After four days of not fapping, the benefits get smaller and smaller.

Okay.

But still, no fappers are absolutely onto something here.

But when it comes to the egg and sperm race, quantity is not the only game in town.

Quality too, right?

What's the point in having a bunch of swimmers if they can't reach the target?

And studies have found, including one that looked at sperm samples from more than 2,000 men, that if you are looking at swimming in particular, so motility, fapping is your friend.

So people who got off more tended to pump out better swimmers.

Yes.

Okay.

So to give you some more details about...

what frustration looks like to a sperm.

So one way we can look at this is through DNA damage.

And so when your sperm gets a little damaged, that can make it harder for that sperm to then go on to create a baby.

And so let's look at what Brent found.

So what did you find in terms of does retaining your semen improve your sperm's DNA?

Yeah, so the more time between busting a nut, on average, more DNA damage in the sperms.

And this makes sense once you have a better idea of where sperm gets stored and made in the body.

So basically sperm are made in the testicles and they're really happy there.

The temperature's great.
