oh I thought it did the opposite...how's that work?

2-4 days abstinence increases sperm count because it optimizes the turnover of sperm so you get the most, fresh sperm. It's like a supply and demand kinda thing - if the supply and demand are in balance, you get a lot of good quality sperm.

7-10 days abstinence lowers sperm count (sways pink) because the testicles kinda give up and stop churning out as many sperm and the sperm that are in the nuts are often older and lower quality. So lower demand = lower supply.

Frequent release also lowers sperm count (sways pink) because the testicles can't keep up, so less sperm are made - they may be higher quality though. So too high of demand also = lower supply because the equipment can only produce so much.

2-4 days abstinence seems to be the perfect amount of supply and demand, where the body produces a large amount of high quality semen. (sways blue)
