longer period of time between ejaculations may help to reduce the risk of erectile dysfunction.
Better orgasms - Anorgasmia, or the inability to reach climax, is reduced when abstaining from ejaculation. This can result in better orgasms when the time comes.
Longer ejaculations - Experiments have shown that holding your ejaculation for long periods of time can result in higher sperm counts, which can lead to longer ejaculations.
Greater control over ejaculation - With increased sexual stimulation, it is much easier to hold off on ejaculation for long periods of time. This can give you the ability to control when and how often you ejaculate.
Of course, the potential benefits of abstaining from ejaculation will heavily depend on the individual. Whether you find the practice beneficial or not, it is important to keep in mind that abstaining from ejaculation can lead to other issues such as a lack of libido or even sexual dysfunction. Therefore, it is important to talk to your doctor to decide if it is right for you.
