Daily sex can help you get pregnant

In recent research recently, the experts found that daily sex can improve the quality of sperm and help you get pregnant. The reason is that daily ejaculation can reduce DNA damage and increases the swimming ability of the sperm. This article in the Times said this :

While abstaining from sex for a few days raises the sperm count, quality can be damaged if a man ejaculates too infrequently. A study at Sydney IVF, a centre for infertility treatment, has found that daily sex for a seven-day period substantially improves the genetic quality of sperm, without lowering sperm counts enough to impair fertility.

David Greening, who led the research, said that for some couples having intercourse every day during the woman’s most fertile period could be crucial to starting a family.

Helps couples having IVF

The research also says that this will affect couple who are undergoing IVF treatments too.

Men are usually advised to abstain from ejaculation for three days before providing a sperm sample for fertilising their partner’s eggs and many couples do not have regular sex while going through IVF.

When men go without ejaculating, the number of sperm stored in the epididymis at the top of the testicle increases. The longer that sperm sits in the epididymis, however, the more genetic damage it accumulates through exposure to heat and to oxygen free radicals.

Dr Greening has been running tests on men with sperm which show DNA damage, getting them to have daily sex had show a reduction in damage by 12% .
