More Frequent Sex Improves Sperm Health

A new study shows that more frequent sex can help improve sperm health. There's been a debate over whether it's better to have sex frequently, or refrain from sex for a few days before a woman's most fertile time. The logic was that refraining from sex may help build up more sperm.

Turns out that sperm health deteriorates over time. In the study, they looked at the sperm quality of 118 men, who had above average DNA damaged sperm. They found that if the man ejaculated every day for seven days, the quality of his sperm went up.

So, don't wait until your fertile days to have sex! Warm up in the bedroom for a week before, and you just may boost your chances of conceiving.
