How to Increase Sperm Count

Low Sperm Count – A World Wide Problem

The surrogacy industry is leading the way in pushing the high semen content barrow with several leading fertility institutions supporting projects aimed at increasing sperm count kicking in over the past twelve months. Surrogacy brokers advise that while they can find surrogates to carry the fertilized egg to term and then produce the baby, if the parents want a better chance at success right from the word go, they need to work on their sperm count.

If you think of fertilizing an egg with sperm like a computer, the more you put in the more you get out. Greater volume of semen increases the chances one of the sperm will make it to the egg and impregnate. Even in the petrie dish environment the best laboratory can provide, the journey is not one where the destination, for the sperm, is guaranteed.

Along with greater volume of semen comes greater quality. If a larger percentage of the sperm in the ejaculate is healthy and alive then there are more swimmers available to try to make it to the egg. When it comes to IVF, this means that the lucky sperm injected directly into the egg will more than likely be very healthy and a prime example of the gene pool.

So, how do you increase your sperm count and thus improve your chances of making life? The answer is fairly simple in some regards and extremely complex in others. Much like real life and human biology. You need to think of the computer analogy once again.

Garbage in, garbage out. You need to feed the sperm donor a healthy diet of nutritious food. Plenty of protein, grains and vitamins and minerals – all the building blocks of DNA and life itself. The same for the egg donor. She must also be in great health and fit, firm and vibrant. If you don’t give the donors the best fuel to burn as they make the eggs and sperm then you have no hope of producing quality or quantity.

If you put good things in, then don’t poison them with bad things. Toxic substances such as nicotine, drugs of addiction, excessive alcohol and even caffeine can all lower the sperm count. Not only will there be fewer wrigglers, the ones that are there will wriggle less and so are less capable of making it to the egg, let alone piercing it.

Finally, abstinence. Abstain from exercising the sperm with too many orgasms for at least five days. On the sixth day, do it. Any more of an interval than that and the sperm may ‘go off’. Any less and the volume hasn’t built sufficiently to really make a difference.

So eat well, exercise, abstain from unnecessary orgasms and you will have a better chance than before of ejaculating great gobs of sperm rich seminal fluid.

What do pond weed, seaweed and sperm have in common? Quite a lot, actually. First of all we need to know something about sperm. When they begin their life cycle they are actually a germ cell. The name for these is spermatogonia which is not the name of a country on the government’s No Travel List, just a fancy word for sperm eggs. These eggs carry all 46 chromosomes after differentiating into spermatocytes in the testes and then they divide by a process known as meiosis. Now they contain 23 chromosomes and are known as haploids. To become diploids they need a female egg to join with, get back to the full 46 chromosome count and possibly create a human being.

Some life forms such as seaweed, pond weed and ferns have both haploid and diploid bodies. This makes them ideal for studying the whole sperm world thing. They are easily bred and reproduced in a bucket of pond water in the case of the haploid of choice, Chlamydomonas, a kind of green algae. The National Science Foundation maintains a facility at Duke University where not only do they produce lots of Chlamydomonas for research, they store various mutant varieties for future reference.

These algae produce sperm like gametes which have two flagella which they use for swimming and grabbing hold of other gametes. Much like human sperms that link tails to form barriers to keep out any other contenders wrigglers, these gametes join up using their flagellas. If the flagellas are lost, they quickly regrow making them a superb variety to study for research into this fascinating branch of reproductive science and general biology.

Amazing as it sounds, important human sperm structural proteins were first identified in the flagella of this common green water plant. If nothing else it indicates a clear link between man and plant and by extension, all life forms on this planet.

As many couples eager to have children have found out, the first test results for things such as sperm count and volume are not always conclusive or reflective of permanent levels. Sperm count can and does rise and fall and there are several factors that cause this. What is more important is that you know there is a low volume issue and more importantly, low volume is easy to correct.

Many couples tend to test the woman first, then if she pans out as fertile, they look at the man. This is neither scientific nor fair but is done more for reasons of FMES, or fragile male ego syndrome. Not a medically recognized syndrome in the scientific sense but plenty of health professionals will attest that it does exist.

Some doctors have had their male patients storm out of their consulting rooms in dark anger when informed their sperm count was low. No man likes to think he is ‘less a man’ than another but the reality is that even the most macho of men can have a low count period.

Stress, over indulgence of alcohol, over work and tiredness and poor diet all play a part yet too many men automatically equate low sperm count with some physical inadequacy and that it screams ‘pansy’ or whatever. Not so.

