Sperm count TMI Warning

Emillz5 · August 2015

I've been lurking and looking on google and I couldn't seem to find the answer to my question.

Okay, so last night my DH and I had sex, and the first time he finished we were in the middle of changing positions, and little if any went inside of me. But we kept going and the second time he finished he went inside of me. I was wondering if the sperm count and/or quality of the second time is significantly lower than the first time?

Sorry if this is a weird question, but thank you ladies!!

No one has any idea. I would assume if he had a full orgasm the first time he would have emptied everything and then round 2 probably would have no semen in it. If he just had some leakage, then the second time may have more semen.

After reading the few articles I linked below I'd think there would be less sperm if the second ejaculation was right after the first.

Here's the only actual study I could find on it, though it was based off of a four hour difference:

Here's another article. The last two paragraphs apply to what you're asking:

And one last one for you, though it is the least reliable source:

Happy reading!
