Is The Amount Of Semen Or Cum Released By A Man During Sex & Ejaculation Related To How Much He Loves, Feels, Or Is Attracted To A Woman?

Almost every woman has wondered if the amount of sperm or cum released by her man or boyfriend during sexual activity is related to how much he loves her, or how beautiful and attractive she is to him, or even the intensity and how long the sex lasts.

I know that because I am a woman and have many female friends, and of course, we talk.

In other words, if he thinks she is very beautiful and attractive or if the sexual activity was very good and long, she would be “rewarded” with a much higher volume of semen as a sign of “that was great“!

Well, as someone in the health care field, that assertion is false. This is because the amount or quantity of semen a man ejaculates during sex depends on many factors, such as:

• Age: Males tend to ejaculate the largest volume of semen in their late twenties to thirties. The quantity decreases as they age.
  
• Sexual activity: The amount of semen or cum is also greatly affected by recent sexual activity. The amount of semen greatly decreases after each sexual activity, including masturbation. A man/boy who has not had sex for a long time will also produce a much higher volume of semen.
  
  Men also tend to last longer or climax quicker, depending on when they last had a sexual activity leading to ejaculation, which also applies to masturbation.
  
• Genetic factors: Hereditary factors also affect the volume of semen a man can give out. Some people naturally ejaculate more or less compared to others, regardless of health or lifestyle.
  
• Lifestyle: Diet, smoking, and many other lifestyle factors can affect the overall health and well-being of a man, including semen quantity and quality. For example, most research and studies conclude that regular exercise may improve fertility and sperm quality, and increase semen volume. Some foods can also encourage the body to produce more of it.
  
• Overall health: Hormonal issues and general health may affect semen/cum volume. For example, a man with a chronic illness, such as diabetes, might notice a change in their seminal volume and/or quality.

Asides from the factors affecting the volume of cum a man can ejaculate during sexual climax, according to a study on “The Importance of Male Ejaculation for Female Sexual Satisfaction and Function” by Andrea Burri, Joceline Buchmeier and Hartmut Porst, the amount of semen released by a man during sex and ejaculation does not really bother the majority of women; though a good number of them say they do take notice and it in fact affects how much they might enjoy sex with a man.

According to the study, which includes a cross-sectional online survey of 240 sexually active, heterosexual women with an average age of 27.4 years old, using study-specific questions and validated questionnaires:

“50.43% of women considered it very important that the partner ejaculates during intercourse. 18.3% of women preferred that the partner ejaculate before they reach orgasm, whereas for 53.5% this did not matter. 22.6% of women stated that they experienced a more intense orgasm when their partner ejaculated during vaginal intercourse.”

“17.4% reported that they definitely experienced a more intense orgasm depending on the intensity of their partner’s ejaculation, whereas for 17.8%, this did not matter at all. 20.9% of women did not feel that their orgasm was more intense depending on the subjectively felt ejaculate quantity, whereas the majority (37.9%) stated that it did not matter.”

13.1% of women regarded the quantity of ejaculate as an expression of their own sexual attractiveness. Women stating that they experienced more intense orgasms when the partner ejaculated, when the partner experienced a more intense ejaculation, and when he expelled a greater load.