Once the male partner can be calmed down and coerced back into the privacy of the doctor’s rooms he can be guided into making some simple choices that will, in most cases, completely reverse the situation. There are many health products on the market that assist in increasing sperm production with no side effects whatsoever. These products are not even pharmaceuticals in the accepted sense and so are much less expensive than drugs and available without prescription.

After even a week or two on the better products available most men find their volume levels are visibly increased and the chances of fertilization occurring greatly increased.

In the beginning, there was the Penis and behold, it was good. It seems humans have been fixated on the beauty and power of the penis as a symbol of manhood, strength, dominance and success. Worldwide, the penis and all its workings have prominently figured in the art and imagination of all cultures. Yet despite all the attention given to penis size, erection capability and lasting power, these are really pretty much an just steps toward the real moment of truth: the orgasm. After all, isn’t that the real goal of all the penis-centered concern, to have bigger and more potent climaxes?

That explains why the spotlight has more recently focused on ejaculation. Men are considering not only the intensity or strength of orgasms, but how their volume of ejaculate affects many aspects of their sexual identity and enjoyment. There are very valid, scientific reasons for this.

Overview of ejaculation

If we take a look at how a male ejaculation takes place perhaps we can put everything into better perspective?

To begin with semen collects in the ejaculatory ducts during sexual stimulation. Males orgasm at the peak of sexual pleasure, when the various muscle groups contract simultaneously. This produces rhythmic contractions of the pubococcygeus muscle (pc muscle) at the same time as there are contractions of the anal sphincter, rectum and perineum, and the ejaculatory ducts and muscles around the penis. The contracting muscles are the key to delivering the load of semen. The first few contractions are the ones that do the business, they are intense and close together, occurring at about 0.8-second intervals. As orgasm continues, the contractions diminish in intensity and duration and occur at less frequent intervals. Its all good, of course but the best is at the beginning.

How much ejaculate is produced is determined by a number of factors, which include heredity, diet, overall health, frequency of sexual activity and age. The fox rating of your partner is not an issue although it surely must help get you started. The content or what’s in the ejaculate, is about the same for all men.

The ejaculate contains sperm and a long list of components that read like a vitamin pill label:

• ascorbic acid (vitamin C),
• calcium, chlorine,
• cholesterol,
• choline,
• citric acid,
• creatine,
• fructose,
• glutathione,
• hyaluronidase,
• inositol,
• lactic acid,
• magnesium,
• nitrogen,
• phosphorus,
• potassium,
• purine,
• pyrimidine,
• pyruvic acid,
• sodium,
• sorbitol,
• vitamin B12, and
• zinc.

There is just a tiny amount of each of these ingredients in what is usually a typical “load” of somewhere between 1.5 ml and 5 ml. The majority of the ejaculate volume is fluid from the prostate and the seminal vesicles. Like most things in life, packaging!

The taste of semen varies greatly from one man to another, again affected by diet and overall physical health. One reasons for a woman preferring to spit rather than swallow could be her first experience was not the most pleasant tasting. The range goes from salty to sweet although it may be bitter or mild. Surprisingly, sperm sometimes creates a very mild “numbing” effect to the lips and tongue of the taster. The good news for gourmands of the gonad is that the taste can be deliberately changed, according to a number of online and physician’s sources.

Healthy ejaculate will appear either translucently whitish or grayish to opaque white. Vasectomized men will have lighter, more translucent semen, devoid of the typical 15 to 20 million sperm of a usual ejaculation, almost see through and very different in taste. Though a variety of textures and appearances are within the healthy range, most people equate very white, dense and more voluminous ejaculate with a healthier and more potent male. Some girls do a stickiness test between thumb and forefinger, the stickier the more powerful is the presumption.

Influences On Ejaculation Volume

A dramatic decrease in ejaculate volume may indicate blockage of one of the ejaculatory ducts. This is something to be concerned about and consult a doctor over. Duct obstruction is diagnosed by prostate ultrasound. Other possible causes of decreased volume include retrograde ejaculation or a long-term infection of the prostate (chronic prostatitis). Decreased semen volume may simply be a normal part of aging and may not necessarily result in decreased fertility but you should get it checked out.

The standard semen analysis measures semen volume and pH, microscopically analyses for debris and agglutination, assesses sperm concentration and morphology, counts sperm leukoctyes and identifies immature germ cells. Usually this is carried out after two to seven days of sexual abstinence, on a semen sample collected at the doctor’s office, the best ones have their nurse collect the specimen. The physician will probably also wish to conduct tests to rule out urinary infection, gonorrhea and chlamydia.

