Duration of sexual arousal predicts semen parameters for masturbatory ejaculates
2002
Abstract A man's semen parameters may vary considerably from one specimen to the next, partly due to variability in the conditions under which the specimens are produced. In the present study, the relationship between the duration of preejaculatory sexual arousal and the quality of semen produced by masturbation was investigated. Twenty-five regular semen donors aged 22–44 provided a total of 292 semen specimens (median 11 per donor) over a period of 4 months. Each specimen was produced after a minimum of 3 days of ejaculatory abstinence and measures included the time taken to produce the specimen, ejaculate volume, sperm concentration, and percent motility. Linear regression revealed that, controlling for donor identity, there was a significant ( t =2.13, P
