[Knowledge] What are the consequences of men not having sex for a long time?

Written by: Bestvibe Published on June 10,2025

Preface

Last time we talked about “what changes girls experience when they don't have sex for a long time,” and the comments section exploded with messages from guys asking, “What about us guys? Will we have problems if we don't have sex for a long time?”

Since you're so curious, let me elaborate today on what happens to men who abstain from sex or masturbation for an extended period of time.

The Benefits of Abstinence

Abstinence does have benefits, but these benefits are fleeting and don't last long.

Some men experience a surge in testosterone levels during the first seven days of abstinence. During this period, they feel invincible, full of energy, with no aches or pains, and able to climb five flights of stairs in one go.

So if you've been masturbating too frequently lately and feel drained, taking a few days off is perfectly fine.

However, I suggest you don't take too long of a break, or it might not be worth it!

What are the consequences of long-term abstinence from sex/masturbation?

Decline in hormones, loss of virility

Fun fact: The blooming period of a night-blooming cereus is 1-2 hours, and after abstinence, male hormones will also peak on the seventh day and then gradually decline.

At this point, if you continue to resist masturbation, you will not only struggle to maintain the vitality gained from abstinence but may also become listless due to hormonal changes.

Impact on sperm quality

In healthy adult males, the sperm renewal cycle typically ranges from 70 to 90 days.

However, sperm also have a shelf life. If you abstain from sexual activity or masturbation for an extended period, a large number of sperm will remain idle and eventually age and die, reintegrating into the body.

Over time, sperm vitality naturally declines.

Difficulty Achieving Erection

Many people say they want to resist, but their bodies are honest—various sexual stimuli keep the penis and sexual center of the nervous system in a state of high excitement and congestion.

However, if you delay masturbation, the sexual organs may become overburdened, and their sensitivity to brain signals may decrease.

Over time, this may lead to a situation where you want to achieve an erection but cannot.

Impact on Liver Health

Surprisingly, prolonged abstinence from sexual activity/masturbation not only harms the kidneys but also the liver.

If men go without release for an extended period, their temperament may become inexplicably poor, and over time, this could even lead to depression.

This is because during sexual activity with a partner, men release large amounts of testosterone, which not only alleviates fatigue and stress but also facilitates emotional communication through intimate conversations.

On the other hand, if you constantly suppress your sexual desires, testosterone secretion will be significantly affected. You may become easily irritated by anything, and what does anger harm the most? Of course, it's the liver!!

Conclusion

In summary, whether you're a woman or a man, prolonged abstinence from sexual activity/masturbation is more harmful than beneficial. Regular release is key to achieving a better experience.

Sex should not be a burden or a source of anxiety. Everyone's bodily rhythms are different, so finding the right frequency and method for yourself is the essence of a healthy sexual life.