Usually, semen analysis yields results that are technically within the “normal” range. As this is fairly broad, some men may still feel dissatisfied with the contracting power of orgasms, the volume and appearance of their ejaculate, and their fertility. While some cruel souls might tell them to get a life, they really should tell them to get Semenax. For them, and for men who simply wish to experience the added confidence and pleasure of higher semen volume, there is an excellent natural preparation known as Semenax™ (www.Semenax.com) which holistically addresses the problem.

Semenax™ has been shown to increase the volume of ejaculate by as much as 500 percent, and improves quality of sperm, motility of sperm, overall sperm count, and efficiency of semen and sperm production. Men who have used this report their partners commenting positively on how full they feel after just one ejaculation. Whether it does or not is something you can experiment with yourself. I must say there is nothing as confidence inspiring as a partners saying ‘Well that filled the hole’ and she hasn’t had dinner yet if you know what I mean.

Benefits Of Increasing Volume

Apart form improving your chances of starring in a porn flick the advantages of orgasming with greater volume and power are numerous. By increasing both volume of fluid and quantity/health of sperm, the load is not only bigger, more impressive and more pleasurable, but much more potent, too. I mean, you want to impress her don’t you? Pump gallons of gism all over her and I am sure she will be impressed. Keep in mind the semen stain left on Monica’s black dress by former President Bill Clinton was rather miniscule and almost defied effective analysis.

The larger the volume of fluid and sperm that’s available for each orgasm, the more contractions it takes to shoot all of it — and each contraction is stronger and more intense. The male orgasm, typically quite a brief event, can become a much longer-lasting experience.

Potency and fertility are of concern to all men, but particularly those with an immediate desire to impregnate their mate. Infertility is increasingly common, and a product like Semenax™ is a good help in this area.

Finally, there are significant benefits to a man’s confidence when he is able to increase ejaculate volume and power. Sexual confidence is tied not only to success in romantic endeavours, but to many other kinds of success as well; studies show confidence in sexual identity carries over into every aspect of a man’s life. Plus you know that providing you can get it, you’ll get it again because she will be so impressed etc.

How volume-boosting products work

Volume increasers vary a great deal in formulation, cost and the way they are manufactured. Let’s look at a very popular and proven choice, Semenax™, to demonstrate how it works.

Formulated of natural ingredients with centuries of anecdotal proof in many cultures worldwide, the Semenax™ product contains botanicals and natural ingredients to tonify and support the ejaculatory ducts, epididymis, testes, prostate gland, seminal vesicles and vas deferens — that is, every part of the male reproductive system. Semenax™ was developed by a group of health professionals to improve every aspect of sexual function and enjoyment for men. The focus is on volume boosting, because of its many related benefits.

Semenax™ is manufactured in a cGMP Certified Pharmaceutical facility (something to look for when shopping for volume products), and its ingredients include the amino acids L-arginine HCL, L-carnitine and L-lysine to increase testosterone and sperm count and motility; herbals epimedium sagittatum, catuaba bark and South American maca to boost libido and potency; and nutritionals to aid testosterone synthesis and prostate health.

When shopping for a volume boosting product, check for manufacture in a cGMP Certified Pharmaceutical facility, statements attesting to testing and research, and laboratory-controlled dosing.

Of all the problems men face when it comes to men’s health, Premature Ejaculation (PE) has to rank up there at the very top. Perhaps the only thing worse could be erectile dysfunction but PE has far reaching implications for men, often affecting to a certain degree the relationship that a man has with his sexual partner.

While medical practitioners and sex therapists, often give varying definitions of premature ejaculation, they most usually disagree on what actually constitutes PE. Nonetheless, the general agreement is that, as a dysfunction, it occurs in men either on a consistent basis or during particular periods of their lives. One thing is certain, however, when premature ejaculation takes place much too often and begins to severely affect relationships, effective solutions need to be explored and implemented.

Premature ejaculation simply refers to the act of ejaculating a bit too early, either before there is penile penetration or shortly afterwards. While porn stars can pump away for ages, the reality is that most men last a few minutes at best and even less if highly aroused or it has been a long time between drinks. Most men feel that the dysfunction is something that they cannot really control, particularly among younger men who naturally lack sufficient sexual experiences to know better. Older men generally have more control over their ejaculations, but during certain periods in their lives, especially when they encounter problems of varying kinds, they can also experience premature ejaculations.

Many men and sometimes even women, are either not aware of it or, are simply too shy to bring it out in the open and discuss it with a trained professional. They fear that they will be ridiculed or mocked, yet the dysfunction is largely treatable and far more commonplace than often thought. The first step in treating the problem is having the courage to admit that one has premature ejaculation issues. From here, the next step is to seek medical help so the causes of the dysfunction can be properly identified and the most appropriate treatment can be recommended.

