Are virgins any more fertile?

Every moment is a teachable moment and you can learn something on every story if you keep your mind positive. The saga of Justin Bieber accused of fathering a child with a 20 year old woman is a heartbroken one. My daughter is only two and a half year old but I am thinking of my nephews. If I receive a call right now telling me one of my nephews is accused of such a a thing it would be hard to take. But that is just a another whole story.

I have been reading couple of magazines, newspapers and blogs talking about this issue
. You will be surprise by how many experts are giving their point of views from Psychology, social, financial and fame.You will learn so much from different professionals for free.

Getting professional help in this issue costly so much as I happen to know few people who are looking to have children but do not have that luck yet. If you are trying to conceive and is taking longer than you expected is so stressful, overwhelm and costly. Don't take anything for granted if you had your children so easily because there are so many people going through a lot just to have a kid and the number of these people is growing larger and larger because many people are having babies at their 30s and 40s.

When I was reading about Justin Bieber scandal I found one expert explained things that many people are not aware of. He explained that as we all know semen quality is the key factor in conceiving a baby but the most important thing is in determining the quality of an ejaculate are its sperm count, whether they have a normal and healthy shape and size and whether or not the sperm are good swimmers. As the men age three of these measures decline. 

He also said that a lack of sexual experience can make a man less fertile if he has not ejaculated recently (no matter the means of ejaculation). He continued to "say in men who have not ejaculated for a week or longer, the sperm stored in the testes begin to degrade and die out, leading to lower fertility. On the other hand, a man who has ejaculated within the last day or two might have a lower sperm count. Physicians who work at fertility clinics and sperm banks usually prefer that two to seven days have passed since the previous ejaculation, so that the sperm are healthy and plentiful. A man who has not ejaculated recently may produce a higher volume of semen, but high semen volume in itself doesn’t indicate higher fertility."

The myth that virgins are more fertile is not true but he said the truth in that story is that many start their experience at younger age that testosterone levels reach their peak among men.
