Some men should have sex every day to maximise the chances of getting their partner pregnant, researchers say.




The more they get out the better!

Well, it's very relevant to couples struggling to have a baby. The received wisdom was to avoid ejaculation for a few days before ovulation, so as to increase the quantity of sperm. This research has turned that on it's head.

Seems rather to confirm the very first google result I got on this subject.

Quote:
Although it takes the average fertile couple 5-6 months to conceive, the time to conceive can often be reduced to less than 3-4 months for fertile couples who know when they are fertile and who engage in regular and frequent intercourse during their fertile time.


So, having sex more often leads to greater chance of getting knocked up. Who'da thunk it?

Well, it's not something I've ever worried about. I seem to get 'knocked up' altogether too easily... Embarassed

I was about to ask if you were alluding to personal experience until I read further on this thread. Cool

So there are more chicks in the nest than the one in your old avatar, eh?

I hear that balancing a guitar on your left leg and wedging it against your crotch can have this effect, eh Mr. Tamborine Man? Shocked

I heard somewhere that vitamin E encourages the outflow. I am not sure about that, though. A former roommate claimed that some porno stars take Vitamin E. I have no clue.

Yes. I think my husband simply has to look at me and say "abracadabra!" or something. Confused

Wouldn't that be a good thing? There already seems to be too many people around now...in my opinion.

So, having sex more often leads to greater chance of getting knocked up. Who'da thunk it?

From the very begining of the article:
Quote:
It is known for couples with fertility problems to abstain from sex for several days to boost sperm numbers before trying to conceive.

Not quite the same thing. Also, the scientists have discovered some pretty useful info in this study about damaged sperm:
Quote:
This research shows that when you put people on a daily ejaculation regime, it reduces the figure for DNA damage.

The study is about boosting sperm (quality), not just increasing the chances of getting pregnant.

I heard a similar thing about porn stars, but I thought they were generally injected with a cocktail of chemicals which dramatically increased the "output", as well as prolonging climax.

I don't have a link, but I recall that ejaculating a lot is the best defence against prostate cancer too.

That's the best news I've heard all day. Besides the Red Sox going to the world series (I almost came all over myself when I heard they won game 7).
