What Are the Potential Hazards of Not Ejaculating?

During sexual climax, forcibly suppressing ejaculation or even pinching the penis with one's hand to prevent semen from exiting can lead to semen flowing back into the bladder, resulting in retrograde ejaculation. Over time, this can lead to infertility.

From the perspective of marital life, both men and women may not be sexually satisfied, leading to a lack of harmony in their sexual relationship. Over time, this can affect the emotional bond between spouses. Additionally, from a medical and physiological perspective, during ejaculation, rhythmic contractions occur in the vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate, and urethral muscles. If one forcibly pinches the penis to prevent semen from exiting, the semen can flow back into the bladder, resulting in retrograde ejaculation. If this occurs frequently over time, it can become a conditioned response, leading to frequent retrograde ejaculation and potentially causing infertility. Furthermore, suppressing ejaculation can disrupt sexual function, leading to sexual dysfunction, and in the long run, may cause prostate issues and impotence in men.

1. Urinate Promptly: Urinating promptly after sexual activity helps flush out the urethra and prevents infections. For women, urinating immediately after sexual activity is a simple and effective way to prevent urinary tract infections. Due to the short and straight nature of the female urethra, bacteria from the external genitalia can ascend into the urethra during sexual activity, causing urethritis, cystitis, and other infections.

2. Do Not Sleep Immediately: After sexual activity, men often feel tired, and many choose to sleep deeply, thinking it will eliminate the feeling of fatigue. However, the opposite is true; this can actually prolong the feeling of fatigue from ejaculation into the next day. Typically, the duration of sexual activity from arousal to climax is approximately 5 to 20 minutes under normal conditions, but it can be longer in some cases.
