1. How Does Long-Term Abstinence Affect Sperm Quality in Men? Will It Harm the Body?
Whether long-term abstinence in men will harm the body needs to be discussed from the perspective of the male reproductive system.
The male reproductive system is a complex and intricate system where different organs and tissues work together to produce and store sperm, including the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, testes, and epididymis, among others.
Male sperm is born in the testes, then develops into spermatogonia, primary spermatocytes, and finally sperm cells, which remain in the epididymis to absorb nutrients, awaiting their "time to shine." If sexual desire is controlled for a long time, the sperm will be metabolized and broken down by the body's hydrolytic enzymes and proteases, and absorbed into the bloodstream by the lymphatic system.
