If I stop masturbating, could something bad happen to me?
Mar 19, 2009 by Scott | Posted in Men's Health
I masturbate normally 3 times a week, but I have gone about 5 days without doing so. I have heard rumors that if you stop masturbating, your ball sack will explode, or something will due to semen storage. Is that true?
no, your body can tell when your balls are full and will stop production of the semen. when they empty, then production will resume.

no nothing like that will happen, because there are plenty of people that are celebate (dont have sex) and they are fine. If you stop, your semen will adjust to your body, it will always be there when you need it, but nothing will happen if you dont use it.

Can you store your semen?
Jun 29, 2009 by John G | Posted in Men's Health
If I store my semen and then get a vasectomy, could I still have children with the stored semen? Artificially? I want the semen just in storage for my own use, so I can have safe sex with no worries and if I want children later it's not a problem.
Is this theoretically and practically possible?
Sure you could if you made arrangements with a sperm bank that specializes in that sort of thing. It is done all the time.

But why bother? I did not store any. I had a vasectomy when I was 21. I have no children. I am now 43. I am more thankful than ever. Trust me, if you have no children you will never miss them.
When they thaw the sperm and put them in your partner it is called IVF. That costs about 27K$ each try. But that is “chumpchange” compared to what the baby will cost you.

Yes sure if ur semen is wroth producing child I mean if the sperm counts are good and worth and u can use ur semen later too as it can be saved in the semen bank

how to increase the capacity of storing semen into the body?
May 07, 2009 by seema sharma | Posted in Biology
is there any way to increase the storage capacity
myques is not to increase the amt of semen but to increase the storage capacity
there is a difference in both?

Effects of semen storage and separation techniques on sperm DNA fragmentation.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of semen storage and separation techniques on sperm DNA fragmentation. DESIGN: Controlled clinical study. SETTING: An assisted reproductive technology laboratory. PATIENT(S): Thirty normoozospermic semen samples obtained from patients undergoing infertility evaluation. INTERVENTION(S): One aliquot from each sample was immediately prepared (control) for the sperm chromatin dispersion assay (SCD). Aliquots used to assess storage techniques were treated in the following ways: snap frozen by liquid nitrogen immersion, slow frozen with Tris-yolk buffer and glycerol, kept on ice for 24 hours or maintained at room temperature for 4 and 24 hours. Aliquots used to assess separation techniques were processed by the following methods: washed and centrifuged in media, swim-up from washed sperm pellet, density gradient separation, density gradient followed by swim-up. DNA integrity was then measured by SCD. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): DNA fragmentation as measured by SCD. RESULT(S): There was no significant difference in fragmentation among the snap frozen, slow frozen, and wet-ice groups. Compared to other storage methods short-term storage at room temperature did not impact DNA fragmentation yet 24 hours storage significantly increased fragmentation. Swim-up, density gradient and density gradient/swim-up had significantly reduced DNA fragmentation levels compared with washed semen. Postincubation, density gradient/swim-up showed the lowest fragmentation levels. CONCLUSION(S): The effect of sperm processing methods on DNA fragmentation should be considered when selecting storage or separation techniques for clinical use.
