There is no specific "right" number of times a man should release sperm or ejaculate per day, week, or month. The frequency varies widely and depends on factors like age, libido, relationship status, and overall sexual health. Most men should ejaculate as often as it feels comfortable and natural for them. Some research suggests health benefits linked to regular ejaculation, although more extensive studies are needed. For example, ejaculating frequently may:

• Lower the risk of prostate cancer (with some studies suggesting doing so about 21 times per month)
• Improve sperm quality
• Support heart health
• Reduce stress and improve sleep
• Boost immune function

Sperm are produced continuously, taking about 64 days for one sperm to develop, and the ducts refilling sperm storage take roughly 3 days. Ejaculating every 2 to 5 days may help maintain healthier sperm by avoiding damage from prolonged storage. Importantly, there is no harm from ejaculating frequently, and sperm count will naturally replenish over time. The refractory period (time to recover before another erection) varies by individual but is often about an hour. In summary, men should ejaculate as often as feels right to them, keeping in mind that frequent ejaculation may carry some health benefits, especially for prostate health.
