Too much soy could have unfortunate side effects for your manhood, according to a study published in the Oxford Journal. It likely has to do with phytoestrogens, Clark says, a naturally-occurring plant nutrient that has an estrogen-like effect on the body. As we mentioned earlier with alcohol , fat cells convert testosterone to estradiol—similar to estrogen—which hurts sperm production. Men who eat processed meat, like pepperoni, bacon, and lunch meat, daily have lower sperm counts than those who eat them sparingly, though the exact reason why is unknown, Clark says.
When the stress hormone cortisol floods your body, you experience a decreased sense of well-being and your blood pressure rises. Some research suggests hormones called glucocorticoids—released in response to prolonged stress—might be to blame for mussing up your testosterone levels and semen quality, though.
Frequent sex means more ejaculation. The less time sperm spends in the testicles, the less likely it is to be damaged over time. Masturbation is good for you in moderation. First of all, the physical risks are negligible. Men may injure their penises if they masturbate too vigorously or too often without lube.
But onanism is the only form of sexual expression that carries no risk of STIs. Contrary to popular belief, masturbation also does not increase the risk of prostate cancer or decrease sperm count or quality. That said, when it comes to emotional and mental health risks, there may be cause for concern in the age of pornography. Scientists have uncovered a troubling link between high rates of masturbation and overall unhappiness.
To the contrary, long periods of abstinence that is, no ejaculation whatsoever have been linked to fertility problems. The following chart comes from a study involving a small sample of 16 men. Researchers found that semen volume and sperm concentration increased slightly after eight days of abstinence, but sperm viability and motility remained roughly unchanged. Some data shows that optimum semen quality occurs after two to three days of no ejaculation. But other research suggests that men who have normal sperm quality maintain normal sperm motility and concentrations even with daily ejaculation.
Ultimately, having sexual intercourse with ejaculation several times a week will maximize your chances of getting your partner pregnant, whether you masturbate or not.

Having sex every two days to three days throughout your partner's cycle will give you the best possible chance of conceiving. But if you don't have any fertility issues, having sex more often than this won't hurt. However, if you've been told you have a low sperm count, having sex more than once every few days may make it more difficult to get pregnant.
This is because your body takes up to three months to produce new sperm. So frequent sex may mean that your body can't produce enough sperm for every ejaculation. However, all men are different. One study has shown that for couples where the man's sperm has damaged DNA, daily sex may be beneficial. If you have fertility issues, speak to your GP or fertility expert, who can offer advice that's specific to you and your partner.