Younger men who, because of fears of getting caught, try to speed up the process of sexual intercourse actually train themselves to ejaculate prematurely. A number of medical studies reveal that the dysfunction is actually learned or conditioned for this reason. This behavior tends to persist over time, resulting to consistent premature ejaculations, even as the men grow in age and no longer need worry about ‘getting caught’ in the act.

The obvious assumption, if PE is learned or conditioned, is that it can likewise be unlearned or unconditioned. This is usually the goal of most premature ejaculation treatment programs. By and large, these programs are effective, especially when conducted under the supervision of a trained and certified sex therapist. However, a number of men find the sessions too long at times and want to leave early. As well, the fact that complete strangers having the same problem are also taking part in the program can often inhibit their own treatment. When these factors are present, patients usually try to explore other avenues to resolve their PE problems. Commonly they look for solutions that are quick and easy to follow like using certain sex pills.

Men have been making use of special pills to address premature ejaculation problems for years as they offer faster solutions to their PE concerns. What makes these sex pills such a potent premature ejaculation weapon can be traced to the ingredients that they contain. Even certified medical doctors recommend these so-called sex pills to men suffering from a variety of erectile dysfunctions like premature ejaculation simply because they find them to be largely effective.. Many of these have chemical contents, such as those found in medications classified as anti-depressants. Popular brands are collectively called SSRI’s or Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors.

SSRI’s have recently been found to be effective as well in addressing premature ejaculation concerns as they have been for many years in treating cases of depression. Funnily enough, this particular healing property of the drugs appears to be more of a normal side effect rather than anything else. Regardless, various doctors found them to be quite useful and have started prescribing them to men suffering from this condition.

The mainstream medical world, which previously was hesitant in making use of natural herbs to treat certain human dysfunctions like premature ejaculation, has begun to realize the true value of herbal plants. Herbal ingredients contained in several sex pills have the basic advantage of being pure and natural, and ostensibly carry no adverse side effects, unlike their chemically based counterparts. In real terms, Herbal-based sex drugs have recently gained immense popularity as more and more people are beginning to realize the benefits that one can get from taking pure and unadulterated substances.

The leader of the herbal-based sex drugs pack is VigRXPlus™. This particular sex-enhancement pill boasts of having all-natural ingredients, basically extracts of various herbal plants that have long been known to help man gain more power sexually and even get rid of common sexual dysfunctions like premature ejaculation.

Two major ingredients all experts agree are vital are Cuscuta and Gingko Biloba. Cuscuta seed happens to be particularly effective in addressing premature ejaculation concerns, while the Ginkgo Biloba is said to be capable of increasing blood flow in the vascular region that can ostensibly help improve penile erections. Extracts from plants like the Cuscuta seed and the Ginkgo Biloba have been included in every bottle of VigRXPlus™ along with other popular herbal products, making for a truly potent sex pill..

VigRXPlus™ happens to be just one of many all-natural-based sex enhancing drugs currently trying to attract the attention of concerned men, but it claims to be the safest and the most effective among other similar brands. Visit its official website, VigRXPlus.com

Semen often absorbs the flavors of foods consumed prior to ejaculation. Some foods are more potent than others and taint the seminal fluid with very definite flavors. Avocado is a very strong flavor enhancer of semen and the vitamins within the avocado itself, as well as the fats and other elements can alter the specific qualities of the ejaculant, not just its taste.

Curry flavors also stand out, as do very pungent garlic varieties after consuming Indian or Korean foods. Some seminal samples collected after a day or two of vegetarian only meals also display very noticeable tastes and odors that are different from standard semen samples.

Is this a problem? The bottom line is no, it is not a problem and has no kno0wn affect on the quality of the sperm. It does not appear to alter the DNA of the sperm in any way. An unidentified female subject in tests carried out by the University of South California State did express concerns her ‘blonde’ eggs might be impregnated by ‘ethnic food flavored’ sperm, resulting in unwanted facial characteristics and accented speech in any offspring that resulted. She was removed from the test group.

So far there has been no proven correlation between ingested foods and increased sperm count, although spicy foods seem to lower the motility of sperm in some cases. Foods that indicate increased volume of seminal fluid and by extension more sperm include oysters, clam chowders, crab meat, lobster meat and shrimp. At this stage there is no explanation for these findings however it is believed that no harm will come from imbibing sea foods particularly shell fish prior to ejaculation.
