Does One Drop of Semen Really Equal Ten Drops of Blood?

Male ejaculation

Many men often complain that their girlfriends’ sexual desire are too high, fearing they’ll be drained, since “one drop of semen equals ten drops of blood.”

Is a man’s semen really that valuable? If sex becomes too frequent, will it eventually affect his ability to ejaculate?

Normal semen is a thick and viscous mixture composed of sperm and seminal fluid, with the seminal fluid making up more than 90% of its volume. Normally, sperm and seminal fluid remain separate, but during ejaculation, they combine to form semen.

Although semen contains some nutrients, it has no direct relation to blood. Regular sexual activity does not cause any harm or depletion to a man’s body.

If the frequency of sex is too high and exceeds the body’s speed to produce sperm, the semen may contain very few or even no sperm. When the frequency exceeds the body’s capacity, it can have negative effects on health.

Then, will there ever be a day when a man’s sperm becomes depleted?

It’s important to know that a man’s testes continuously produce sperm once they mature. A healthy adult male can produce 70 million to 150 million sperm daily. As long as the body remains healthy, sperm production will continue, and sperm won’t deplete. However, with age, the quality and vitality of the sperm may decline.

However, in daily life, it’s important to have sex in moderation. This not only helps improve sperm quality but also benefits physical health.
