Introduction
A normal person may ejaculate 6,000 to 10,000 times in a lifetime. If a male has relatively frequent sexual activity and is in good physical condition, the number of ejaculations in his lifetime may approach or reach 10,000. Conversely, if a male's sexual activity is infrequent or his physical condition is poor, the number of ejaculations may be relatively lower, possibly around 6,000.

Under normal circumstances, a healthy individual may ejaculate 2,000 to 7,000 times throughout their lifetime. There is generally no fixed number, as this varies significantly among individuals and is influenced by multiple factors such as age, health status, frequency of sexual activity, and individual physiological differences. A detailed analysis is as follows:

  

From a physiological perspective, after puberty, as the gonads develop and mature, males begin to acquire the ability to ejaculate. During young adulthood, libido and sexual function are relatively strong, and ejaculation frequency is relatively high, possibly several times per week. As one enters middle and old age, sexual hormone levels decline and sexual function gradually diminishes, resulting in a natural decrease in ejaculation frequency, which may reduce to several times per month or even less.

It should be emphasized that ejaculation is a normal physiological reflex in males. Moderate ejaculation, such as through regular sexual activity or masturbation, does not harm health and can help relieve sexual stress. However, excessively frequent ejaculation may lead to physical fatigue, genital congestion, and other discomforts. The appropriate frequency should be determined based on individual tolerance without causing noticeable discomfort.

As long as there are no problems such as excessive fatigue, pain, or sexual dysfunction during sexual activity, moderate ejaculation is a normal physiological phenomenon, and the number of ejaculations should not be a cause for concern. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, moderate exercise, and good psychological well-being, to maintain normal sexual function.
