There are news reports that a master’s student died suddenly while masturbating for sperm in the sperm collection room of a provincial human sperm bank, his fourth sperm donation in 11 days. It is thought that he died of sperm exhaustion caused by excessive ejaculation. Can excessive male ejaculation lead to death? What should men be aware of when donating sperm? Sperm banks have strict health requirements for sperm donors: Sperm donation, like blood donation, is a humanitarian act. Infertility can seriously affect family well-being and social stability. For couples whose infertility is caused by the husband’s lack of sperm, fertility problems can be solved by artificial insemination using the sperm of the sperm donor. Sperm donation and artificial insemination by sperm donor must be carried out in a nationally recognized hospital or human sperm bank. The general physical requirements for sperm donors are men between the ages of 22 and 45, over 165 cm in height, in good health, using the masturbation method for sperm extraction, free of drug addiction and other bad habits, free of hepatitis B, AIDS, STDs and other infectious diseases, color blindness and familial genetic disorders. The general process of sperm donation is that the donor goes to the sperm bank to register and sign an agreement, undergoes a health examination and semen examination, and those who pass the medical examination undergo about 10 times of masturbation for sperm retrieval within a certain period of time. After 6 months of semen cryopreservation, the sperm donor will have to undergo a blood test, and only after passing the retest can his or her sperm be offered to infertile couples for artificial insemination. The sperm donor has to abstain from ejaculation for 3~7 days before sperm retrieval. Sperm banks generally do not allow sperm donors to come too often to donate sperm because it may result in substandard sperm quality and also be detrimental to the health of the donor. Sperm donation is usually done at the sperm bank’s sperm donor room. The sperm donor room is usually a small room, which is equipped with a sofa or bed, TV, sink, etc. Some beautiful pictures will be hung on the wall, and some sperm donor rooms are equipped with call buttons. The sperm donor is in the sperm donor room, watching sexually stimulating videos or pictures, masturbating himself, ejaculating into the sperm taking cup, and then handing it over to the staff. Can accidents happen during sperm donation? It is a very rare accident that someone dies suddenly during sperm donation. This may be because the deceased was suffering from cardiovascular disease or other hidden illnesses himself and happened to die of illness during sperm donation. If the sperm donor was suffering from high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, cerebral angioma and other diseases, or if the sperm donor was overly fatigued due to staying up late or insomnia, the elevated blood pressure caused by sexual activity may cause a cardiovascular attack and fainting or even sudden death. Therefore, men suffering from coronary heart disease and other diseases should not be used as sperm donors, and they should also pay attention to reducing their sex life in general, and not to get too excited during sex. Before donating sperm or before engaging in sexual activity, be sure to rest well and avoid excessive drinking, staying up late and being too tired. When dizziness, chest tightness and other uncomfortable symptoms occur when donating sperm, you should rush to press the call button of the sperm donor room and call the medical staff to come in for assistance. Will excessive and frequent ejaculation lead to sperm exhaustion? Excessive and frequent ejaculation (masturbation or sexual intercourse) is indeed harmful to health and can cause fatigue and weakness in men, but it will not lead to death. If frequent ejaculation could cause death, then masturbation would have become a popular form of suicide long ago. In fact, after ejaculation, men’s penis and other reproductive organs will be in a period of inactivity, unable to erect and ejaculate, which is the body’s self-protection mechanism to avoid excessive fatigue, just like the heartbeat is not under conscious control. In fact, many people have a misunderstanding of the term “sperm exhaustion”, where the term “sperm” actually refers to the essence of the essence, according to the ancient understanding, “sperm” is equivalent to the function of the human organ The “sperm” refers to the function of the body’s organs, not the semen and sperm. Many men have the bad habit of staying up all night, staying up all night will lead to excessive fatigue and heart and other organ failure, equivalent to the loss of human “essence”, too fatigue and sudden death, is the real “essence of death”. The actual “sperm” is not completely depleted. Semen consists of sperm and fluid secreted by the accessory gonads and is mainly composed of water, inorganic salts, proteins and sugars. All of these semen ingredients can be replenished through the daily diet. Normal adult men will continuously produce sperm and semen, which will then be discharged through ejaculation or seminal emission, etc. The semen that is not discharged will be reabsorbed and utilized by the body, which is a normal metabolic process. Of course, the frequency of ejaculation should not be too frequent, 20 to 45-year-old adult men ejaculate 1 to 3 times a week, which is the appropriate frequency. The adult male through masturbation or sexual intercourse and other ways to regularly ejaculate and empty semen, will promote the metabolism of the reproductive organs, to meet the sexual desire and relieve sexual anxiety, beneficial to physical and mental health, too long not to ejaculate but may cause prostatitis and other male diseases. Therefore, the idea that men will ejaculate all their semen will lead to death is very wrong and absurd.
